  2. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steamelectric_power_station

    The efficiency of a conventional steamelectric power plant, defined as energy produced by the plant divided by the heating value of the fuel consumed by it, is typically 33 to 48%, limited as all heat engines are by the laws of thermodynamics (See: Carnot cycle). The rest of the energy must leave the plant in the form of heat.

  3. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

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

    A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure (7–2,000 kPa or 1–290 psi ) but, at pressures above this, it is more usual to speak of a ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Electric steam boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_steam_boiler

    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.

  8. 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. [1] Small turbo-generators driven by gas turbines are ...

  9. Steam turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine

    A direct-drive 5 MW 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 ...
