Renewable Source - Hydroelectric Energy
Renewable Source - Hydroelectric Energy: The electricity generated by moving the turbines of a generator using the energy of fowing water (or falling water) is called hydroelectric energy or hydel energy. During rain or snowfall, the potential energy of water molecules is converted into kinetic energy. When ice at higher altitudes melts, Its gravitational potential energy is converted in to kinetic energy and it flows as a stream of water or as a river. If we storerainwater by constructing a dam, the water has higher potential energy.
When this water is allowed to fall from a height, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. This kinetic energy of flowing water can be used to rotate the turbine blades along with the armature of electric generator to produce electricity There are a number of large hydroelectric power stations in India, famous ones being at Bhakra Dam Hirakund Dam and Narmada Sarover Dams. Mini hydroelectric power plants can be constructed in hilly regions or at small dams if the water falls from the height of at least 10 meters.
Advantages:
1. Once completed, the hydroelectric power station needs only maintenance and proper management, which is not much costly.
2. A dam constructed for hydroclectric power station can also be used for irrigation and it helps prevent floods.
Limitations:
1. The cost of installation (construction) of a hydroelectric power station is very high.
2. The requirement of a large area for constructing the dam leads to destruction of forests and causes a great ecological imbalance.

My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.

10thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Yatharthi Sharma
10thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
