BASIC POWER GENERATIONS CONCEPT:-

Energy Exists in Various forms like mechanical energy,electrical energy, thermal energy & so on. One Form of Energy Can be Converted into  another form  by suitable arrangements. Out of these forms,electrical energy is Preferred due to the following reasons-

1.It can be easily transported from one form to another.

2.Losses in Energy Transportation are minimum.

3.It can be easily controlled and regulated to suit requirements.

4.It can be easily Converted  into other forms of energy

5. It Can be easily sub-divided.

-In all powert stations, electric energy is generated from other forms of energy e.g.

(i)Chemical energy of Fuel( Thermal Energy),

(ii) Energu of falling water (hydraulic energy),

(iii) Atomatic Energy (Nuclear Energy)

According to power stations are classified as:

A.Thermal Power Stations

B.Hydro-Electric Power Stations

C.Nuclear Power Stations
