INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -At hydropower plants water flows through a pipe, or penstock, then pushes against and turns blades in a turbine to spin a generator to produce electricity.

Detailed explanation-2: -"A hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kinetic Turbine Kinetic energy turbines, also called free-flow turbines, generate electricity from the kinetic energy present in flowing water rather than the potential energy from the head.

Detailed explanation-4: -A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy. Hydroplants range in size from “micro-hydros” that power only a few homes to giant dams like Hoover Dam that provide electricity for millions of people.
