1. Fuel is used to produce heat energy2. Water is heated and boiled to steam3. High pressure steam enters and spins turbines
(Turbines convert steam into mechanical energy)4. Turbines turn electrical generator (electricity is created)5. Electricity is transmitted via cables through power grid

Power Plants – Power Stations
Types of Power Stations – Non-renewable
1. Fossil Fuel Power Plant – Coal a. Prime mover is steam turbine. Prime mover is a
machine that transforms energy from thermal, electrical or pressure form to mechanical form.
b. Flue gas exhausted to atmospherec. Waste heat released to atmosphere – cooling towers
2nd law of thermodynamics – not all heat can be converted into mechanical form to do work, some heat will be wasted
A power plant cannot be 100% efficient

PRIMARY LOOP3. Nuclear Power Plant (The 3 Process Loops)
4. Steam spins turbine
5. Electricity generated to grid
6. Cooling water from outside source; gets hot as it condenses steam
7. Released in cooling tower1. Closed-loop reactor
2. Control rods inserted to decrease chain reaction (control rods absorb neutrons, which slows reaction)
3. Heated reactor water boils secondary loop of water in boiler (steam generator)
Power Plants – Power StationsTypes of Renewable Energy Power Plants
1. Solar Power Planta. Total solar energy absorbed by earth in 1 hour is more
than world uses in a yearb. 1 year of solar energy is as much as twice the amount of
energy derived from all non-renewables on Earthc. All renewables (except geothermal) derive energy from the
Sun (e.g., wind, biomass, hydro, wave…)d. Sun’s warmth and light
a. Passive collection – capturing warmth and light through design
b. Active collection – using technology to transform solar energy into electricity

3. Hydroelectric Power Plant (The Step-by-Step Process)1) Dam stores water in reservoir
Energy generation depends on head – height difference from top of reservoir to top of river – and volume
2) Spillway releases excess water3) Gate releases dam water into penstock – screen prevents
objects from damaging turbines4) Penstock is piping – pressure of water increases
