A hydroelectric dam is essentially a mechanical gateway that can control how often, how much, and how fast the water is allowed to passed through. Water above the dam is collected and stored into a reservoir.
How it Works. A hydroelectric dam converts potential energy (and/or kinetic energy) to electrical energy by means of a turbine and alternator. A typical hydroelectric dam has the following main parts: 1  Water Reservoir: A large quantity of water is stored in a reservoir (or dam).2  The height or depth of the stored water determines how much electricity can be generated. 3  As the depth increases, the generation of electricity also increases. typical hydroelectric dam has the following main parts: 1  Water Reservoir: A large quantity of water is stored in a reservoir (or dam). 2  The height or depth of the stored water determines how much electricity can be generated. 3  As the depth increases, the generation of electricity also increases.
