This diagram below shows how electricity is generated in a hydroelectric power station. Summaries the information by selectiong and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

This

diagram illustrates the

way

of producing electricity in a power station working with the energy of

water

.

Overall

,

this

process consists of various stages and requires a long pathway that can be done in 24 hours per day. It starts with the flow of

water

coming from the river to eventually finds its

way

through the power lines.

Firstly

, the

water

from the river joins the high-level reservoir which is blocked by a dam in front of it,

however

,

this

pathway opens during the day and makes an easy path for the flow of

water

to find its

way

through the reversible turbines. These turbines,

furthermore

, operate the generator in the station to the power lines.

On the other hand

, the low-level reservoir is open at night times, allowing the flow of

water

to be pumped into the high-level one by the turbines located on the

way

.

This

pumping motion,

moreover

, allows the

water

to move in the opposite direction

besides

the direction in the daylight.
