How Run of the River Hydroelectric Power Station Works

This video uses an interactive 3D model to explain how a Kaplan hydroelectric turbine run-of-the-river power station works. It details some of the main components such as the sluice gate, trash rack, weir, penstock, kaplan turbine, generator, switchgear and electrical transformer.

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