how is hydropower used? how does the technology work at the most fundamental level? Does the technology transform one type of energy to another? What sub assemblies and components does the technology contain and how do they work? What enabling technologies were/are required to make this new technology possible?
Synchronous Generator
In comparison to an asynchronous generator, it is a machine where the rotor speed is equal to the rotating magnetic field produced by the stator, i.e., mechanical speed is equal to the electrical speed, thus called synchronous, and not asynchronous.
Salient Pole Rotor
Salient pole rotor includes a large number of exposed poles mounted on a magnetic wheel. The construction of a bright pole is as shown in the image on the left. The proposed poles are made of metal laminations. The rotor winding is provided on these poles and is supported by pole shoes.

As per policy, I can answer only first three questions. Kindly resubmit question for remaining.
a) hydro power is the plant which uses power of falling water to rotate turbines. With the help of this rotation, turbine generates electricity.
As shown in figure, the potential energy of water is used to rotate the turbines.
