PROJECT TITLE:- HYDRO ELECTRIC

GENERATOR
 APPARATUS USED
• FRAME
• WATER RESERVOIR
• PENSTOCK
• NOZZLE
• TURBINE
• PULLEYS
• BELT
• ALTERNATOR
• LED BULB
• GLUE
 AIM

TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY BY CONVERTING THE KINETIC ENERGY OF WATER TO MECHANICAL

ENERGY.
 CONSTRUCTION
1. WATER RESERVOIR: FROM WATER RESERVOIR WATER FLOWS THROUGH A PIPELINE CALLED PENSTOCK.
2. PENSTOCK: HE PENSTOCK IS A PIPELINE THAT CARRIES WATER FROM THE INTAKE WATER RESERVOIR TO THE TURBINE
3. NOZZLE: THE NOZZLE IS CONNECTED AT THE END OF PENSTOCK TO INCREASE THE VELOCITY OF WATER.
4. TURBINE: THE TURBINE IS THE HEART OF THE HYDROELECTRIC GENERATOR. IT CONVERTS THE KINETIC ENERGY OF TH
WATER INTO MECHANICAL ENERGY, WHICH IS THEN USED TO DRIVE THE GENERATOR. TURBINES COME IN VARIOUS D
PELTON, FRANCIS, AND KAPLAN.
5. PULLEY:TWO PULLEYS ARE THERE THE LARGE ONE IS CONNECTED TO THE TURBINE WHEEL AND THE ANOTHER ONE I
THE ALTERNATOR SHAFT.
6. BELT:THE BELT IS USED TO CONNECT TWO PULLEYS FOR POWER TRANSMISSION.
7. GENERATOR: THE GENERATOR IS CONNECTED TO THE TURBINE AND CONVERTS THE MECHANICAL ENERGY INTO ELEC

 WORKING

• A HYDROELECTRIC GENERATOR WORKS BY CONVERTING THE ENERGY OF FLOWING WATER INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
HERE ARE THE BASIC STEPS:
•
• WATER IS STORED IN A RESERVOIR .
• WHEN THE WATER IS RELEASED FROM THE RESERVOIR IT FLOWS THROUGH A PENSTOCK (A LARGE PIPE) AND THEN A
NOZZLE THAT INCREASES THE VELOCITY OF WATER.
• THE WATER STRIKES ON THE BLADES OF THE TURBINE TO SPIN THE TURBINE. A LARGE PULLEY IS CONNECTED TO THE
TURBINE WHEEL AND A SMALL PULLEY IS CONNECTED TO THE ALTERNATOR BY A BELT. FOR WHICH WHEN THE LARGE
PULLEY TURNS ONE TIME THEN THE SMALL PULLEY TURNS MULTIPLE TIMES ,THAT INCREASES THE EFFICIENCY OF THE
HYDRO ELECTRIC GENERATOR.
• THE ALTERNATOR CONVERTS THE KINETIC ENERGY OF THE TURBINE INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
