Pumped Storage Power Station (Francis Turbine)

Introduction. Pumped storage power plants are a type of hydroelectric power plant; they are classified as a form of renewable (green) power generation.. Pumped storage plants convert potential energy to electrical energy, or, electrical energy to potential energy.They achieve this by allowing water to flow from a high elevation to a lower elevation, or, by pumping water from a

Energy Kids: U.S. Energy Information Administration

Hydroelectric power is produced with moving water. Because the source of hydroelectric power is water, hydroelectric power plants are usually located on or near a water source. The volume of the water flow and the change in elevation (or fall) from one point to another determine the amount of available energy in moving water.

Hydropower Plant – Types, Components, Turbines and Working

The hydroelectric power plant utilizes the energy stored in water to rotate a hydraulic turbine. The turbine is used to runs an electric generator to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The rainwater saves by constructing dams across the river. The stored water on dams has potential energy which is used to generate electric power.

Hydropower

The reservoir acts as energy storage, using the gravitational potential energy of water at higher elevation. To generate electricity, gates let water flow into penstocks, which in turn lead the water to one or multiple turbines in the powerhouse. Hydro storage power plants and dams can be colossal in size and capacity and form some of the
