What kind of energy is produced by electrical power plant?

Energy leaves power plants in the form of AC electricity. There are many types of power plants, but almost all nonrenewable power plants involve the heating of water, then the conversion of that heat energy into kinetic energy through steam, which then spins a turbine to convert that kinetic energy into electric energy, which then leaves the plant through transmission lines.


What kind of power plants produce electrical energy from moving water?

Hydroelectric plants.


In hydroelectric power plants the energy from moving water is converted into electric power. What kind of energy transformation occurs when the energy is converted?

The energy transformation that occurs in hydroelectric power plants is from kinetic energy (movement of water) to mechanical energy (turbine rotation) and then to electrical energy (electricity generation).
