Energy
Transport and distribution of electrical energy
Medium voltage network
Electricity substation
Distribution to industry
Distribution to industry and to homes
High voltage network
Electricity substation
Electric power station
low voltage network
Different plants
Pump-driven hydraulic power plants
The main
disadvantage
of these power plants is that they generate much less energy, since they use diffuse energy sources
Their
advantages
are that they contaminate much less than
conventional power plants
Wind power plants and wind farms
Solar power plants
Photo-thermal power plant
Photovoltaic power plant
Geothermal power plants
Biomass thermal power plants
Ocean power plants
Conventional electric power plants
Nuclear power plants
Hydroelectric power plants
Gravity-driven hydraulic power plants
Pump-driven hydraulic power plants
Fossil fuel thermal power plants
Combined cycle power plant

Household uses
Industrial uses
Electricity
I t can be easily transformed into other forms of energy, such as light and heat.
It can be transported long distances inexpensively and with very little energy being lost
Electric power plants
How an electric power plant works
The turbine converts mechanical energy into the rotating movement
An alternator has a fixed part, called a stator, and a moving part,
called a rotor
