HYDRO DAM

WALT write an explanation of how a Hydro-power station works



 


A hydro-dam is an amazing structure that makes electricity from water!

Firstly you build a dam to block the river. Water the builds up behind the dam. This is called the reservoir.

Water then goes into the intake and then rushes down the penstock to the turbine. The turbine spins quickly which makes electricity. The electricity then travel through the power lines to house’s and cities. After the water has goes through , it rejoins the river.

Hydro-dams are helping us live and it gives us energy. The water hits the turbine and spins it very fast and it goes down to the river. This is a form of renewable energy.

Non-renewable (will run out) energy source:coal,natural gas,petroleum (oil)





This is how coal is used to generate (make) power:
