The diagram below shows how electricity is generated in a hydroelectric power station. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The given diagram illustrates the process by which electricity is produced in a hydroelectric power station.
Overall
, it is evident that the process involved water
flowing from a high-level reservoir
to a low-level one, through reversible turbines
which operate differently during the day and night.
During the day, the first step takes place when water
flows from a river to a high-level reservoir
. Subsequently
, it passes an intake valve which is open, flowing down to reversible turbines
. After driving the turbines
, electricity is generated and then
transmitted to the national grid via power lines. The water
then
continues its flow into the low-level reservoir
.
Conversely
, at night the process is completely reversed. Whilst the intake valve is closed, water
is pumped from the low-level reservoir
back up by the reversible turbines
, reaching the high-level reservoir
once again. This
procedure ensures the storage of water
for the following day's consumption. Consequently
, the circular operation ensures constant electricity generation by harnessing a natural resource.Submitted by bita.rezaei7052 on
