  2. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steamelectric_power_station

    A steam–electric power station is a power station in which the electric generator is steam-driven: water is heated, evaporates, and spins a steam turbine which drives an electric generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser .

  3. Turbo generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_generator

    A turbo generator is an electric generator connected to the shaft of a turbine (water, steam, or gas) for the generation of electric power. [ note 1 ] Large steam-powered turbo generators provide the majority of the world's electricity and are also used by steam-powered turbo-electric ships.

  4. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator (STG). In electricity generation, a generator [1] is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit.

  5. Stationary engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_engine

    Before mains electricity and the formation of nationwide power grids, stationary engines were widely used for small-scale electricity generation.While large power stations in cities used steam turbines or high-speed reciprocating steam engines, in rural areas petrol/gasoline, paraffin/kerosene, and fuel oil-powered internal combustion engines were cheaper to buy, install, and operate, since ...

  6. Tesla's oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla's_oscillator

    Tesla's electro-mechanical oscillator is a steam-powered electric generator patented by Nikola Tesla in 1893. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Later in life, Tesla claimed one version of the oscillator caused an earthquake in New York City in 1898, gaining it the colloquial title "Tesla's earthquake machine ".

  7. Steam turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine

    Electrical power stations use large steam turbines driving electric generators to produce most (about 80%) of the world's electricity. The advent of large steam turbines made central-station electricity generation practical, since reciprocating steam engines of large rating became very bulky, and operated at slow speeds.

  8. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

    Supercritical steam generators are frequently used for the production of electric power. They operate at supercritical pressure. In contrast to a "subcritical boiler", a supercritical steam generator operates at such a high pressure (over 3,200 psi or 22.06 MPa) that actual boiling ceases to occur, the boiler has no liquid water - steam separation.

  9. Steam generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_generator

    Steam generator (auxiliary boiler), a steam-powered boiler used on ships to produce a low-pressure steam, heated by a high-pressure steam supply rather than a flame. Steam generator (boiler), an oil- or gas-fired boiler, based on a low-water content monotube coil. Steam generator (nuclear power), a heat exchanger in a pressurized water nuclear ...
