Abstract

If the surrounding environment supports it, a dam could offer the opportunity to generate hydroelectricity.

Critical information for selecting a hydropower dam site includes hydrologic and hydraulic characteristics, the structural layout of the dam, and streamflow ranges.

If there isn’t a local power user (likely the utility itself), then a grid interconnection may be needed, which increases costs.

Credits and grants can help offset the costs of implementing hydropower.

供水大坝的水力发电

如果周围环境支持，大坝可以提供产生水力发电的机会。选择水电站坝址的关键信息包括水文和水力特征、大坝的结构布局和流量范围。如果当地没有电力用户（可能是公用事业本身），那么可能需要电网互连，这增加了成本。信贷和赠款可以帮助抵消实施水力发电的成本。
