The diagram illustrates the process of electricity generation in a Hydroelectric power station by natural resources.
Overall
, it can be seen that
this
station produces electricity with the power of
water
which is flowing by a river in three general steps.
According to
the picture, in the first stage,
water
flowing from the river is sorted behind the
dam
.
Then
, the entrance of the
dam
opened in days and the flow of
water
generated electricity. In the
last
step, the generator which is located at the station transforms the power lines to the national grid by turbines.
However
, at night, the process is reversed and the rest of the
water
which is sorted as a low-level reservoir is pumped back the whole route to the
dam
to increase the level of sorted
water
again. And the entrance of the
dam
becomes closed at night.
Then
,
this
loop will be started again the next day.
