4. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam–electric_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. The greatest variation in the design of steam–electric power plants is due ...
