Generating station :
Bulk electric power is produced by special plants known as generating station or power plants.
A generating station essentially employs a prime mover coupled to an alternator for the production of electric power. The prime mover ( stem turbine, water turbine etc.) Converts energy from some other form into mechanical energy. the alternator converts mechanical energy of the prime mover into electrical energy. The electrical energy produced by the generating station is transmitted and distributed with the help of conductors to various consumer. It may be emphasised here that apart from prime mover-alternator combination, a modern generating station employs several auxiliary equipment and instrument to ensure cheap, reliable and continuous service.
Depending upon the from of energy converted into electrical energy, the generating station are classified as under :
1. Steam power station.
2. Hydroelectric power station.
3. Diesel power station.
4. Nuclear power station.
