A power plant is an industrial facility designed to generate electricity. Power plants convert various sources of natural energy into electrical energy to supply electricity to consumers, who may be private individuals or industrial companies located relatively far away. The power grid transports and distributes electricity to consumers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

There are 02 types of network:

Transmission network (carries energy from generation sources to the HV\/HV transformer, also known as a source substation)

The distribution network (carries energy from the HV\/HV transformer to the end customer)

With the exception of photovoltaic power plants (still not very widespread...), electricity is generated by an alternator driven in rotation by a turbine (in a few rare cases by a stationary diesel engine).<\/p>

The type of turbine then defines the type of power plant:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
A steam turbine in a fossil-fired or nuclear power plant;

A combustion turbine (commonly, but incorrectly, referred to as a gas turbine) in a thermal power plant;

A hydraulic turbine in a hydroelectric or tidal power plant;

A wind turbine is also a type of turbine.

Hydropower has long been a solution for generating electricity (also known as hydroelectricity), because it uses renewable energy.
A dam is erected at a choke point on the banks of a river, creating a reservoir of water. Turbines connected to alternators are installed at the foot of the dam. The turbines are supplied with pressurized water via a system of pipes and flow regulators.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
