Sierra Solar Systems Emergency Preparedness Providing alternative energy solutions since 1980. We specialize in solar electric, wind, hydropower, and solar hot water systems for homes, boat, RV's and wells. We are based in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of California. Shipping is available anywhere. What do you need for emergency power for when the grid power goes out? A good quality inverter/charger, such as the Trace DR or SW series, and a properly-sized bank of batteries may be all you need. Your batteries will be kept on float charge when the grid is working, and if it goes down, your loads can be automatically transferred to your inverter/battery system without missing a beat. Then, when the electric company is back on line, your loads will be automatically switched back to the grid. What to do if you are concerned with the reliability of your power supply.... Alternative energy is not for everyone. It takes an extra amount of involvement and extra investment in the short run. Call it an investment in the future. What is required is living in a more conscious fashion than the average person. It implies taking an active part in how we use and produce power. If we'd prefer to let someone else, i.e. the power company, make these energy decisions for us, so be it. Rather than feeling powerless, some of us would rather take responsibility for where our power comes from and how it is used. It's just a part of reclaiming our personal power from the powers that be. For more information on emergency preparation, please visit the following pages........

Catarafters Enjoy the Free Flowing North Fork Payette - Photo by Mark Lisk Developer Gives Up on Payette River Hydropower Project On October 18, just hours before an Idaho Department of Water Resources administrative hearing, Gem Irrigation District of Homedale, Idaho withdrew a water right application for a hydropower project on the North Fork Payette River between Smiths Ferry and Banks. The withdrawal is the final move in a struggle over hydropower development on the river that has spanned more than a decade and engaged hundreds of citizens and the state legislature. The river is one of Idaho's most famous whitewater boating spots and a scenic attraction for thousands of travelers on Idaho Highway 55 every year. The state river conservation organization Idaho Rivers United has been a vigorous opponent of hydropower development on the North Fork Payette River. Liz Paul, conservation director for Idaho Rivers United said, "I look forward to moving the North Fork Payette project to my dead hydro files and enjoying the free-flowing river with my family for years to come. This is a great event for everyone who has fought so hard for the North Fork, and it's an affirmation of our state protected river system." The application for diversion of 2,200 cubic feet per second (cfs) of water for hydropower was filed by Western Power, Inc. in 1986 and subsequently transferred to Gem Irrigation District. In 1991 dam opponents succeeded in banning new hydropower from the North Fork Payette by winning legislative designation for the North Fork Payette as a state protected river, but Gem Irrigation continued their campaign to dam the river.

Home Reservoirs Hydroplants Wisconsin River ... Hydropower Facts How Hydropower Works Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy. Hydroplants range in size from "micro-hydros" that power only a few homes to giant dams like Hoover Dam that provide electricity for millions of people. The photo on the right shows the Alexander Hydroelectric Plant on the Wisconsin River, a medium-sized plant that produces enough electricity to serve about 8,000 people. Parts of a Hydroelectric Plant Most conventional hydroelectric plants include four major components (see graphic below): Dam. Raises the water level of the river to create falling water. Also controls the flow of water. The reservoir that is formed is, in effect, stored energy. Turbine. The force of falling water pushing against the turbine's blades causes the turbine to spin. A water turbine is much like a windmill, except the energy is provided by falling water instead of wind. The turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Generator Connected to the turbine by shafts and possibly gears so when the turbine spins it causes the generator to spin also. Converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electric energy. Generators in hydropower plants work just like the generators in other types of power plants.

Both of these systems are designed to operate on a minimum head of 20 feet and 100 gallons of water flow per minute.

Yes No No Opinion Facts You Should Know About Hydropower A Clean Energy Source For Our Future A Popular Electricity Choice 9 Myths about Hydropower ... Hydro Licensing A Clean Energy Source For Our Future While recent shortages of electricity supplies have spurred calls for increased generation, no one believes that new generation should come at the expense of cleaner air. One strategy to reduce U.S. emissions while increasing generating capacity is to emphasize the development of non-carbon electricity generation alternatives like hydropower. Hydropower is an abundant, renewable, reliable, and low-cost source of power with potential for growth. Recognizing its potential, both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have proposed extending incentives to new capacity at operating hydroelectric projects. Even more capacity could be developed with little or no environmental harm to either our air or water resources by adding generation to existing non-hydroelectric dams. Unfortunately, little new investment is flowing into hydropower projects because of a high, up-front capital costs and a regulatory scheme that is excessively lengthy, costly, conflict-ridden and full of uncertainty. Without fundamental licensing reform, few, if any new emissions-free electrons will be generated by hydroelectric power.
