Hydroelectric power is beautifully simple: P = ρ·g·Q·H·η, the weight of water falling per second times the height it drops, times turbine efficiency. High-head mountain schemes need little water; low-head river plants need enormous flow. It is the most efficient and dispatchable of the major renewables.

About this simulation
The full Hydroelectric Power tool models an LCOE estimate with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
