How do Generators Support Hydroelectric Power Systems?

Although alternative energy sources such as wind, hydro, and solar provide effective green solutions, they sometimes require the use of generators to supplement energy.

Today, as the world becomes increasingly aware of the need to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, alternative forms of energy have become increasingly common. These alternative energy sources typically involve utilizing environmental factors such as wind, tidal, and solar energy to create electricity supply for households and businesses. However, the environment may be unreliable, and some advocate a dual approach, including the use of green energy and generators. So, how did this energy alliance actually proceed?

How generators support hydroelectric power generation systems

Some countries heavily rely on hydroelectric power, which comes from hydroelectric power plants located next to large water bodies such as reservoirs. However, if the long-term rainfall is unexpectedly low, the rate of resource depletion in reservoirs may be faster than predicted by energy experts. In this case, the generator can serve as a backup to compensate for the insufficient power supply. Similarly, if the electricity demand exceeds the amount of electricity that a hydroelectric power plant can provide, then a generator can be rented to generate additional capacity until the power plant can be upgraded.

For example, Sri Lanka is a country that uses generators to support hydroelectric power generation. After several years of lower than expected rainfall, the supply of hydroelectric power is decreasing. In order to save resources, the government is forced to provide quantitative power supply and implement regular power outages. However, industrial generators are rented and installed in some major commercial cities, thereby increasing the electricity consumption of households and businesses. Basically, generators provide an effective short-term solution to meet excess electricity demand until the reservoir supply of hydroelectric generators is established and a long-term solution is in place.

Other alternative energy sources and generator power

Renting electricity, gas, or diesel generators can also serve as a temporary solution to the insufficient energy supply of green generators. For example, if the wind speed is insufficient to generate enough electricity for a long period of time, wind energy may be particularly unreliable. In addition, if the solar energy storage during the day is low, houses that rely on solar roof panels for heating and water supply may also need to install generators to supplement the electricity demand during dark days or at night.
