Hydroelectric power is the most widely used renewable energy resource in the world, comprising as much as 25 percent of total global electricity. Hydroelectricity is inexpensive to produce, adapts quickly to fluctuating demands for power and does not pollute the environment. Despite its advantages, hydroelectric power presents unique challenges when it comes to monitoring the flow of water through a hydropower plant—an important step in ensuring safe and efficient plant operation. Clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement technology can handle the large pipe sizes and high flow velocities typically found in hydroelectricity applications.
