Benefits and Challenges of Hydroelectric Energy by Marceline2910 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Hydroelectric energy is produced by dams interrupting rivers to form reservoirs. Water flows through pipes called penstocks, transforming potential energy into kinetic energy. Turbines convert this kinetic energy into rotational motion, which turns generators that produce electricity. Dams allow flexible response to electricity demand fluctuations and produce very little greenhouse gases. The Three Gorges Dam in China is the world
