Hydraulic turbines convert the kinetic energy of flowing water into mechanical energy and are used in hydroelectric power plants to generate electricity. Water from a reservoir is sent through penstocks to spin the turbine blades and turn generators that produce electricity. Hydroelectric power is considered a renewable energy source because it harnesses the natural power of flowing water.
