Explain with diagram step-by-step energy conversion in:
Hydroelectric power plant :

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


In hydroelectric plant, the water stored in the reservoir is used as a source of potential energy. This water is made to fall at a great speed and hence there is production of kinetic energy in flowing water. This fast flowing water falling down from the reservoir is brought to the turbine at the lower levels. The kinetic energy of the flowing water in turn drives the turbine. The turbine then drives the generator and electrical energy is produced.
