There's a boiler which produce steam. Steam drives/turns the turbine. The turbine is connected to the alternator rotor via a shaft. Turning the rotor then generate electricity.
Mechanical work is generated by the expansion of steam.

A miniature steam power plant is a place where willy wonka allowed his oompa loompas to stay on holidays.
In the oil and Gas industries , power is generated by electrical generators driven by Gas turbines , Steam turbines , reciprocating engines or in some cases turbo expanders.
first mention which power plant in steam pp out come of the steam is cooled after it again passes through into the turbine
We see the wide use of pipe to carry steam and water in a power plant. Insulation is applied where necessary.
To drive a steam turbine which is coupled to an electrical generator
no
By heating water
Dry Steam Power Plant : generates power directly from the steam from inside the earth.Flash Steam Power Plant : Flash steam plants use waters at temperatures greater than 360F. As this hot water flows up, it is collected in a flash tank where drop in pressure causes the liquid to boil into steam. The steam is then used to run turbines which in turn generate power. The condensed steam is returned to the reservoir.Binary Steam Power Plant : This type of plant uses high temperature geothermal water to heat another liquid which has a lower boiling point than water.
STG stands for Steam turbine generator. It is a type of power plant that generates electricity by using steam to drive a turbine connected to a generator. The turbine converts the thermal energy in the steam into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy by the generator.
in the nuclear process of generating power immense heat is relaesed and heats water to steam and turns a turbine. this is the same basic principle for fission and fusion
