Basically, all power stations adopt the same method to produce electricity. A turbine is caused to
rotate. A generator is attached to the shaft of the turbine. As the turbine turns, electricity is produced in
the generator. This electricity is sent out through transmission lines to a distribution station of the
Electricity Board.
In hydroelectric power stations, the turbine is turned by flowing water. In thermal power stations,
steam is produced by heating water in a furnace which burns coal or oil. In nuclear power stations, the
steam is produced by the heat generated in the fission process.
