The diagram illustrates different steps of how the production of electricity is carried out in a hydroelectric power station.

It is clear that

there are several main stages in

process, beginning with water being taken from the river and ending with electricity being transferred to the national grid. As can be seen, in the first stage, water is brought from the river in the high-level reservoir via a dam's intake which is opened during the day and closed at night. In the daytime, it is controlled to flow directly to the reversible turbines located in the station in order to operate the generator .
