Integration into electrical networks
Benefits for power grids
Predictable and stable energy ➔ Facilitates network management, Reduction of transmission losses ➔ Generation close to consumption, Easy integration ➔ The electricity generated is compatible with standard electrical systems, Lower environmental impact ➔ Less disruption to the ecosystem than a traditional dam.- They can be incorporated into the national electricity grid as base energy.
- Hydrokinetic turbine modules are installed near communities or industries.
- The energy produced is injected directly into local grids or microgrids, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
