In this part, we are going to examine hydroelectricity as an alternative source of power to fossil fuels in terms of Turkey’s technology assessments for climate change. Turkey has rugged terrain conditions and more than 25 river basins. (International Hydropower Association, 2014) That makes Turkey...

Hydroelectric power involves the generation of power from streaming or falling water. The constant flow of water in a river is used to run the turbines. The kinetic energy of running water helps in rotating the external turbines which in turn rotate the magnets tied...

The hydro plants require less starting time and take a load in a very short time as compared to thermal plants which take several time to make the boilers, superheater and turbine system ready to take the load. Hydro plants have the capability to handle...

Renewable Energy Present Renewable energy is any naturally occurring, theoretically inexhaustible source of energy, as biomass, solar, wind, tidal, wave, and hydroelectric power that is not derived from fossil or nuclear fuel. There are five general types of renewable energies including wind, solar, geothermal, biomass...

Invented in the 1940s and now used in over 90 percent of U.S. drilling operations, hydraulic fracturing is a method of extraction of natural gas and oil that involves injecting fluid in high pressures in order to crack the geological formation such as rocks that...
