Hydropower Plants and their Process of Electricity Production

Hydroelectric energy is a clean source of energy for the entire planet. Water movement (usually gravitational) generates energy. Hydropower Plants employ the force of moving water to generate energy that can be used for a variety of purposes. Watermills are one of the oldest and commonest applications that can be seen in many regions. Hydropower, in modern technology, drives turbines that transfer energy to a generator, which generates electricity. Hydropower is a kind of renewable energy that creates little to no waste after the power station is built. Hydropower generates more electricity than any other renewable energy source on a global scale. The development of hydropower is projected to bring considerable benefits in terms of increasing economic growth while also decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. This study focused on various types of hydro power plants, electrical power transmission, hydro power plant and its components, as well as their influence on the environment and society. Hydro power plants have a wide range of applications in future with plans to minimize pollution and deliver clean and green energy at a low cost.
