A hydroelectric generation system and a method for hydroelectric generation
A HYDROELECTRIC GENERATION SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR HYDROELECTRIC GENERATION A hydroelectric generation system 1 including a formation, in the form a manmade dam 2 having a dam wall 3, for containing a body of water 4. A first outlet 5 is disposed in the base of wall 3 at an effective elevation El for receiving a first flow 6 of water from the body of water 4. A hydroelectric generation unit 8 is disposed at a second elevation E2 that is lower than elevation El and is driven by flow 6 for supplying first electrical energy 9 to transmission lines 10. A PV electrical power generation unit, in the form of a plurality of floating PV arrays 13, 14 and 15, supplies second electrical energy 16 via transmission lines 17. Distribution infrastructure, in the form of a transformer and switching yard 20, transmits energy 9 and 16 via transmission lines 21 to an electrical distribution network in the form of a public electricity distribution grid 22. A controller 23 regulates the transmission of energy 9 and 16 by controlling the switching within yard 20.
