steam power plants

Steam power plants generate electricity by burning fuel such as coal, natural gas, or oil to heat water in a boiler. The heat produces steam that expands and moves through turbines, causing them to spin. The spinning turbines drive generators that produce electrical energy. After passing through the turbine, the steam is cooled and condensed back into water to repeat the cycle. This process efficiently converts the chemical energy in fuels into electrical energy, providing a reliable power source for homes and industries.
