The diagram illustrates the process involved in the generation of electricity using the hydroelectric power station.
Overall, electricity generation involves five main processes that include storing water in a high-level dam, release water, generate electricity using water flow, power transmission, and reverse pumping of water from low to the high-level dam.
Firstly, water from the river is stopped and stored in a dam, this is referred to as a High-level reservoir. Secondly, during the daytime, water is released through an intake, the down stream of water current passes through a turbine in a power station where electricity is generated. In the fourth step, the electric current is then transferred to the national grid using power lines. In the end, water is channeled to another low-level reservoir.
The second main process in electricity generation is to send the water back to a high-level reservoir. This reverse process happens during night time. For pumping the water from low to high levels, reversible turbines were used at night time, this turbine act as a generator during the day.
