write the principle involved in hydroelectric power plant explain the process of generating electricity through it also describe any three equal logical problems created due to the functioning of hydro power plant.
Answers
Answer:
The working principle of the hydroelectric power plant is that it converts the potential energy (due to the elevation of water from the channel) and the kinetic energy (due to fast-flowing water) of the water into mechanical energy with the help of turbines.
Answer:
principle involved
Explanation:
In order to produce hydroelectricity, high rise dams are constructed on the river to obstruct the flow of water and thereby collect water in very large reservoirs. The water from a high level in the dam is carried through pipes, to the turbine, at the bottom of the dam. The turbines are connected to the generator. The rotation of the turbines makes the generator produce electricity. Water when stored at a height in the dam has a large amount of potential energy which gets converted into the kinetic energy of flowing water when it is allowed to fall on the turbines it gets converted into mechanical energy of the turbine and finally gets converted into the electric energy by the generator
