As we are very clear about the Power generation, that is there must be a prime mover which can develop a mechanical energy from the natural sources of energy. As in the case of steam power plant the water is headed and converted in to steam (super headed) then it is allowed to expand in to a turbine. The turbine causes to rotate (turbo machine) at about 3600rpm. Hence the Turbine becomes a prime mover here, then the rotational movement (shaft) is connected with the generator/alternator in order to produce electricity according to Faraday's law.

What is the working principle of a condenser in thermal power plant?

It condenses the spent working fluid from the turbine output back to a liquid before it is recycled back into the steam generators of the power plant. This increases operating efficiency. Usually the condenser operates by running the working fluid through a network of pipes inside a tower. Water mist is sprayed on the pipes to cool them and an updraft causes a vapor cloud to exit the top of the tower.
