Construction & Working of Hydroelectric Power Plant:

Following are some of the main components of the hydroelectric power plant


Reservoir: water harvested from the catchment area is stored in the reservoir which is then used to generate the electricity.Dam: it is made in the path of the river to make the reservoir to hold the rain water.Spillways: Spillways are made to make the dam safe. When level of water is exceeds some defined point, it will discharge through these spillways.Forebay: when there is sudden change in the turbine load, in such cases there is need of temporary storage of water. This temporary storage of water near turbine is called as forebay.Surge tank: surge tank is build in between dam and the valve house. It is used to take care of the system load fluctuations.Penstock: it is water pipeline carrying water from dam to turbine.Prime mover or turbine: it is the main part of the power station. It is coupled with the generator. Turbine is rotated by the flow of water. As it is coupled with the generator, generator also rotates which produces electricity.Powerhouse: it consists of turbine, alternator and electrical equipment.Tail races: outlet water of the turbine is discharged to the river trough tail races.Selection of site:

Following are some of the factors that should be considered for Hydropower Power Plant while selecting a site.

Availability of waterLocation of the damHead of waterStorage of waterTransport facilitiesDistance from the load centre

jaf1: it's too big can you make it short. please......
jaf1: please fast
jaf1: please fast friend
AnuragJassal: okk
jaf1: please
AnuragJassal: Please brother read it. It is complete full concept about it.
jaf1: OK thank u.i will read it
AnuragJassal: okk brother

"A hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity. The rotor is attached to the turbine shaft, and rotates at a fixed speed. When the rotor turns, it causes the field poles (the electromagnets) to move past the conductors mounted in the stator. This, in turn, causes electricity to flow and a voltage to develop at the generator output terminals."
