Hydro Electric Energy

A hydroelectric system typically involves a dam that is built on a river or other body of water. The dam creates a reservoir of water behind it, which can be released through a set of gates or turbines. The water is then channeled through a series of pipes or pen-stocks, which feed the water to a turbine. The turbine is connected to a generator, which uses the spinning motion of the turbine to generate electricity.

After passing through the turbine, the water is released back into the river downstream of the dam. This process can be repeated as many times as needed to generate the desired amount of electricity.

The diagram of a hydroelectric system typically shows the dam, the reservoir, the intake structure, the pen-stocks, the turbine, the generator, and the transmission lines that carry the electricity to where it's needed. If you search for "hydroelectric system diagram" online, you should be able to find some examples that illustrate this process in more detail.
