Sentences with phrase «by hydropower generation»

Not exact matches

This has happened in part because much of the Northeast relies on readily available hydropower from Canada and rapidly expanding natural - gas - fired electricity generation made possible by cheap natural gas from newly exploited shale deposits in Pennsylvania.

Despite this, hydropower will remain the largest source of renewable electricity generation in 2022 under the IEA's forecast, followed by wind, solar PV and bioenergy.

The report said power generated by new and existing wind, solar, biomass, waste - to - energy, geothermal, marine, and small hydropower plants comprised about 12.1 % of global power generation in 2017, up from 11 % in 2016.

Wind becomes the single largest source of renewable generation by 2040, supplanting hydropower as the largest renewable generation source.

The bulk of LADWP's 4,000 MW to 6,000 MW load is met by out - of - basin nuclear, coal and hydropower generation delivered through four transmission lines.

On subseasonal timescales, probabilistic predictions of wind, solar and hydropower generation can help stabilize energy costs and supply by improving scheduling and trading, maintenance scheduling, reducing curtailments and imbalance penalties, improving decisions about reserve energy sources, maximizing grid integration, and planning capacity commitments.

Several generation resources are also fully permitted and readily available to come online by 2021, after the plant's closure, including clean, renewable hydropower able to replace up to 1,000 megawatts of power.

Hydropower capacity has increased by slightly more than 1 % over the past decade, although actual hydropower generation can vary noticeably by season depending on water supply cHydropower capacity has increased by slightly more than 1 % over the past decade, although actual hydropower generation can vary noticeably by season depending on water supply chydropower generation can vary noticeably by season depending on water supply conditions.

Wind and solar generation are qualitatively different from electricity generated by fossil fuels, nuclear energy, or hydropower.

With regard to the generation, hydropower still is the major source of energy by far.

Even so, hydropower output would have had to grow by almost 40 % if it were to have displaced the increase in coal - fired power generation, an unrealistic prospect regardless of the weather.

In Papua, the location and relatively low population density of villages without access makes them prime candidates for mini - and off - grid technologies, powered mostly by renewables - based generation (predominantly solar and small - scale hydropower).

BPA curtails hydropower generation as far as it can, but is constrained by regulations limiting how much water can be spilled over the dams.

A part of the problem of the pseudo-random variability of supply and demand could be overcome by introducing Supply Dependent Load, which is discussed in my Sustainable Electricity page and hydropower could also be used to balance generation and consumption (as is done very effectively with wind power in Denmark balanced by hydropower from Norway).

It would be an exceptionally useful experiment in managing the adoption of renewable energy technologies to isolate California from all external sources of fossil, nuclear, and hydropower generation and to rely instead upon solar and wind backed by a combination of grid - scale energy storage facilities and gas - fired backup generation capacity.
