2. 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.

3. 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 .

4. 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.

5. Electric steam boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_steam_boiler

   Electric steam boiler on the training ship Golden Bear. An electric steam boiler is a type of boiler where the steam is generated using electricity, rather than through the combustion of a fuel source. Such boilers are used to generate steam for process purposes in many locations, for example laundries, food processing factories and hospitals ...

6. Electricity generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

   Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy.For utilities in the electric power industry, it is the stage prior to its delivery (transmission, distribution, etc.) to end users or its storage, using for example, the pumped-storage method.

7. 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 ...
