        HOW AN ELECTIC PLANT WORKS
        
        Electrical power plants use an external source of energy to produce electricity
        
        To produce electricity they rely on a turbine-alternator system
        
        The turbine converts mechanical energy into the rotating movement of a shaft
        
        An alternator has fixed part, called a stator, and a moving part, called a rotor, connected to the tourbine shaft
    - - Electric power plants are usually located far away from the points where the energy is used
        
        Electricity cannot be stored. It must be transported to consumption centres
