The diagram illustrates the process of electricity generation in a hydroelectric power station.
Overall, the process consist of several stages beginning with keeping the river water in the reservoir, and ending with energy generation in the power station.
At the beginning, the water coming from river is preserved in the reservoir, which is located in a higher altitude compared to the power station. Then, the preserved water is transferred towards the generator by a tube. While the intake sending the water from reservoir to the tube is open for day long, it is closed in the night.
Pipe supplies the water to the power station, which has reversible turbines that operate generator in the day, while they pump water from low-level reservoir to high-level reservoir in the night. Turbines transfer the water by sending it to the pipe in the nights. Following the generation, the generator uses power lines to supply electricity to national grid by transffering the generated energy.
