  3. INTRODUCTION Hydropower is electricity generated using the energy of moving water, this energy has been exploited for centuries, the kinetic energy of the flowing river turns the wheel and is converted into mechanical energy that runs the mill. In the late 19th century, hydropower became a source for generating electricity. The first hydroelectric power plant was built at Niagara Falls in 1879. In 1881, street lamps in the city of Niagara Falls were powered by hydropower. In 1882 the world’s first hydroelectric power plant began operating in the United States in Appleton, Wisconsin.

  4. GENERAL CENTRAL HYDROELECTRIC • A typical hydro plant is a system with three parts: • An electric plant where the electricity is produced • A dam that can be opened or closed to control water flow • A reservoir where water can be stored.

  5. OVERVIEW The water behind the dam flows through an intake and pushes against blades in a turbine, causing them to turn. The turbine spins a generator to produce electricity. The amount of electricity that can be generated depends on how far the water drops and how much water moves through the system. The electricity can be transported over long-distance electric lines to homes, factories, and businesses.

  20. FUTURE PROJECTS • HydroelectricItuango (2.400 MW) Figure 13. Perspective Ituango Hydroelectric Project, taken from http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oGcLxzitCCc/TtqL4fb_9iI/AAAAAAAAChQ/eLPfONpJx-s/s1600/Hidroituango.jpg&

  21. CONCLUSIONS • It is important to ensure that new hydropower projects to guarantee delivery and export. • Oursneed to assess and take into account several factors in any hydroelectric project, mainly the environmental impact can generate. • Find other generation alternatives with less impact to the ecosystem but economically feasible and within the concept of sustainable development.
