Alternative energy assessment guide A good explanation of how electricity is generated will have: A clear labelled diagram A method of about three clear sentences such as 1. The water flows down the penstock from the dam 2. It turns a turbine 3. Which turns a generator which makes electricity A good energy transfer explanation would explain the transfer in each stage of their method, such as 1.Water flowing down pipe = Gravitational kinetic 2. At the turbine – Kinetic energy of water kinetic energy of turbine 3. At the generator – Kinetic energy of the generator electrical energy
