Hydro power electricity generation

Hydroelectricity like the hydro dam generator is a form of power that derives from water. And unlike fossil fuels, it’s a renewable energy source, so it won’t be used up. The hydroelectric power is important as it can lower the air pollution, and can be used to generate power for a large number of houses and buildings. In this lesson we will understand how hydro power plants work the pros of hydroelectric power its impact on the environment and new concept in the production of energy and hydroelectricity is a result of using the energy produced by moving water. This power comes from rivers or lakes with lots of water moving through them. Water is sent from the reservoir through pipes and a turbine. It generates electricity as it turns. That electricity is then transmitted to homes and businesses over power lines.

How hydro power plants work

Hydro power plants use flowing water’s energy to turn a turbine and produce electricity with the hydro electric turbine generator. The water is accumulated in a reservoir which is formed behind a dam. The dam is a wall that blocks the water. When water is released from the reservoir it travels down by way of pipes called penstocks. The pressure of the water makes a turbine spin which is kind of like a very big wheel.
