How is hydro electricity produced step by step explanation ​

Biology
1 answer:
timama [110]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

ydropower, electricity produced from generators driven by turbines that convert the potential energy of falling or fast-flowing water into mechanical energy

Explanation:

In the generation of hydroelectric power, water is collected or stored at a higher elevation and led downward through large pipes or tunnels (penstocks) to a lower elevation; the difference in these two elevations is known as the head. At the end of its passage down the pipes, the falling water causes turbines to rotate. The turbines in turn drive generators, which convert the turbines’ mechanical energy into electricity. Transformers are then used to convert the alternating voltage suitable for the generators to a higher voltage suitable for long-distance transmission. The structure that houses the turbines and generators, and into which the pipes or penstocks feed, is called the powerhouse.

Will earth run out of water?
Kazeer [188]

<u>While our globe may never run out of water as a whole</u>, it's crucial to realize that pure freshwater isn't always available where and when humans require it. In fact, only six countries contain half of the world's freshwater. Over a billion people do not have access to adequate safe, clean water. Water scarcity will afflict the entire planet by 2040 unless water use is significantly decreased. "If we keep doing what we're doing now, there will be no water by 2040."
