This video explains how a Pelton hydroelectric power station works. The 3D model uses a Pelton turbine to generate electricity. We also look at all the power station main components:

Sluice Gate
Penstock
Pelton Turbine
Generator
Electrical Transformer

The 3D power station uses a Pelton turbine, it should be noted that Francis and Kaplan turbine hydroelectric power plants have a slightly different setup. Pelton turbines are typically used where there is a very large head of pressure, they cannot be used for run-of-the-river applications.

The 3D models in the video can be found at saVRee.com or 3D-knowledge.com.
