Generally speaking, it's best to ensure that water and electricity stay far away from each other. Though water itself doesn't conduct electricity very well, the ions that are in play (in swimming ...

Having now sorted solar, wind, and tidal power into three “boxes,” let’s keep going and investigate another source of non-fossil energy and put it in a box. Today we’ll look at hydroelectricity. As ...

Despite being the most widely used form of renewable energy worldwide, hydroelectricity is generally reserved for large-scale commercial installations built around massive dams. Japanese company ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Ken Silverstein covers global energy and climate issues. A Catch 22 is now ensnaring the Pacific Northwest. Indeed, the region’s ...

Pumped-storage hydroelectricity systems are to be found throughout the world, but always on a large scale. Researchers investigated whether energy storage via pumped hydro systems is possible on a ...

In the first nine months of 2022, Spain generated 48% less hydroelectricity than it did during the first three quarters of 2021, according to data from the national electricity grid operator REE. In ...

Despite its long history, hydroelectricity and its sustainable development have always been a matter of controversy. Despite its long history, hydroelectricity and its sustainable development have ...

Hydraulic engineering is increasingly relied on for hydroelectricity generation. However, redirecting stream flow can yield unintended consequences. Researchers from the U.S. and Peru have documented ...

Hydroelectricity -- using the flow of water to generate power -- has long been a small but key source of renewable energy. How can cities around the country better harness that potential? A startup in ...
