Power generation is the process of converting various forms of energy into electrical energy.

The most
common sources of energy used for power generation are fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), nuclear
energy, hydroelectric power, and renewable energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass).

Fossil fuels are the most widely used sources of energy for power generation, as they are abundant, easy
to transport, and relatively inexpensive. However, they also have significant environmental impacts, such
as air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

Nuclear energy is another major source of power generation, which uses nuclear fission to produce
electricity. While nuclear energy is a reliable and low-carbon source of electricity, it also has safety
concerns and challenges in waste disposal.

Hydroelectric power is a renewable energy source that uses the kinetic energy of moving water to
generate electricity. Hydroelectric power is a clean and reliable source of energy, but its development is
limited by the availability of suitable sites.

Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass, are becoming increasingly
important in power generation due to their low environmental impact and sustainability.
