Please help me with correcting grammar errors of following paragraphs. I appreciate your help! The diagram provided shows the production of electricity by a hydroelectric dam. This process is begins with the water in a reservoir and it pass though a tunnel then ends with the creation of electricity. In order to generate electricity, the first step is to collect water in a reservoir. Then the water will pass through an intake in the bottom of the dam and enter a long tunnel which called penstock. However, the second step is when the intake opened, the water flow down the penstock, the pressure it create is use to spin the turbine. Which is connect to generator, that forced it ran then powered the generator to produce electricity. At the same time, the water that has flow out in to the river below the dam. Finally, the generator in the powerhouse is carried away by power lines, which are transport the electricity over long distance.

The diagram provided shows the production of electricity by a hydroelectric dam. This process begins with the water in a reservoir which then passes through a tunnel and ends with the creation of electricity.
In order to generate electricity, the first step is to collect water in a reservoir. Then the water will pass through an intake in the bottom of the dam and enter a long tunnel which is called a penstock.
However, in the second step, the intake is opened, the water flows down the penstock, the pressure it creates is used to spin the turbine. Said turbine is connected to a generator, thereby the momentum powers the generator to produce electricity. At the same time, the water flow s out into the river below the dam. Finally, the power produced is carried away by power lines, which transport the electricity over long distance.

I'm not a writer but I believe that it is at least coherent. I changed some sentences alot for that reason.

The diagram provided shows the production of electricity by a hydroelectric dam. This process is begins with the water in a reservoir and it. From there it passes though a tunnel, then ends with the creation of electricity.
In order to generate electricity, the first step is to collect water in a reservoir. Then the water will pass through an intake in the bottom of the dam and enter a long tunnel which is called penstock.
However, ("However" implies you are contradicting what came before it.) The second step is when the intake openeds, the water flows down the penstock,. (That is the end of that step, so it makes sense to end the sentence there also.) The pressure it creates is used to spin the turbine., which ("Which should not be used to start a sentence, it is used after a comma.) is connect to a generator. (use "the generators" if you're talking about more than one) That forced it ran then powered powers the generator to that produces electricity. At the same time, the that (using "that' instead of "the" here means you are specifically talking about the water that came from the penstock. "the" is less specific for which water you are talking about.) water that has flowed out in to into (*see note below*) the river below the dam. Finally, the generator in the powerhouse is carried away by power lines, which are transports the electricity over a long distance (or "over long distances" depending if you're talking about 1 power line or multiple power lines).

*copied from google: The word “into” is a preposition that expresses movement of something toward or into something else. ... “In to,” on the other hand, is the adverb “in” followed by the preposition “to.” They aren't really related and only happen to fall next to each other based on sentence construction.
