Hydroelectric power plants (HEPPs) convert the power of flowing water into electricity. The rate of flow or fall of the water determines the amount of energy in the flowing water.

The water flowing in a large river carries a large amount of energy. Or, when the water is dropped from a very high point, a high amount of energy is obtained. In both ways, the water taken into the channels or pipes flows towards the turbines, enabling the turbines with arms such as propellers to rotate for electricity generation. Turbines are connected to generators and convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

hydroelectric power plants;

– Obtaining energy from a renewable resource, water,
– They do not create greenhouse gas emissions,
– The construction can be done with local resources,
– Long technical life and no fuel costs,
– Low operating and maintenance costs,
– Creating employment opportunities,
– It is the most important renewable energy source in terms of revitalizing the economic and social structure in rural areas.
