In a power station that uses fossil fuels, The fuel is burnt and the heat used to generate steam. The steam is then injected onto the turbine blades, making it turn.
In Hydro elcectric stations, special water turbines are used. Water pressure is used to turn the turbine blades directly.

What occurs at a turbine during electricity production?

The purpose of the Turbine in a power plant is to drive the Generator. The shaft of the Turbine is hard coupled to the drive shaft on the Generator and, turns the Generator to produce the Electricity.In a Hydroelectric station, the Turbine is turned by water rushing past the blades, turning the shaft.In a Stream Powered station, stream from a Boiler enters the Turbine under pressure, expands, rushes past the blades, and turns the shaft.They are turned using steam.

How may energy be lost in a power station turbine?

Energy may be lost in a power station turbine due to friction between moving parts, air resistance, and inefficiencies in the conversion process from thermal energy to mechanical energy. This loss of energy results in a decrease in the turbine's efficiency and overall power output.

How does the four main parts of a power station work?

The four main parts of a power station are the generator, turbine, boiler, and cooling system. The boiler produces steam by burning fuel, which then drives the turbine. The turbine is connected to a generator, which converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy. The cooling system is used to remove excess heat from the process to maintain efficiency and prevent overheating.
