Recovering Energy from Flowing Water– Hydroelectric, Tidal and Wave Technologies
May 26, 2010 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)
90 Minute Accredited Online Training
Who Should Attend
This online training will benefit professionals in the following industries: power generation (all sources), alternative and renewable energy
production industries, environmentally conscious power generation and design industry, commercial/academia/government power production
programs and initiatives.
Job functions that would benefit from the online training include: power process and project engineers, process energy auditors, process
and technical services managers, utility engineers and operations, and technicians who work in departments such as: power research and
development, commercial development of alternative energy sources, power techno-economic evaluation and assessment, manufacturing, and
operations. Additionally those scientists, engineers, politicians, lobbyists and community leaders with an interest in alternative, renewable and
sustainable power generation would benefit from this course.
Description
In traditional hydroelectric plants, the kinetic energy of flowing water is converted into electricity by running the water through a turbinegenerator.
Other hydroelectric plants store river water behind dams and release the water to flow through turbines to generate electricity. Tidal
power generation and wave power also use flowing water but are limited due to high capital costs and limited areas where this type of power
can be applied. The current state and future potential of the utilization of all types of water power, including efficiency, economic and
environmental considerations will be addressed in this webinar.
