hydroelectric generators
Water-powered turbine systems
Hydroelectric generators are machines that convert the kinetic energy of flowing or falling water into electricity.
They form the core of hydroelectric power plants, where water—typically released from a dam or diverted from a river—spins turbines connected to generators that produce current.
Hydroelectric generation is considered renewable energy since it relies on the natural water cycle rather than finite fuel sources.
