Hydro Power Energy

Flowing water creates energy that can be captured and turned into electricity. This is called hydroelectric power or hydropower. The most common type of hydroelectric power plant uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity.

The power is sent from a power grid into the electric generators. The generators then spin the turbines backward, which causes the turbines to pump water from a river or lower reservoir to an upper reservoir, where the power is stored. To use the power, the water is released from the upper reservoir back down into the river or lower reservoir. This spins the turbines forward, activating the generators to produce electricity.

IMPORTANCE

Hydropower is fuelled by water, so it’s a clean fuel source, meaning it won’t pollute the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas. Hydroelectric power is a domestic source of energy, allowing each state to produce their own energy without being reliant on international fuel sources.

The energy generated through hydropower relies on the water cycle, which is driven by the sun, making it a renewable power source, making it a more reliable and affordable source than fossil fuels that are rapidly being depleted. Most of waterpower installations are required to provide some public access to the reservoir to allow the public to take advantage of these opportunities.

WHAT WE DO FOR HYDRO POWER ENERGY

Hydro Power Electricity plants contain many water lines for turbine systems and are consisted of huge constructions for gathering and keeping the water. Ayvaz produces metal expansion joints for piping infrastructure in order to provide required security against seismic motions and constructional settlements.

We also manufacture and provide vibration absorbers Bellows for Turbine and pump connections. Ayvaz Vibration absorbers are finished with double ply bellows with made from stainless steel. This delivers maximum performance regarding, high pressure and temperature capacity, noise and vibration absorption and overall cyclic service life.
