A hydroelectric power plant that uses water flow as it comes in the river, with little or no storage to allow for modifications in demand of water flow.  8, record 1, English, - run%2Dof%2Dthe%2Driver%20hydroelectric%20plant

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Run-of-river power stations use the natural flow of river water to drive turbines. Although the head of water between the upstream and downstream sides is modest compared to storage power stations, the volume of water available is usually greater. Run-of-river power stations operate continuously. They meet basic electricity needs by supplying the steady underlying demand. The amount of electricity produced depends on the river’s flow; they are generally more productive in summer than in winter.  9, record 1, English, - run%2Dof%2Dthe%2Driver%20hydroelectric%20plant

Between 1998 and 1999, a unique and innovative hydroelectric project was implemented through a partnership with a First Nations community. A run-of-the river hydroelectric plant, which uses the natural course of the river rather than requiring the construction of dams, was installed in the community of Deer Lake.  1, record 1, English, - run%2Dof%2Dthe%2Driver%20hydroelectric%20plant

Entre 1998 et 1999, l'entreprise a mis en œuvre un projet hydroélectrique unique et innovateur en partenariat avec une collectivité des Premières nations. Elle a construit, dans la collectivité de Deer Lake, une centrale hydroélectrique au fil de l'eau, qui utilise le tracé naturel de la rivière plutôt que de recourir à la construction de barrages.  8, record 1, French, - centrale%20au%20fil%20de%20l%27eau

Peu d'eau et une chute importante pour la centrale à accumulation, beaucoup d'eau et une faible chute pour les ouvrages au fil de l'eau. Telles peuvent être résumées les principales caractéristiques des deux plus importants types de production d'énergie hydroélectrique. Les ouvrages au fil de l'eau. Les centrales sont situées sur une rivière et n'ont pas de réservoir. Elles s'adaptent donc au débit naturel du cours d'eau. Les ouvrages fournissent une énergie «en ruban», c'est-à-dire une énergie continue mais dépendante du débit. Les ouvrages à accumulation. Ces centrales utilisent l'eau stockée par les barrages dans les lacs naturels ou artificiels. La chute d'eau, totalement contrôlée, actionne les turbines pour produire de l'électricité. En l'espace de quelques minutes, la centrale peut ainsi produire sa pleine puissance.  9, record 1, French, - centrale%20au%20fil%20de%20l%27eau

Energy derived ultimately from the sun.  2, record 2, English, - solar%20energy

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Most energy sources on Earth are forms of indirect solar energy, although we usually don’t think of them in that way. Coal, oil and natural gas derive from ancient biological material which took its energy from the sun(via plant photosynthesis) millions of years ago. All the energy in wood and foodstuffs also comes from the sun. Movement of the wind(which causes waves at sea), and the evaporation of water to form rainfall which accumulates in rivers and lakes, are also powered by the sun. Therefore, hydroelectric power and wind and wave power are forms of indirect solar energy. Direct solar energy is what we usually mean when we speak of solar power-it is the use of sunlight for heating or generating electricity.  2, record 2, English, - solar%20energy
