Electricity Generation

Electricity is the second form of energy, mainly fossil fuel that is used to produce it. In 1997, the world electricity generation amount was 12 trillion kWh, but it is estimated to reach 21 trillion kWh by 2020. (Fay and Golomb, 2002, 16) This is attracting attention as it is based on the US Department of Energy's 1997 international energy prospect, and the world electricity generation is mainly fossil fuel (63%), carbon dioxide To the atmosphere. It is inside.

Power generation is the process of generating power from primary resources. For electric utilities in the electricity industry this is the first phase of providing electricity to end users and the other phase is the use of pumped storage methods for power transmission, distribution, energy storage and recycling. One characteristic of electricity is that it is freely present in nature and not primary energy that must be produced. Production is done at the power station. Electricity is usually generated by an electromechanical generator of the power plant, driven mainly by heat engines causing combustion or fission, or by other means such as running water or wind kinetic energy. Other energy sources include solar power generation and geothermal power generation.

The alternator at the beginning of the 20th century was constructed in Budapest, Hungary, and will generate power at the power plant at the hydroelectric power plant. This is a device that converts mechanical energy into electric energy. The generator forces charge (usually carried by electrons) through an external circuit. The mechanical energy may be water falling through a reciprocating or turbo steam engine, turbine or hydraulic turbine, internal combustion engine, wind turbine, crank crank, compressed air or any other mechanical energy source. The generator supplies almost all the power to the grid, which supplies most of the world power. Inverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by an electric motor with many similarities. Many electric motors can drive electricity by mechanical means and in many cases can produce acceptable generators
