Hydraulic and Geothermic Energies?No-limits energy production for the future?? Hydraulic and Geothermic Energies are some of today main objectives for an eco-compatible energy development. Hydraulic Energy Energy is created by the water-cycle induced by solar radiation. Hydroelectric power plants make use of the potential energy of: a) water stored in large basins (natural or dam-contained) b) water flowing downstream between two different levels. ? Hydraulic Plants are classified according to: Elevation difference (water jump, H in m) Water Flow amount (Q in m?/s) System type (Usually installation using large flows and lower jumps are ?running water? type; those using limited water flows and medium or high jumps are ?reservoir? and ?pumping? types)
