How big is the power station generator

What is a power generating station?

A power generating station (also called a power plant or power station) is an industrial facility that converts primary energy —such as chemical energy in fuels, nuclear energy, or kinetic/thermal energy from nature—into electrical energy. The output is synchronized with the grid, stepped up in voltage, and transmitted to consumers.

What are the different types of power stations?

The most common type of power station is the thermal power station. Thermal power stations burn coal, oil or natural gas to make steam. The steam expands creating pressure that spins turbines. The spinning turbines produce electricity using a magnetic field, the same way as a small generator works.
