run-of-river hydroelectric systems
Run-of-river hydroelectric systems are renewable energy systems that harness the energy of flowing water in a river to generate electricity, without the need for a dam or reservoir. They consist of a turbine that is placed in the river, which is driven by the natural flow of the water, converting the kinetic energy into electrical energy. These systems provide continuous, low-impact power generation, utilizing the natural flow of water to produce clean and sustainable electricity.
