State is Beneficial state of power plant

The following are the major advantages of hydro-electric power station, namely.

1.     Water is the cheapest and reliable source of generation of electric power because it exists as a free gift from nature.

2.     It is free from pollution because no smoke and ash are produced in this plant.

3.     No fuel transportation problems.

4.     Its maintenance cost is low.

5.     These plants can be started quickly and can be brought up into function within few minutes

6.     These plants has no stand by losses.

7.     It requires less supervising staff.

8.     Running cost of the plant is low

9.     The stored water not only used power generation but also used for irrigation and flood control.

10. Hydro station are able to respond to rapidly changing loads without loss of efficiency.

11. The efficiency  of the plant does not changes with age, where as there is considerable reduction in efficiency of thermal as well as nuclear power plant with age

12. Auxiliaries needed in the plant are less as compared to steam plant of equal size.

13. The cost per unit generator is low as compared to thermal (or) nuclear energy.
