Overview

The presentation begins by outlining the various types of turbines used to develop hydropower and covers various ways to create the head of water to drive the equipment. It then provides outline characteristics of 15 significant Malaysian Hydropower Developments. It then describes the seven other renewable energy production sources with examples of projects worldwide.

Given the daily variability of solar, wind and tidal power production, it describes several methods currently being exploited to store energy produced in periods of low consumption for later use in periods of high grid system demand. Next, statistics on world power and energy production are provided. Finally, the current Malaysian Renewable Energy Production statistics and future production targets on the pathway to climate change net-zero emissions are provided.
