Powerplant Systems
Powerplant systems are the components and processes that generate electricity. They convert fuel, such as coal, natural gas, nuclear material, or renewable sources like wind and solar, into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy. Key parts include turbines, generators, cooling systems, and control systems that ensure safe, efficient operation. The process involves generating heat or motion, then transforming that into electricity distributed through power lines. Overall, powerplant systems are the infrastructure that provides a reliable supply of electrical power for homes, industry, and infrastructure needs.
