Hydropower plants harness the kinetic energy of water to generate electricity. This energy source, which powered mills and sawmills in the pre-industrial age, now accounts for more than 15% of all power generated worldwide. Among renewable energies, water power is the undisputed leader, making up around 75% of total output. 

Hydroelectric power plants convert the kinetic energy of flowing or stored water into electrical power using turbines and generators. Compressors play a crucial role in this process, performing essential tasks to ensure efficient and reliable operation. Hydropower plants are typically categorized into low, medium, or high-pressure plants based on the effective head of the water, or by their operating principle, such as running water and storage power plants.
