Abstract: Abstract A hydropower station has two functions from an energy point of view: on the one hand to make the potential energy in the water available for energy conversion (energy gathering), and on the other hand to perform the energy conversion from kinetic energy to electric power. The aim of this paper is to point out some main characteristics of the development of the energy conversion stage and to give some quantitative measures of the energy-saving technical change in this stage.
