How does a hydroelectric plant work? What are the types of HYDROELECTRIC PLANTS?

Hydroelectric plant is a complex of civil, electrical, energy and mechanical engineering projects, comprising the areas of hydraulics, concrete structures, geotechnical, geological, concrete technology, computing, control, automation, environmental, forestry, soils, foundations, materials, electromechanical assembly, etc.
A set of works and equipment, whose purpose is to produce electricity through the use of hydraulic potential existing in a river.
Hydroelectric plants work through the pressure of the water that turns the turbine, transforming potential energy into kinetic energy. After passing through the turbine, the generator transforms the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Through wires and cables, energy is distributed, and before reaching homes and businesses, it is transformed into low voltage.
Hydroelectric energy is still a type of energy that is cheaper than others, such as nuclear energy. The technical feasibility of each case must be individually analyzed by specialists in environmental engineering and specialist in hydraulic engineering, who generally use mathematical models, physical models and geographic models for their studies and projects.
