Submersible turbines are used in hydroelectric power stations to generate electricity from falling water. They are used in tidal power schemes like on the Rance near Dieppe France.

They are also reversible in pumped storage schemes where water is pumped back up to the supply dam when electricity demand is low. This is used in the UK at the Dinorwig scheme. This supplies huge amounts of energy at a moments notice when the British get up to make a cup of tea when the TV ads come on.

Importance of a submersible pump?

Submersible pumps can be applied to many distinct applications, from pumping large solids or grinding solids to smaller sizes, to transferring waste water at large flow rates or high pressures, to simply pumping up water off the floor or the bottom of a tank; depending upon submersible pump design. Some of the more common submersible pumps designed for specific applications include water submersible pumps, sewage submersible pumps, 12 volt submersible pumps, sand submersible pumps, irrigation submersible pumps, and solar submersible pumps. Solar submersible pumps, while not specific to an application, are best used for slow and steady water transference into a holding tank, but may also be used for direct pressurization applications.... that's my answer... shreya :)

Are all turbines powered by steam?

No, there are gas turbines powered by hot gas formed by the burning of kerosene (in aircraft engines) or by natural gas combustion for electrical generation. Gas turbines are also used in some naval ships. Then there are water turbines as used in hydro power. Also, wind can drive turbines.
