What power station changes the Potential Energy of water into Electrical Energy?

A hydro station.


What is a hydro - electric power station?

A hydro-electric power station is a facility that generates electricity by using the energy of flowing water to turn turbines, which then produce electrical power. This renewable energy source harnesses the gravitational force of water to create electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions. Hydro-electric power stations can vary in size from small-scale installations to large dams and reservoirs.


How does a hydro-electric power station transform energy?

A hydro-electric power station transforms energy by capturing the kinetic energy of moving water (from a river or dam) and converting it into mechanical energy using turbines. The turbines then turn generators, which produce electricity through electromagnetic induction, where mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.
