Abstract (AI)
The most widely form of renewable energy is the hydropower, which produces electrical power using the gravitational force of falling or flowing water. Comparing to fossil fuel powered energy plants, hydropower plants are considered „green” energy source, because they do not produce direct waste and have almost no output level of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Hydropower is the most important source of renewable electricity generation – 86.3 %, and essential to operate the others sources of renewable energy that are random generation.
Key Findings
1
Compared with fossil-fuel power plants, hydropower is characterized as a green energy source because it produces no direct waste and nearly no carbon dioxide emissions.
2
Hydropower accounts for 86.3% of renewable electricity generation, according to the abstract.
3
Hydropower generates electricity from the gravitational force of falling or flowing water.
4
Hydropower is described as essential for operating other renewable energy sources with intermittent generation.
