A hydroelectric power station is a mechanism through which electricity is generated through the water. Here hydroelectric power is being used for the generation of electricity.
The given diagram illustrates the working of a hydroelectric power station. As it can be easily seen in the diagram River water from a high level reservoir where water in high concentration is reserved by means of barrier like a Dam, Flow toward the water station in the day time whereas in the night the flow directly opposite which called pumping.
Through diagram it is clear in power station there are reversible turbines are presents which on night pump the water toward high level reservoir while on day it pumps the water toward low level reservoir. These turbines also connected with a generator. The generator generates electricity by means of motion of turbines in day. This generator is directly connected to a power for the flow of electricity which in turns these power lines are also connected to national grid for storage of electricity.
