Does sound energy generate electricity in a power station?
No
How do coal power stations and wind farms generate electricity?
Coal power stations burn coal to heat water to produce steam, which is then used to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. The burning coal releases carbon dioxide.Wind farms have blades which turn in the wind to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. There are no harmful carbon dioxide emissions.
How do power stations use steam to help generate electricity?
Steam is used to spin a turbine, which then generates electricity.
What is wind energy's main use?
to generate power or electricity
Why is oil burnt in power stations?
The whole idea of a "power station" is to produce energy. They need to get the energy from somewhere. Burning oil is one alternative to get their energy.
What is Hydroelectric power?
Moving water can be used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations.
Why does Singapore use fuel power stations to generate electrical energy?
It lasts longer. and the electricity is from the enviroment.
What are the energy conversions which takes place in such power stations using fuels to generate electricity?
Chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy
Do power stations use heat to generate electricity?
Yes most power stations do use heat to generate electricity. Heat energy of the fuel (e.g. burning coal, burning oil, nuclear fission) is utilized to heat water present in the boiler. This heating generates steam, which is then utilized to run the turbine. However some power stations get the energy to generate electricity without using heat (e.g. hydroelectric dams, wind power, sea wave power, solar cell generation systems).
Why are there so many coal burning power stations in UK?
To generate electricity.

No
Can wind power generate electricity?
Yes, wind power can generate electricity. Wind energy is considered to be an important contributor of renewable energy having no emissions of CO2.
What energy transfers electricity in the dams power stations?
Hydropower
How do solar power stations generate electricity?
the turbines run due to the steam produced by sun.
Where is coal used and what for today?
The vast majority of coal is used to generate electricity in power stations.
