Explore the whole process of how a power station works
The basic principle of the operation of a thermal power station is the conversion of thermal energy to mechanical and mechanical to electric energy. There are different sources of thermal energy. Fossil fuel power stations use heat generated during the combustion of fuels, such as coal, gas, oil or biomass. Nuclear power plants generate heat that is released during nuclear fission of chemical elements, in particular uranium. However, power stations can also have other than heat sources ??“ solar, water or wind power plants.
