Insights for Policy Makers. Hydropower is a mature and fairly simple technology: the potential energy of. a water source (characterised by its head and mass flow rate) is converted into kinetic energy that spins a turbine driving an electricity generator. The kinetic energy of falling water was used for grinding wheat more than 2 000 years ago.
These refer to both the components of industrial plants and to the plants themselves [ 4, 5 ]. The safe design of components is one of the prerequisites for a safe plant. It is the task of experts of the area in question. For example, explosion proof motors are designed and built by electrical engineers.
