Electric Power Generation - Hydro Power Plant

 



A hydro power station generates electricity by using flowing or falling water to spin a giant wheel (turbine), which powers a generator. Water stored behind a dam flows down a pipe, forcing the turbine to turn, turning mechanical energy into electricity that is sent to the power grid. 

 Working. Process:

Dam/Reservoir: Stores water, creating potential energy through height.

Penstock: A large pipe that carries water down to the station.

Turbine: Water turns the blades, transforming movement into mechanical energy.

Generator: Connected to the turbine, converting the spinning energy into electricity. 

This method is renewable, clean, and flexible to meet electricity demands.
