Energy :fire: (we can classify energy sources in several ways: (By use in…

- - - - • The turbine converts mechanical energy into the rotating movement on a shaft
      - An alternator has a fixed part, called a stator, and a moving part,
        called a rotor, connected to the turbine shaft
    - - Elec.tnc power plants are usually located far away from the points where the energy is used — fur safety reasons, space requirements or physical and geographical considerations
    - - conventional
        
        Geothermal power plants
        
        These plants use the heat found at deep levels in the earth. This
        heat may reach the surface in the form of steam, gases or hot water.
        
        Ocean power plants
        
        These power plants use the energy from the seas and the oceans. The
        concept is to use three types of energy from the sea.
        
        Solar power plants
        
        Photo-thermal power plant
        
        In this type of power plant, the heat generated by solar radiation produces steam that is used to move the rotor in the generator.
        
        Photovoltaic power plant
        
        In these power plants, solar radiation is transformed directly into electncity by panels of photovoltaic cells.
        
        Wind power plants and wind farms
        
        These power plants use the kinetic energy uf the wind to move
        
        Biomass thermal power plants
        
        Biomass consists of all organic compounds that are produced through natural processes They may come from the following sources.
      - non conventional
        
        Fosil fuel thermal power plants
        
        Combined cycle power plants
        
        Nuclear power plants
        
        These power plants use the kinetic energy of the wind to move the blades of a rotor at the top of a tower, this is referred to as the
        
        Hydroelectric power plants
