CLANAE 35.113—Hydropower generation

Where 35.113 sits

1. D Supply of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning
2. 35 Supply of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning
3. 35.1 Generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy
4. 35.11 Electric power generation
5. 35.113 Hydropower generation

What 35.113 includes

• Hydropower is defined as the energy that uses the mechanical energy of water to drive the machinery through which electrical energy is produced. Storage hydropower plants primarily use the potential energy produced by falling water. Run-of-river hydropower plants primarily use the kinetic energy of flowing water. Pump-storage hydropower plants use the energy of falling water contained in a reservoir at certain times, while at other times energy production is carried out using pumps.

What 35.113 excludes

• The generation of electrical energy by means of tidal energy (subclass 35.119).
