Question

1 How does a hydroelectric plant work to produce electricity? List the steps below.

2 How is the way that a wind turbine works similar to the way that a hydroelectric
plant works? How is it different?

Answer 1

1. -Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity

-a turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy.

- a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.

2. In the case of a wind-electric turbine, the turbine blades are designed to capture the kinetic energy in wind. The rest is nearly identical to a hydroelectric setup: When the turbine blades capture wind energy and start moving, they spin a shaft that leads from the hub of the rotor to a generator.
