It begins with water behind a dam.
Water behind a dam is stagnant and thus has potential energy.
When the water is allowed to flow through the opening of a dam it gains kinetic energy.
The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
As the water flows through the turbines, the kinetic energy is converted to Mechanical energy.
Due to the turning of the turbines, the mechanical energy is converted to electric energy and hence electricity is generated.
The energy conversion flow is shown below.
Potential energy — Kinetic energy — Mechanical energy — Electric energy.
