A power generating station (also called a power plant or power station) is an industrial facility that converts primary energy —such as chemical energy in fuels, nuclear energy, or kinetic/thermal energy from nature—into electrical energy. The output is synchronized with the grid, stepped up in voltage, and transmitted to consumers.
Understanding how power stations generate electricity requires examining different plant types: These plants burn coal, oil, or natural gas to heat water, creating steam that spins turbines. Despite environmental concerns, fossil fuel stations still supply a large portion of the world's electricity.
Saiful Hasmady bin Abu Hassan A power station (also called a generating station, powerhouse, generating plant, or power plant) refers to industrial equipment for electric power generation. The classification of TPPs is normally based on the fuel type, types of the thermodynamic cycle, as well as the type of installed prime mover [31,32].
After this brief introduction, we look at the 5 (five) different kinds of electric power generating stations. This lesson is an Introduction to electrical power generation. By the end of this lesson, the student is expected to be comfortable with the following: Electric Energy: The ability of electricity to do work.
