The hydrodynamic power is the result of the transformation of the potential energy of water, that is, a column or height difference of water that moves a primary machine that generates mechanical energy. The mechanical energy later is transformed in electricity, thanks to the use of a generator.
Main components of the hydroelectric plants
A large dam to store water, provide a constant flow of water and accumulate potential energy in the form of hydraulic load. A large capacity of the dam gives reliability to the hydroelectric plant with a guarantee of a constant flow of water to the turbines. An abduction which is a ...
