Electric power plants

 Electric power plants

•   The theory of electric power generation

It is known in the science of electricity and mechanics that there are three elements, these elements are the field, motion and current. In order to generate electricity, we must provide the field and movement, and according to the type of movement, the type of generation. From the previous figure, it is shown that the generator shaft must be rotated until the magnetic field of the coil is cut and the electric current is created, and the generator shaft is connected to the turbine shaft, if the turbine shaft must be rotated by any means of rotation, according to the type of rotation process called the type of the generator station.
