Task 1 Question
The diagram shows how electricity is generated by a hydroelectric dam.
Write a 150-word report for a university lecturer explaining how the
process works.
Model Answer
The diagram illustrates the basic principles of hydroelectric power. The process
requires the construction of a large dam connected to a powerhouse. The dam
creates a large reservoir and the powerhouse is where the electricity is generated.
First of all, water trapped in the reservoir behind the dam is forced through an
intake. It then flows into a narrow chamber called a penstock, where the resulting
high pressure turns a turbine. The turbine is connected to a generator in the
powerhouse above, and this is where the movement of the turbine is converted into
electricity. The resulting electricity leaves the powerhouse via cables that carry it
over long distances to where it can be used.
It is interesting to note that a hydroelectric dam creates no harmful byproducts and
relies entirely on natural forces to produce electricity. After the turbine stage, water
flows out through a second channel and into a river. The process is renewable,
thanks to the water cycle in nature.
