Doha west power Generation and Water Distillation Station is one of the main base load plants of the country governed by the ministry of electricity and water‚ government of Kuwait. This power station is situated in Doha‚ located approx. 15 km to the west of Kuwait city. This power station is composed of eight power generating units of 300 M.W. capacity each and 16 water distillation units of 6/6.2 million imperial gallons per day capacity each. In all‚ power station is capable of generating 2400

the hydro power. From year 1981 to 1991‚ renewable energy developed very fast‚ and the following text may concentrate on the hydro power. Hydro power is the energy driven by water turbine‚ People always use it to produce electricity. The falling water drives the turbines‚ and the turbines in turns to drive the generators. Then the generators translate the turbines’ mechanical energy into electricity. The hydrologic cycle produces neither atmospheric nor the normal pollution. Hydro power has been

Hydro-electric Power Plants Introduction The term hydroelectricity is electricity produced by transforming the kinetic energy of rushing water into electric energy. Hydro electricity is a renewable energy source because the water cycle ensures that there is always a supply of water with high potential energy in the power plant’s reservoir. Hydroelectricity provides more than 75% of electricity produced from renewable sources. In hydroelectric power plants‚ the water is utilized to move

Most hydroelectric energy comes from the potential energy of dammed water driving a turbine to generate electricity‚ but variations of hydroelectric energy uses the kinetic energy of undammed water. Ultimately‚ hydroelectric power is a combination of solar energy and gravitational potential energy. Sun¡¯s radiant energy

Hydroelectric Dams Introduction In this Alternative Energy Project you are going to read about Hydroelectric Dams‚ and learn how Hydroelectric Dams work. You will also be reading the disadvantages and advantages of hydroelectric dams‚ and more. How does Hydroelectric Dams work? Hydroelectric Dams works by letting the energy of the water flow turn into an electric voltage. Then water goes through a series of turbines‚ then the water makes the turbines turn‚ and then it creates electricity

GENERAL ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION DISADVANTAGES: 1. Nuclear power is a controversial method of producing electricity. Many people and environmental organisations are very concerned about the radioactive fuel it needs. 2. There have been serious accidents with a small number of nuclear power stations. The accident at Chernobyl (Ukraine) in 1986‚ led to 30 people being killed and over 100‚000 people being evacuated. In the preceding years another 200

achievement that has made a huge impact to today’s society is the Shippingport Atomic Power Station. The Shippingport Atomic Power Station was the first world full scale atomic power plant that was devoted to exclusively to peacetime users only. The power station started its production December 18‚ 1957. It took thirty two months to create the power station and it cost 72.5 million dollars. The Shippingport Atomic Power Station ground was broken in 1954 during dedication ceremonies by President Dwight D
