Classification of Hydroelectric power plants
This chapter discusses various ways to classify hydroelectric power plants. It describes classification based on the quantity of available water (run-of-river with or without pondage, storage, pumped storage). It also covers classification by head (high, medium, low), load characteristics (base load, peak load), transmission system (isolated, interconnected), capacity (large, medium, small), purpose (single, multi-purpose), hydrological relation (single stage, cascade), and turbine characteristics. The learning objectives are to understand these classification systems and apply them to hydroelectric plants in Ethiopia.
