    The document summarizes the working principles, key factors for site selection, general arrangement, and main components of a hydroelectric power plant. A hydroelectric plant utilizes the potential energy of stored water from a dam to run water turbines coupled to electric generators, converting the mechanical energy to electrical energy. Important considerations for siting a plant include available water sources, water storage capacity, distance to load centers, land costs, transportation access, and water head. The major components are dams, spillways, surge tanks, penstocks, water turbines, draft tubes, tailraces, transformers, and the 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.
    Factors for Selection of Site

    1. Availability of water
    2. Storage of water
    3. Distance from load centers
