- - - - Electncal power plants use an external source of energy to pmduce
        electncity To do this, they rely on a turbine-alternator system.
  - - - This type of plant tm.ludes a nuclear fission reactor that produces the
        pressunsed steam needed to move the turbine rotor.Uranium is the main fuel used.
    - - At this type of power plant, water is heated in a boiler by the heat generated from the combustion of a fossil fuel, usually natural gas or coal The steam that's generated moves the turbine connected to the generator
    - - This type of power plant uses the potential energy provided by the
        height of the stored water in a dam, converting it into cinetic energy.This energy moves the blades of the turbine
  - - - These power plants use the cinetic energy of the wind to move the blades of a rotor at the top of a tower, this is referred to as the wind turbine Wind farms are a clean form of generating electnmty However, they can only be instafled in places with appropnate wind conditions
    - - These plants use the energy from the sun There are two main types of instaflations: photo-thermal and photovoltaic power plants.
    - - Biomass consists of all organic compounds that are produced through natural processes They may come from the following sources.
    - - These power plants use the energy from the seas and the oceans. The
        concept is to use three types of energy from the sea.
