why is hydel power considered a conventional resource?
Hydro power is generated by using electricity generators to extract energy from moving water. It is considered as a conventional resource of energy and today, rivers and streams are re-directed through hydro generators to produce energy. As hydro power is a flexible source of electricity since hydro generators and plants can very quickly to adapt to changing energy demands. Another major advantage of hydroelectricity is elimination of the cost of fuel. The cost of operating a hydroelectric plant is comparatively very low.
Today hydroelectric projects supply electricity to majority of public networks, and industrial projects and enterprises. The hydroelectric dams do not burn fossil fuels, so they are much safer for the planet.
