Electricity is produced by burning a fuel or using nuclear energy to make steam and use the steam to turn a shaft using a steam turbine. At the other end of the shaft is a generator or electricity. You can also use fuel in an internal combustion engine at one end of a shaft, with the power generator at the other end. You can also burn fuel in an airplane type jet engine with the generator at the other end of the shaft.

How is plant load factor in solar power plants?
Plant load is a factor in every energy plant. In the case of solar power plants, the plant load factor is at an average of 75%. This means 25% of the time, optimum operation is not utilized. This number has to be compared with start up costs, operating costs and income generated to determine the feasibility of conversion to solar energy.
