2. ❑What is hydroelectric power
•Hydroelectric power harnesses the energy of
flowing or falling water to generate electricity. It's
one of the oldest and largest sources of renewable
energy, playing a crucial role in the global energy
mix.
•The core principle is simple: water possesses
kinetic and potential energy, which can be
converted into mechanical energy by rotating a
turbine, which then drives a generator.

3. •First hydroelectric power plant built in 1882 in USA
•The largest hydroelectric power plant in India is the Tehri Hydropower
Complex, with a capacity of 2,400 MW, located in Uttarakhand.
•The Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest hydroelectric power
station, located in China with the capacity of 22,250 MW
•Tucuruidam generates 8,370 MW which is second largest hydroelectric
power station,locatedin brazil

4. ❑How hydroelectric plants work
1.Water source:hydroelectric plants are typically built near
rivers or large bodies of water.Adam is often constructed to
create a reservoir,whichstores water
2.Turbine Rotation: The force of the flowing water spins large
turbines, converting potential and kinetic energy into
mechanical energy.
3.Electricity transmission: The generated electricity is then
transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses
4.Control system:Hydroelectric plants have control system to
manage the flow of water and the operation of turbines and
generators,ensuringefficient electricity production and
maintaining safety

5. ❑Types of Hydroelectric plants
1. Impoundment Facilities
•The most common type, using a dam to store water in a reservoir. Ideal
for large-scale, consistent power generation.
2. Run-of-River Plants
•Generate electricity from the natural flow of a river, with little or no
water storage. Generally smaller and have less environmental impact.
3. Pumped-Storage Hydropower (PSH)
•Acts like a giant battery, pumping water to an upper reservoir during low
demand and releasing it to generate power during peak demand.
