Turbine: A turbine is a device with blades that are turned by a fluid (such as water or steam) to produce rotational motion. In hydropower plants, turbines are used to convert the kinetic energy of flowing water into mechanical energy.
Hydroelectric Power: Hydroelectric power is another term for hydropower. It specifically refers to the generation of electricity using the force of moving water.
Dam: A dam is a barrier built across a river or stream to control its flow and create a reservoir. Dams play a crucial role in hydropower generation by storing large amounts of water and controlling its release to drive turbines.
