The diagram illustrates the process of generation of hydroelectric power enabled by power stations and the usage of powerful infrastructure, dams and power stations acting as reservoir and the powerhouse.
An overview of the process notes that the generation of electricity is an activity majorly undertaking during the day and at nights the same setup operates to pump water-level back into the initial reservoir to favour the next day’s cycle.
Dams acting as the initial reservoir for generating electricity, pump the river water stored through underground pipes to a power station when the gates are released. The power station is the heart of the process, where high speed turbines are installed connected to a generator. The flow of water during day after whirling with the turbines are extracted to a low-level reservoir which is re-used in the next day’s process. The turbine and generator work towards producing electricity and this is dissipated to powers lines and finally the national grid.
At the night-time, the efficiency of this setup is increased, the water from the low-level-reservoir is pumped back through the same turbines which are reversible, and the water climbs up the same pipes to the high-altitude reservoir. Finally, the dam gates are closed with the stored river water to be used for the next cycle of electricity generation.
