Lesson 1
Hydropower Plants: Using the energy generated by the water stored in a swamp to a steep fall on the turbine that mechanically turns the electric generator, which produces electricity.
Nuclear and Thermal Power: Using steam at pressure on the turbines that drive the electric generator. In thermal power, steam is produced by combustion, while in nuclear power, a controlled nuclear reaction with uranium is used as fuel.
Wind Farms: Exploits the kinetic energy of wind for electric power generation by grouping several wind generators.
Photovoltaic Power Plant: It can generate electricity by exploiting the energy from photovoltaic cells that capture sunlight.
Charles Coulomb enunciated what is known as Coulomb's Law to demonstrate experimentally... Continue reading "Understanding Power Generation: Key Concepts and Principles" »
