Generators in Hydroelectric Power Plants
Employing the principle of electromagnetic induction, the electric generator transforms the mechanical energy of a rotating turbine shaft into electric energy. Due to the generally lower rotational speed of water turbines, generators in hydroelectric power plants are typically larger than generators of the same output in thermal power plants.
