Well, no. A turbine does not MAKE energy. It changes one form of energy to another. A Pelton turbine in a hydroelectric plant changes the weight and force of falling water to rotary mechanical energy, which is used to turn a generator. That changes mechanical energy to electrical energy. But none of that MAKES energy.
What else can I help you with?
What is needed to run the turbine of a hydroelectric power plant?
Water at pressure that is sufficient to continuously spin the turbine(s).
How is a water wheel similar to a turbine in a hydroelectric power plant?
Both have blades or buckets.
In a hydroelectric plant the mechanical energy in moving water is transformed into?
Into electrical energy.
How is hydroelectric energy converted to electricity?
in an hydrolectric plant there are turbines in the bottom then the water is made to fall from a great height which causes the turbine to rotate and producing electricity in same way as done in rotating dynamo
What are the differences between a coal power plant and a hydroelectric power plant?
Coal is used in furnaces to heat water in a boiler to superheated (above 100 degrees Celsius) temperatures, and this steam is used to drive a turbine which, in turn, drives an alternator. A hydroelectric plant uses the vertical fall of water to drive a water turbine which drives an alternator.
When a hydropower plant uses the falling water to turn a turbine they are creating what type of energy?
The falling water turning the turbine in a hydropower plant generates mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy as the turbine spins the generator.
The hydroelectric of a what power plant is turned by moving water?
turbine power plant
What energy source does hydroelectric plant use to generate electricity?
Water is used to tun a turbine. It is used instead of using fossil fuels to burn water to turn a turbine.
What energy transfers take place in a hydroelectric power plant?
In a hydroelectric power plant, the potential energy of water stored in a reservoir is converted into kinetic energy as the water flows downhill. The kinetic energy of the flowing water rotates the turbine, which then drives the generator to produce electrical energy. Ultimately, the energy is transferred from mechanical energy to electrical energy.
What is needed to run the turbine of a hydroelectric power plant?
Water at pressure that is sufficient to continuously spin the turbine(s).
How does hydroelectric power plant converts to electrial energy?
A hydroelectric power plant makes energy by spinning turbines that turn generators to create energy.water is taken in from lake thrue pipesthe pipes then carry the water to the turbinesThe turbines spin turning a generatorthe generator generates electricity sending it into power linesthe power lines carry the power to the power plantthe power plant sends the power to your home
How does a hydroelectric plant produce energy?
A hydroelectric power plant converts the kinetic energy of falling water to a rotating energy with a turbine and then using the turbine to turn a generator. A hydro plant dam can be a few feet tall or a couple of hundred feet tall. The taller they are, and the more water that passes through them, the more power they generate. Hoover dam is 726 feet tall. Some of the Low head hydros in Michigan are only 15 or 20 feet tall.The water flows through a turbine at a dam, producing water energy.
What is the energy released from a nuclear power plant?
Electric. The nuclear energy produces heat, heat boils water, steam drives turbine, turbine makes electircity.
How many type of power plant?
Atomic Energy plant, Oil fired plant, Gas fired plant, Coal fired Plant, Gas Turbine plant, Hydroelectric plant, Wave power, Wind power, Solar panel type
How is a water wheel similar to a turbine in a hydroelectric power plant?
Both have blades or buckets.
What energy transformation in hydroelectric power plant?
Potential energy of the water in the reservoir changes to kinetic energy as it is forced through the turbine. The blades of turbine represent mechanical energy, spinning the turbine generator which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy due to the nature of the generator.Generators use electromagnetic induction turbines, which at its basic level is rotating a wire within a magnetic field, this generating electricity.Source(s):Engineering geologist
What industries rely on hydroelectric energy?
Since hydroelectric energy supplies electricity, any industry that uses electricity from a hydroelectric plant relies on this energy.
