There are 3 ways to convert oil to electricity:

1. Conventional steam: oil is burned to heat water and steam, to turn the turbine

2. Combustion turbine: oil is burned under pressure to get hot exhaust gases

3. Combined-cycle technology: oil is firstly combusted using the combustion turbine meathod, then after the gases are recovered, they heat the water in a boiler and power a second turbine
