Because D.C. power can be stored, the system is collecting power 24 hours a day, a little at
There are two main types of hydropower turbines: reaction and impulse. The type of hydropower turbine selected for a project is based on the height of standing water—referred to as "head"—and the flow, or volume of water over time, at the site. Other deciding factors include how deep the turbine must be set, turbine efficiency, and cost.

Hydropower was one of the first sources of energy used for electricity generation, and until 2019, hydropower was the leading source of total annual U.S. renewable electricity generation. In 2022, hydroelectricity accounted for about 6.2% of total U.S. utility-scale 1 electricity generation and 28.7% of total utility-scale renewable
Hydropower converts the energy of moving water into electricity. It includes a number of generation and storage technologies, predominantly hydroelectricity and Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES). Hydropower is one of the oldest and most mature energy technologies, and has been used in various forms for thousands of years.
Hydropower relies on the endless, constantly recharging system of the water cycle to produce electricity, using a fuel—water—that is not reduced or eliminated in the process. There are many types of hydropower facilities, though they are all powered by the kinetic energy of flowing water as it moves downstream.
Hydropower plants can be coupled with alkaline water electrolyzers to generate green hydrogen. Depending on the head and the available volume rate, small- to large-capacity hydrogen generation plants of this kind can be installed. Hydroelectric power generation is an established technology that uses the potential energy of water to generate electricity.
