How is power generated in a power station?
In a power station fuel is burnt to produce heat in the form of steam. This causes the turbine connected to a turbogenerator to spin resulting in the conversion of mechanical spinning energy to electrical energy, generating power.
What are the energy transformations in a coal fired power station?
Coal is burned to produce heat, which then is transferred to water/steam, which produces mechanical power in the steam turbine, which produces electrical power from the generator
What happened to the chernobyl nuclear power station?
it leaked but now they fixed it all up so people could visit it again
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.
Where is the energy lost with in a power station?
cooling towers
What is the purpose of chernobyl power plant?

How many nuclear power station explosions have occurred?

What country had a big fire at a nuclear power station?
The Ukraine (Chernobyl) in 1986
Do wind turbines produce nuclear energy?
No, they produce energy from the wind turning a turbine. This energy is then sent to a power station, where it is stored and/or sent to different locations (cities/town, oil refineries, etc.)
What is the capital of chernobyl?
Chernobyl is neither a capital, nor a country. Chernobyl was a city close to the Chernobyl nuclear power station. The power station actually sat close to Prypiat Ukraine, where many of the workers lived. It was close to the Ukrainian and Belarus border. It became famous for having a large nuclear disaster on 26 April 1986. The city is now abandoned and is a ghost city inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
Where was the Chernobyl disaster at?
It was in the Ukraine, however it affected many countries across Europe and the world
What was the name of the nuclear power station that sustained heavy damage and cost many people their lives?
Chernobyl
What is a power station for?
To produce electricity
How much energy does a natural gas power station produce per day?
The energy produced is related to the size of the power plant, not the amount of gas it uses. The question you really want answered is "How much gas does it take to produce a kilowatt of electricity?"
What power station changes the Potential Energy of water into Electrical Energy?
A hydro station.
How many power stations have had leaks?
¥There was a leak of dangerous gas from Hinkley point B nuclear power station in 2004.¥In 1986 the Chernobyl nuclear power station in the Ukraine suffered a melt down. This led to 56 deaths.
