		<description><![CDATA[There are hydro turbines to solve the variable flow problem, but that is not the same situation as variable speed. The two parameters are related, since an increase in pressure will cause and increase in water turbine shaft speed that in turn will cause a proportinate increase in turbine water flow rate. The problem is that variations in turbine RPM will cause generator output frequency to vary too.
