The Hydro Power Report Ed 1 2005 is a comprehensive market analysis of the global hydro power market, including extensive information on the hydro power market, all the related advantages and disadvantages of hydro power and a complete history of hydro power charting its development and expansion through to the current status of the hydro power market its future prospects.
Hydro power is the largest renewable source of electricity, accounting for 6% of primary energy supply and 17% of electrical generation. Although there are hydro electric projects under construction in about 80 countries, most of the remaining hydro potential is found in developing countries particularly in South and
Central Asia,
Latin America and
Africa.
The Hydro Power Report covers the contribution of hydro power to the energy mix, the history of hydropower and its development through different patterns for PHP and SHP. A technical background to hydro power is provided with an overview of base load & peaking with hydropower. As with all energies, there are advantages and disadvantages to the use of hydro power and accordingly we examine the related environmental concerns of hydro power. In this area, the hydro power report discusses environmental objections to hydropower and the different impacts on the futures for LHP (large hydro power) and SHP (small hydro power), the effects on population, wild life, eco systems, water diversion, landscape, and the potentially critical new problem of methane, which is being researched and could condemn large hydro power as more environmentally damaging than fossil fuels. Regional & country hydropower profiles are included for
Europe, CIS,
North America, Latin America & Caribbean,
Asia, Asia Pacific,
Africa and the
Middle East. Both large hydro power and small hydropower, mini and micro, are covered within the hydro power report and the differences and advantages and disadvantages of both forms of hydro power are explored.
Also outlined in the Hydro Power Report is the size of the hydropower industry, this is done separately for large hydro power and small hydro power. Our hydro power market analysis covers future demand for hydropower, both large hydro power and small hydro power. Lists of hydro plants are provided for each country and special features include the development of small hydro power in
Europe, the Big Dam Period in the
USA and the small hydro power sector and its development in
China, which accounts for 39% of the world’s new SHP construction.
The Hydro Power Report also provides a summary of the different hydro power technologies and the advantages and disadvantages of each, as well as the history of each hydro power technology. 25 Charts and 71 Tables show hydro power statistics of total capacity and generation, hydro power installed capacity and hydro power generation, hydro energy resources by region, hydro capacity and generation by region, hydro power plants listed by country and hydro dam construction by region.
