Hydropower engineers research, design and plan the building of facilities that generate electricity from the movement of water. They search optimal locations, conduct trials and try different materials to achieve the best result. Hydropower engineers develop strategies for more efficient energy production and analyse environmental consequences.

The study of electric energy, more specifically electron, control and its prominent principles regarding integrated circuits and electrical systems.
Field of information concerning the reduction of the use of energy. It encompasses calculating the consumption of energy, providing certificates and support measures, saving energy by reducing the demand, encouraging efficient use of fossil fuels, and promoting the use of renewable energy.
The technologies which allow the small-scale generation process of harvesting low carbon sources such as the sun, wind, or water flow, to produce heat or electricity. Energy micro-generation technologies are not taking place in large power plants, thus increasing their efficiency, and eliminating distribution costs.
The processes undergone by energy when changing its form from one state into the other.
The energy generated from the natural movement of water such as ocean waves, tides, currents as well as from water temperature differences as thermal energy of deep cold water. Moreover, it is harnessed as a renewable power source.
