Question

write the energy conserved that take place in hydro power plant

Answer 1

mechanical energy to electrical energy

Answer 2

Hydroelectric power plants are the systems which generate electricity following the law of conservation of energy and the gravitational law. They are composed basically of a water reservoir, turbines, electric motor or generator, rotors and stators and channeling pipes. The mechanism of hydroelectric power plants follows the transference of kinetic energy of flowing water to mechanical energy of the blades when the water strikes with them forcefully.

The movement of the blades is transferred to a generator which builds up a strong electric field thus producing electricity by the flow of electrons. This electricity is then transferred to the consumers via channeled vessels. The amount of electricity produced depends upon the difference in the heights of water called ‘head’ and the volume of water flowing.
