What are power plants?
A power plant is an industrial facility for the generation of electric power
Also called generating station, power station, or powerhouse
The most important component in power stations is a generator, a rotating machine that converts mechanical power into electrical power by creating relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor.
The energy source harnessed to turn the generator varies widely depending on price, availability and technology.

The Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, a boiling water reactor nuclear power plant.
Many sources of energy for power plant:
• Thermal
• Nuclear
• Hydrokinetic
• Wave
• Tidal
• Geothermal
• Solar
