Energy - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Electric power plants are usually located far away from the points where the energy is used — for safety reasons, space requirements or physical and
        geographical considerations
    - - Electric power plants are facilities where pnmary or secondary energy
        is transformed into electnmty, Once electricity is generated, it must be
        transported to towns, cities or industrial parks.
        
        How an electric power plant works
        
        Electrical power plants use an external source of energy to produce electricity To do this, they rely on a turbine-alternator system.
        • The turbine converts mechanical energy into the rotating movement
        of a shaft
        • An alternator has a fixed part, called a stator, and a moving part,
        called a rotor, connected to the turbine shaft
        As the rotor shaft moves, alternating electrical current is produced on each of the stator's coils.
