Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. 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.
Limitation of abundant potential water sources availability is expected to hinder global hydropower market. Hydropower plant requires huge initial investment which may hamper the market growth. However, long run operating cost is lower than other conventional source based plants owing to approximately zero raw material cost which is free water.
