Which part of a nuclear power plant converts ME of turbines into EE?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
the electrical alternator equipment converts mechanical / physical energy into electrical energy by using an exciter system to turn the rotor into a large rotating magnet device , which causes a large electro-magnetic field to be generated
around the stator and then a large current to be generated in the electrical windings of the stator itself.

Describe the role of steam in a nuclear power plant?
Steam in nuclear power plants is used to drive turbines for generation of kinetic energy.
What is the purpose of the heat in the nuclear power plant?
To boil water into steam to run (turn) turbines.
What is the difference between nuclear reactor and nuclearpower plant?
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
What is the waste of nuclear power?
Nuclear reactors produce heat, the heat then is used to make steam, turning turbines. Therefore, the waste of a nuclear power plant is excess steam.
What does the steam turbines do in a nuclear reactor?
Primarily, the steam turbines spin the generators, which make electricity. That is the primary objective of a nuclear power plant, to make electricity. There are other steam turbines in a nuclear power plant which are used for various functions, such as High Pressure Coolant Injection and Low Pressure Coolant Injection, which are used during various shutdown and emergency scenarios.
What part of a nuclear power plant produces the electricity that can be used in a home?
The steam turbines (which use the steam produced by the hot nuclear pile).
What does the generator in a nuclear power plant do?
converts the rotation of the steam turbine shaft to electricity. same as in a coal fired plant.
Parts of a nuclear power plant?
Reactor,Control Rods,Steam Generator,Turbines and Generator,Cooling Tower.
What is nuclear power use for?
It is used for electricity in nuclear power plants == == Nuclear power is used to heat steam which then turns turbines, which generate electricity in nuclear power stations and also to provide propulsion and power on board nuclear submarines.
How many average wind turbines are needed to replace 1 average nuclear power plant?
About 500, when the wind is blowing
How does a nuclear sub marine convert its fuel into motion?
A small scale version of a nuclear power plant-thermal energy from the nuclear reactor is used to raise steam to drive turbines
How does hydroelectric power plant converts to electrial energy?
A hydroelectric power plant makes energy by spinning turbines that turn generators to create energy.water is taken in from lake thrue pipesthe pipes then carry the water to the turbinesThe turbines spin turning a generatorthe generator generates electricity sending it into power linesthe power lines carry the power to the power plantthe power plant sends the power to your home
