The process is as follows: the upstream water enters the steam turbine through the water inlet channel, driving the steam turbine to rotate, and the steam turbine drives the generator to rotate and produce electricity.
The energy conversion process is as follows: the gravitational potential energy of the upstream water is converted into the kinetic energy of the water flow. As the water flow passes through the steam turbine, kinetic energy is transferred to the steam. turbine. The steam turbine drives the generator to rotate and converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. It is therefore the process of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.
