The drawing describes how hydroelectricity is produced. This process recquires the construction of big dam which is linked to the powerhouse.Reservoir is created by the dam and the powerhouse is the place where electricity is normally generated.
In the first process , water that originate from the reservoir is forced to went through the intake . It flows into a narrow chamber which is called the Penstock which is the result of high pressure by turbine . Afterwards , the turbine is connected to a generator in the power house and this is where the movement of the turbine is converted into electricity. The result of the produced electricity leaves the powerhouse through cables than be carried over long distances to places it can function.
This brings a fascinating feeling that hydroelectric dam creates no harmful byproducts and relies entirely on natural forces to produce electricity. After the turbine stage, water flows out through a second channel and into a river. The process is renewable, thanks to the water cycle in nature.
