The project
Run-of-river hydropower plants take advantage of natural river currents to generate power. Part of the water is directed through a water turbine, which converts the potential energy of the water into mechanical rotation that is used to drive a generator. In other words, the kinetic energy of flowing water is converted into mechanical energy before ultimately being converted into electric energy.
