Hello, friends! Today, we will discover about hydro plant turbines. The electricity we get when water flows such as rivers, is done by this special things. Let's find out how they work!
Just as wind turbines turning wind energy into electrical energy are one form of turbine, hydro dam generators are a different kind of turbine (big blunt wheels in place of fins on a turbine) that turn the power of flowing water into electricity. This renewable energy allows us to protect the environment and stay green on earth. As the turbines spin, they generate electric energy to light our homes and schools. Isn’t that cool?
Inside a hydro electric turbine generator, there are blades mounted to a rotating shaft. As water runs through the turbine, it pushes on those blades and causes them to turn. In this spinning, they generate the electricity that we consume every day. It’s kind of like a giant water wheel that is super powerful!
Turbines at hydro plants are of various shapes and sizes, depending on how much electricity we need. Some turbines are large and powerful; others small. Regardless of their size, all turbines work in the same way – they use the energy of moving water to produce clean electricity for us to use.
Hydroelectricity is generated when water flows from a dam or reservoir and passes through a turbine within a hydro plant. That water is then piped to a turbine. As the water passes through the turbine, it spins the blades to create electricity. After that, the water flows downstream, where it can be used to generate even more clean energy.
Hydro turbines play a major role in clean energy 10/8/23. By making electricity with water we can use less fossil fuel and help save the earth. It drives turbines so we can harness the Earth’s clean energy of moving water into electricity.
