hydraulic power station

A hydraulic power plant is a huge and massive machine that transforms flowing water into electric energy. Such a power station is located on the bank of a river or waterfall with large water mass flowing. It captures the water from the river or waterfall and puts it to work, spinning a large wheel called a turbine. As the turbine moves, it generates energy. Then we can convert that energy into electricity, which powers our homes, schools and businesses so we can light up lights or our computers – just about anything.

How does a hydraulic power station work? A closer look at the mechanics of power generation.

A hydraulic power unit is a unit made up of various components that work together to generate hydraulic energy. The first part is known as the dam anyway. It is a barrier built across an river to impound or obstruct water. This builds up a huge amount of water behind the dam wall. The water is then discharged into a channel or tunnel that takes it to the power station. This is where the water flows past to turn the turbine - an important form of energy. The turbine is specifically created to rotate rapidly when the water moves over it. The turbine links to a device known as a generator. The rotor spins and moves the generator, turning that motion into electricity. And lastly, this electricity is transported through power lines to our home and places of business, where we can utilize it in countless ways.
