Jõevooluhüdroenergia
Jõevooluhüdroenergia, also known as run-of-river hydroelectricity, is a type of hydroelectric power generation that does not require a large dam or reservoir. Instead, it utilizes the natural flow of a river to spin turbines and generate electricity. Water is diverted from the river into a channel or penstock, which leads to the turbines. The force of the moving water then turns the turbines, which are connected to generators that produce electricity.
This method of hydropower has several advantages. It typically has a lower environmental impact compared to
Unlike storage hydropower, which relies on a reservoir to store water and release it as needed, run-of-river
