One way to store energy from a water turbine is to use a system of batteries to store the electricity generated. Another approach is to convert the energy into potential energy by pumping water uphill to a higher reservoir, which can later be released to drive the turbine and generate electricity when needed. Additionally, excess energy can be converted into other forms such as compressed air or hydrogen for storage.
The principal energy transfer as water flows through the turbine is from the potential energy of the water at a higher elevation in the upper basin to mechanical energy as the turbine spins. The spinning turbine then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy through a generator.
A hydroelectric turbine is used to convert the energy of moving water into electrical energy. This turbine is connected to a generator that produces electricity as the water flows through the turbine.
A water turbine is a machine that is typically connected to a generator to convert the energy from flowing water into electrical energy. The water flow causes the turbine to spin, which then drives the generator to produce electricity.
The energy stored in water at the reservoir is gravitational potential energy due to its height above the turbine. As the water flows through the penstock and turbine, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and then ultimately into mechanical energy to turn the turbine and generate electricity. So, the type of energy changes as the water moves through the components of a hydropower system.
The water in a reservoir or lake, at a higher level than the water turbine, has potential energy. When released to flow down to the turbine it gains kinetic energy due to the movement of mass, then this is turned to mechanical energy in the turbine and finally to electrical energy in the generator
You cannot store power any more than you can store velocity, because it is simply a 'rate' -the rate of doing work. In order to do work you can store potential energy in, for example, the form of water held behind a dam. When the water is allowed to pass through a turbine, that turbine does work by converting this energy into electrical 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.
with a wind turbine.
In a turbine, mechanical energy from the moving fluid (such as steam or water) is converted into rotational kinetic energy of the turbine blades. This rotational kinetic energy is then converted into electrical energy as the turbine drives a generator to produce electricity.
Hydroelectric energy is created by water powering a turbine.
A turbine spins due to a flow of fluid, usually steam or water, passing through it. The fluid's kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy that spins the turbine. It is not the turbine itself that provides energy, but rather the fluid flowing through it.
A water turbine produces energy by transferring the energy from flowing or falling water using a generator. A generator uses copper coils and magnets to create energy. The magnetic field produced from the magnets need to cross over the copper coils which excite the particles in the coils to produce and cause the electricity to flow, making electricity from water.
