What else can I help you with?
How is a water wheel similar to a turbine in a hydroelectric power plant?
Both have blades or buckets.
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.
Hydroelectric power depends on what two things?
A hydroelectric generator requires two things to produce power; water and head. Water is obviously needed to spin the turbine, and head is the difference in altitude between the surface of the water in the reservoir above the generator and the water turbine at the generator.
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.
The hydroelectric of a what power plant is turned by moving water?
turbine power plant

How does water power convert to electrical power in a hydroelectric plant?
The water spins a turbine; the turbine spins a generator; the generator produces electricity. It is that simple.
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
What uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine?
Hydroelectric power

When was Dubrava Hydroelectric Power Plant created?
Dubrava Hydroelectric Power Plant was created in 1989.
When was Čakovec Hydroelectric Power Plant created?
Čakovec Hydroelectric Power Plant was created in 1982.

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.
