HYDRO ELECTRIC TURBINES

The generation of electricity using water is the oldest form of renewable energy. Hydropower, or hydro-electricity, is a clean energy technology that uses moving water to produce electricity. In a hydroelectric system, water flows through a hydraulic turbine that spins and in turn rotates adjacent generators to transform the rotational energy into electricity. This electricity can then be used to power a farm or house or (if a grid connection exists) can be sold to the National Grid.
