An electricity power station gets its electricity by spinning electricity turbines. A turbine, or generator, is a magnet spinning inside a coil of copper wire. The turbine is driven by wind, water, or steam from geothermal, nuclear, or from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), biomass or renewable bio-methane.
A:This sounds like a silly question, because the power station makes electricity. However if it is shutdown to start with, the auxiliaries on the station need some power before it can be started. This would normally be imported from the grid connections, so that necessary pumps, instruments, computers, etc can be powered up ready for start up. On nuclear stations there are always also diesel generators which can cope with requirements for in house power in the event of losing the grid connection. A:All power plants, not just nuclear, have a means to generate auxiliary electricity to get the plant up and running. These are usually diesel generators that are started by batteries.
