Hydropower plants are actually based on a rather simple concept -- water flowing through a dam turns a turbine, which turns a generator. A hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity. So ... Read More
