Some of the potential differences between the different types of hydro energy setups might be: – Use Of Storage Areas & Reservoirs. Hydroelectric dams use a reservoir, and pumped storage hydro uses two reservoirs. Run of river doesn''t typically use a reservoir, but, may sometimes use pondage. – Use Of Dams, & Use Of Rivers & Streams.
Hydropower systems. There are four main types of hydropower projects. These technologies can often overlap. For example, storage projects can often involve an element of pumping to supplement the water that flows into the reservoir naturally, and run-of-river projects may provide some storage capability. Run-of-river hydropower: a facility that ...
