How do most commercial power plants obtain the mechanical energy that is needed to rotate the generator's turbine blades?

Most commercial power plants obtain mechanical energy to rotate the generator's turbine blades by converting various energy sources into heat and then into mechanical energy. In fossil fuel plants, coal, natural gas, or oil is burned to produce steam, which drives the turbine. Nuclear power plants generate heat through nuclear fission, producing steam in a similar manner. Renewable energy plants, such as wind and hydro, utilize wind or flowing water directly to turn the turbines without the need for steam.


What components are present in every nuclear power plant that generates electricity?

(Nuclear reactor) creates heat Water heated to create pressurised steam (Boiler) Pressurised steam released via turbine chamber (Steam Turbine) translating motion to turbine shaft. Turbine shaft windings rotate inside magnets to generate electricity (Generator)


The spinning Turbine turns a what to make electricity?

The spinning turbine turns a generator to produce electricity. The turbine is usually connected to the generator's shaft, causing it to rotate and generate electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.


How is nuclear energy transformed into thermal energy?

Nuclear Energy is harnessed in Nuclear Reactors by 'fission' reactions which produces heat (thermal energy). In productive applications it is used to heat water to produce steam to rotate turbine and generate electricity by it.


What energy uses kinetic energy of the air to turn a generator?

A wind turbine uses kinetic energy of the air to turn a generator. The wind pushes the blades of the turbine, causing them to rotate, which in turn spins the generator to produce electricity.


How does hyrdro electric generate electricity?

hydro electric means electricity is produced by the using the Water(hydro). The water is made to fall forcely on the Turbine wheel it makes the turbine to rotate. Turbine is coupled to the Generator shaft. when the turbine rotates the generator rotates and emf is induced in it and the ourput is taken from it


How do water generators work?

If you mean a hydroelectric generator, the weight of falling water turns a turbine or water wheel. The turbine or water wheel is attached to a generator, and turns the generator, producing electricity.


How does the wind cause a turbine to spin?

turbines spin when there is a cause of wind..!!


Can you connect generator of gas turbine on cold side if not give reasons?

i think it is not possible... because only through hot side the power of the gas will high that it can rotate the turbine... so generator can be connected only in hot side...


How do turbines and generators work together to make electrical energy?

Turbines are linked to the generators on a common shaft. The turbines are turned by steam (in the case of nuclear, coal, or biomass power plants), by water (in the case of hydroelectric power plants), or by wind (windmills). The turbine then turns the generator, which creates electricity. Think of blowing on a fan. Your "wind" is turning the blades. Now, if that were attached to a generator, you would be creating electricity. (Of course, you'd have to blow REALLY hard...)


Which is the correct statement of what occurs at a turbine during electricity production?

A turbine uses the force of steam, water, or wind to rotate a shaft connected to a generator. The rotation of the shaft generates electricity as the generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.


What is a set of steam-powered fan blades that spins a generator at a power plant?

A set of steam-powered fan blades that spins a generator at a power plant is called a turbine. The steam produced by boiling water is used to drive the turbine blades, converting the thermal energy into mechanical energy to rotate the generator and produce electricity.
