  • What does a power station?

    A powerstation generates electrical energy for many thousands of homes and companies.
  • Which components does a powerstation have?

    Large burners
    Turbine
    Generator  
    Transformer
    Coolant water
    Condenser   
    Control room
    Fuel
  • How does a powerstation works?

    Steam is produced by heating water. The steam drives a turbine that is connected to a generator. The generator produces alternating current.
  • What is induced voltage?

    An alternating voltage that is created by means of a changing magnetic field.
  • What is soft iron?

    It is a form of iron that you can magnitize and demagnitize quickly.
  • What is a magnetic field?

    It is the zone within which the magnet exerts a force
  • What is supplying electrical energy?

    Passing electrical energy to the electricity grid.
  • What is electrical power?

    1. The amount of electrical energy per second that a powerstation or turbine supplies to the network.
    2. The amount of electrical energy per second that an appliance consumes or draws from the network.
  • What is a generator?

    The part of an electricity power station that works like a large dynamo: it converts kinetic energy into electrical energy.
  • What is a turbine?

    The component of a powerstation that consist of a shaft onto which a  large number of blades are attached. Because steam is forced up against the blades, the turbine shatfs rotates.
