Not exact matches

Martine Lechevalier, technical manager of hydro and thermal power plants at EDF Energies Nouvelles, the renewable - energy company where Bourtourault now works, agrees.

Additionally, the pumped - storage plant itself effectively increased the company's efficiency (by pumping water to a holding pond at night thereby taking advantage of unused generating capacity) while improving its environmental credentials (the hydro plant emitted no air pollution).

Its clean energy portfolio, which accounts for over 18 % of the total equity capacity at end - 2011, includes hydro - electric, solar, wind and biomass plants.

The St. George hydro plant is located in St. George, New Brunswick, at the confluence of the Magaguadavic River and a tidal estuary of the Bay of Fundy.

An excellent study by Joe Wheatley of the relatively isolated all Ireland grid, EifrGrid, which has negligible hydro, negligible interconnectors to UK, no nuclear and a mix of modern CCGT, coal, peat and CHP plants, and 17 % of electricity generated by wind power in 2011, found that wind was just 53 % effective at reducing CO2 emissions per MWh.

Solar and wind thus require that natural gas plants, hydro - electric dams, batteries or some other form of reliable power be ready at a moment's notice to start churning out electricity when the wind stops blowing and the sun stops shining.

ERCs can be produced by energy efficiency, renewables, new nuclear generation, or from incremental capacity uprates at existing nuclear, hydro, and NGCC power plants.

The 99.33 % of wind power output that went AWOL for hours (at various times, 3 days straight) was, instead, all supplied by conventional generators; the vast bulk of which came from coal and gas plants, with the balance coming from hydro.

Hydro storage and pumped hydro are perfectly good energy storage mechanisms, but since we have the NG peak plants why not continue using them at lower capacity?

Those who would construct, at significant environmental cost, more hydro plant, must factor in the cost to the commons of environmental degradation of our rivers.

But then I went on to envisage, at least in my own mind, a time when large fossil fuel generators had all closed own — mainly in order to avoid ruining our one and only habitable planet — and that the 24/7 power supply would be a mix of Solar PV, solar thermal (eg CSP), wind and the lesser sources such as hydro, tidal, geothermal etc having taken over the complete electricity supply — especially since Australia doesn't have, and is almost certain never to have, nuclear fission plants.

Solar and wind thus require that natural gas plants, hydro - electric dams, batteries or some other form of reliable power be ready at a moment's notice...

At present, more than 670 run - of - river power plants and some 1,800 small - scale hydro power stations are in operation, which generate approx. 60 % of Austria's electricity needs.
