    The document discusses the working principles, key factors for site selection, general arrangement, and main components of a hydroelectric power plant. The working principle involves using the potential energy of stored water in a dam to run a water turbine coupled to an electric generator, converting the mechanical energy to electrical energy. Important factors for selecting a suitable site include water availability and storage capacity, distance to load centers, land costs, transportation access, and water head. The main components are the dam, spillways, surge tank, penstocks, water turbines, draft tube, tail race, step-up transformer, and power house.

    Working Principal

     Hydro-electric power plant utilizes the potential


    energy of water stored in a dam built across the river.
     The potential energy of the water is used to run
    water turbine to which the electric generator is
    coupled.
     The mechanical energy available at the shaft of the
    turbine is converted into electrical energy by means
    of the generator.
