The diagram below shows how electricity is generated in a hydorelectric power

station.

The diagram depicts the process in which electricity is produced in a hydroelectric power plant.

Overall, it is clear that the process is broadly distributed into day and night stages involving electricity
production from a river and storage of water in a reservoir. At night, the water flows back in the
opposite direction towards an initial reservoir and the river.

The day stage of the process involves chanelling the river water into high-level reservoir. Once the
intake area opens, the water flows down to the power station to generate electricity. At this point
the reversible turbines operate, so the water runs into two ways. The generated electricity leads to
the national grid through power lines, while the excess water runs to a low-level reservoir.

During the night stage, the stored water in low-level reservoir is reverted to the power station again.
At the following step, the reversible turbines pump water into the upper reservoir, it is then backed
up in the intake area during the closed time. Then it also flows down, starting the cycle again.
