HYDEL POWER PLANT

HYDRO POWER GENERATION

INTRODUCTION

The potential energy of falling water captured and converted to

mechanical energy by water wheels and in turn to electrical energy.

Wherever sufficient head or change in elevation could be found

rivers and streams were dammed and mills were built.

Water under pressure flows through a turbine causing it to spin.

The turbine is connected to a generator which produces electricity
