ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS
Hydroelectric Power Model
Objectives:
Describe and introduce the topic
Cite the basic parts of the hydroelectric power model and its function; and
Clip the step-by-step process or how does the model work
A hydroelectric power station converts the kinetic energy of flowing or falling water into
electrical energy that can be used in homes and businesses. Hydroelectric power can be generated
on a small scale with a ‘run-of-river’ installation, which uses naturally flowing river water to turn
one or more turbines, or on a large scale with a hydroelectric dam.
Like other forms of electricity generation, hydropower uses a turbine to help generate
electricity; using the energy of falling or flowing water to turn the blades. The rotating blades spin
a generator that converts the mechanical energy of the spinning turbine into electrical energy. The
amount of electricity generated from each power plant depends on the quantity of the flowing water
and the height from which it falls.
