The diagram illustrates the
process
of a hydroelectric power station producing and storing Use synonyms
electricity
during the day and night.
Use synonyms
Overall
, during the day, the power produced in Linking Words
this
Linking Words
process
mainly comes from the flow of Use synonyms
water
from a high-level Use synonyms
reservoir
to a low-level one Use synonyms
while
at night, the Linking Words
water
is pumped back into the high-level Use synonyms
reservoir
to regenerate Use synonyms
electricity
the next day.
In the daytime, the Use synonyms
water
from the river accumulates in the high-level Use synonyms
reservoir
which holds large amounts of Use synonyms
water
before approaching the opening dam. In the meantime, some of the Use synonyms
water
flows down before reaching reversible turbines connected to an operating generator which produces Use synonyms
electricity
and Use synonyms
then
delivers Linking Words
electricity
produced in Use synonyms
this
Linking Words
process
to the national grid via power lines. Afterwards, the Use synonyms
water
is delivered into the low-level Use synonyms
reservoir
.
At night, the reversible turbines driven by the generator will pump Use synonyms
water
from the low-level Use synonyms
reservoir
back to the high-level one, which is the opposite Use synonyms
process
from the daytime. The Use synonyms
water
pumped up will be stored in the upper Use synonyms
reservoir
and can be utilized to generate Use synonyms
electricity
again the next morning.Use synonyms
