The diagram shows the process through which hydroelectric power stations are used to generate electricity. The power station works differently based on the time of the day. During the day, the river water flows in a water reservoir which is located at a higher altitude relative to the power station. The water is stored there using a dam gate which is lifted during the during, letting the river water flow downstream. The water, with the force generated from flowing downstream, turns the reversible turbines that are located below the power station. The spinning turbines generate electricity which is then connected to power lines that connect to the national grid. The water is directed into a low-level reservoir after turning the turbines and stored there till night. During the night, the generator pumps the water from the low reservoir to the high reservoir using the reversible turbines rotating in the opposite direction and the power station's generator. The dam in the high-level reservoir is then closed to store the water until the day. The process is repeated every day and night to generate electricity.
