How does electricity flow from a power station to power station?

There is an important difference between this question and another common question in this category. (How does electricity flow from a power station to your home?)
Power stations connected to an electricity network (for example a national electricity grid) generate electricity as alternating current. The electricity generators in these power stations spin at 3000 RPM. (That is for a 50 Hz network - for a 60 Hz network they spin at 3600 RPM.) They are called Synchronous Machines, that is, they all spin at exactly the same speed. It's as if they were connected mechanically, even though they are not in the same location, and only connected by wires.
The electricity flow from one region to another and therefore one power station to another depends on the voltages at each of the regions. To say that electricity flows from one power station to another would not be quite correct, as all power stations export electricity if they are on-line and generating. (If they are off-line they might import small amounts of electricity.)

Describe 6 difference method of producing electricity?
Hydro electricity (Water power) Diesel generator Coal fired power station Nuclear power station Gas fired power station Wind turbine generators.
Does sound energy generate electricity in a power station?
No
What does wind power plant mean?
A power station that produces electricity by wind power
How Fire can produce electricity?
As in a coal power station? Water is heated by the fire, makes steam, turns turbines- electricity.
How is a nuclear power station different to a fossil fuelled power station?
Nuclear power produces clean electricity without any carbon dioxide emissions.Fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power produces electricity with carbon dioxide emissions which are causing global warming and climate change.
What is an electricity-generating station called?
A power station
Describe briefly the working of a hydro electric power station?
Turbine is moved with flow of water and this is coupled with generator to produce electricity
Does electricity flow back to power plant?
Electricity does flow back to the power plant. This electricity is what forms the circuit needed to actually deliver the electricity to you when you need it.
What is produced at a power station?
Electricity
What is a power station for?
To produce electricity
How much electricity does a coal power station supply?
it depends on how big the power station is
Name of a power station on waikato river?
The first power station on the Waikato River is named the Horahora Power Station. It was built to provide electricity to the Martha gold mines in Waihi.
Describe 6 difference method of producing electricity?
Hydro electricity (Water power) Diesel generator Coal fired power station Nuclear power station Gas fired power station Wind turbine generators.
Which is Ireland's largest power station?
Ireland's largest power station is the Aghada gas-fired station. It is near Midleton in the east of the county of Cork. It is an electricity generating station, owned by the ESB (Electricity Supply Board), Ireland's main electricity provider.
How does a charging station work?
A charging station works by providing electricity to the car it is charging. There is no way for a charging station to not use electricity because the form of power it transmits is electricity.
The electricity energy that is transferred in a TV comes from a power stationwhere is the energy transferred from to make the electricity in the power station?
Depends on what kind of power station it is, can bea nuclear power plant, a coal-burning power plant, a wind turbine, or a hydroelectric power station.
What does wind power mean?
A power station that produces electricity by wind power
