Renewable energy resources related to hydroelectric power supply a large part of the electricity in the world. In the hydroelectric power method, the energy of water flowing is converted into electricity. This method is considered a renewable energy resource because the water cycle is uniformly continued with sunlight. One of the first hydroelectric power applications was in grain milling, while today, modern hydroelectric power plants use turbines and generators to produce electricity. This paper is aimed to investigate the influential factors in the performance of all types of hydroelectric power turbines. Electricity generation through the thermal energy conversion process has special features such as non-polluting the environment, good efficiency, cheapness of ocean power, etc.
