SOURCES FOR POWER GENERATION
WHAT IS POWER GENERATION?
NATURAL GAS
Natural gas is burned to produce
pressurised gas which spins the blades of a
turbine connected to a generator. Inside the
generator, magnets spin, causing the
electrons in wires to move, creating an
electrical current, generating electricity.
BIOMASS USE TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY
SOLAR ENERGY
Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical
energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or
through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.
This energy can be used to generate electricity or
be stored in batteries or thermal storage.
TRIDAL POWER
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
Geothermal power plants use steam to
produce electricity. The steam comes from
reservoirs of hot water found a few miles or
more below the earth's surface. The steam
rotates a turbine that activates a generator,
which produces electricity.
COGENERATION
Cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) is the on-site generation of electricity
from waste heat. When generating electricity from coal, natural gas or nuclear power only
a fraction of the actual energy content released during combustion is converted into
electricity.

SUMMARY
In this PPT we have seen many different types and ways of generating power for
residential purposes. With multiple different sources for generating power a few being
coal, nuclear, wind and solar to name a few. These sources are used to generate power
and electricity as a few of the generators are of coal power, water or hydro power, wind
power, oil, natural gas, nuclear and solar power generators which generate power and
electricity for consumption. We also see what are power plants and what they are used
for. Also seeing their various types of different power plants and what source materials
are used at their core to generate power.
