Hello mate
Explanation:
The most common type of hydroelectric power plant uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a Penstock to the turbine and spin it. This spins the turbines forward, activating the generators to produce electricity.

Generating methods
Most hydroelectric power comes from the potential energy of dammed water driving a water turbine and generator. The power extracted from the water depends on the volume and on the difference in height between the source and the water's outflow. This height difference is called the head.
