Power station generates electricity with voltage

Power station generates electricity with voltage

A power station, also referred to as a power plant and sometimes generating station or generating plant, is an industrial facility for the of . Power stations are generally connected to an . Many power stations contain one or more , rotating machine that converts mechanical power into . The relative motio. As the rotor spins within a magnetic field, it induces an electrical current in the coils—a process known as electromagnetic induction. The resulting alternating current (AC) is then conditioned and transformed into high-voltage electricity suitable for long-distance transmission.
