Hydroelectric Power Run-of-the-River Systems Explained
Understanding Run-of-the-River Hydroelectric Power Run-of-the-river (ROR) hydroelectricity is a unique power generation method. This system uses little or no water storage. Traditional hydro projects rely on large reservoirs. ROR plants usually only use limited storage, which they call pondage. A plant without pondage relies fully on seasonal river flows. Therefore, it acts as an intermittent…
