Hydrokinetic Turbines
Hydrokinetic turbines generate electricity by capturing the energy of moving water, such as rivers, currents, or tides, without needing dams. These turbines are placed directly in flowing water, where the water's movement turns blades connected to a generator. This process converts the kinetic energy of the water into electrical power. Hydrokinetic turbines are environmentally friendly options for renewable energy; they can operate in free-flowing water bodies and have minimal impact on ecosystems. They offer a reliable, consistent source of clean energy, especially in regions with strong water currents.
