What is needed to run the turbine of a hydroelectric power plant?

Water at pressure that is sufficient to continuously spin the turbine(s).


Can a turbine in a hydroelectric power plant makes energy?

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 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.


What is pressure shaft in a hydroelectric power plant?

A pressure shaft in a hydroelectric power plant is a conduit that conveys water from the reservoir to the turbine under high pressure. It is designed to minimize energy loss and maintain water pressure, ensuring efficient turbine operation. The shaft can be either vertical or inclined, depending on the plant's design, and is crucial for optimizing the conversion of hydraulic energy into electrical energy. Proper design and maintenance of the pressure shaft are essential for the overall efficiency and safety of the power plant.


What tools are needed to make hydroelectric power?

Normally, hydroelectric power requires a dam and a turbine. It is possible to use a water mill instead of a dam.

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


The electricity energy that is transferred in a TV comes from a power stationwhere is the energy transferred from to make the electricity in the power station?

Depends on what kind of power station it is, can bea nuclear power plant, a coal-burning power plant, a wind turbine, or a hydroelectric power station.


Why is the gas turbine called as the power plant?

A gas turbine is one type of power plant. It produces power by burning gas to turn the turbine.
