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

Answer»

Solution :a. In a hydroelectric power plant , water RESERVOIR is used as the source of energy.
b. CONVERSION of potential energyt from water to KINETIC energy:The potential energy in water stored in a water reservoir like a dam is converted to kinetic energy of water by making it flow to the bottom of the dam.
c. Conversion of kinetic energy in water to kinetic energy in turbine:FAST flowing water is brought from the dam to the turbine at the bottom of the dam. The kinetic energy of the flowing water drives the turbine.
d.Conversion of kinetic energy in turbine toelectrical energy:The turbine rotates the generator connected to it which in TURN produces electrical energy.
