Hydropower station imakhala ndi hydraulic system, mechanical system ndi magetsi opangira mphamvu zamagetsi, ndi zina zotero. Ndi ntchito yofunikira kuzindikira kutembenuka kwa mphamvu yamadzi kukhala mphamvu yamagetsi. Kukhazikika kwa kupanga mphamvu yamagetsi kumafuna kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zamadzi mosalekeza mu hydropower station. Kupyolera mu ntchito yomanga ma hydropower station reservoir system, kugawidwa kwa hydraulic resources mu nthawi ndi malo kungasinthidwe ndi kusinthidwa mwachisawawa, ndipo kugwiritsidwa ntchito kosatha kwa hydraulic resources kumatha kuchitika.
Pamalo ogwirira ntchito yayikulu ya hydropower station, crane ya mlatho nthawi zambiri imayang'anira kuyika zida zofunika, kukonza magwiridwe antchito komanso kukonza nthawi zonse.
