How do nuclear power stations operate?
Basically, all power stations adopt the same method to produce electricity. A turbine is caused torotate. A generator is attached to the shaft of the turbine. As the turbine turns, electricity is produced inthe generator. This electricity is sent out through transmission lines to a distribution station of theElectricity Board.In hydroelectric power stations, the turbine is turned by flowing water. In thermal power stations,steam is produced by heating water in a furnace which burns coal or oil. In nuclear power stations, thesteam is produced by the heat generated in the fission process.
How much electricity is produced by nuclear power?
1.7% of Pakistan electricity is produced by nuclear power stations
Does sound energy generate electricity in power stations?
No
How do power stations use steam to help generate electricity?
Steam is used to spin a turbine, which then generates electricity.
Is it a better option to produce electricity as compared to hydroelectric power stations?
Hydroelectric power stations certainly have their advantages and disadvantages, as do all forms of electrical generation. Probably the best solution is to use a combination of different means of producing electricity, with hydroelectric stations as part of the mix.
How the UK make electricity?
The majority of he UK's electricity is generated by coal or gas-fired power stations. We also use nuclear power, wind and wave generators.
When is electricity made?
Electrical energy is mostly generated at the same time as it is used, in other words, all the time 24/7/365. Electricity for powering our homes is generated in power stations.
How is hydroelectric energy be used in homes and businesses?
Whether the electricity is generated by conventional power stations, or hydroelectric power generation, the electricity used in homes and businesses will still be the same, and used the same.
Why are hydroelectric power stations not very useful in a drought?
Because in a drought there is not enough water to drive the turbines. So no electricity is generated.

Is the world's largest supply of electricity generated by powerstations?
Yes, mostly by fossil fueled power stations running on coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear.
What do you know about power stations what are they and why are they needed?
Power stations produce electricity, and we need them because electricity is essential to our modern way of life
What percentage of the world's electricity is generated by electric power?
100% of electricity is electrical power.
How electricity is generated in Colorado?
Power plants.
Why were power stations built?
To produce electricity
What is the name given to electrical power generated from water turbines?
Electricity generated by water power alone is hydroelectric power.
What fraction of Finland's electricity is generated by water power?
10-20 %. For example year 2010 14,5% of all electricity supply in Finland was generated by hydro power.
