How to generate Electricity ?
There are different sources of energy so electricity can be generated by many different methods. In this modern world, the demand of electricity is increasing continuously if one want to keep up the pace with other people he/she has to find alternative methods of generating electricity which should be effective, cheap, pollution free, reliable. As we have already learnt about constituents of Power System in previous post, today we will cover the Generation part of the Power System. Even the vegetables we eat regularly also generate Electricity like Lemon, Potatoes, etc.
Anyone who as deep knowledge of sources of energy, working of components and a good will to do it can generate Electricity. If you have enough heat and money you can plant a Power Station. The objective is that there's no limitations and boundaries to generate electricity.
The main function of the generating station is to convert some form of energy into electrical energy. In this post we will deal with various method of generating electricity.
According to the energy available from other sources to rotate the turbine, power stations are classified as:
Classification of Power Stations :-

According to the energy available from other sources to rotate the turbine, power stations are classified as:
Classification of Power Stations :-
- Thermal Power Station (T.P.S.)
- Hydro Electric Power Station (H.P.S.)
- Nuclear Power Station (N.P.S.)
- Diesel Power Stations, etc (D.P.S.)
The natural resources of any country may be large but they can only be turned into wealth if they are
developed, used and exchanged for other goods. This cannot be achieved without energy.

Electrical energy is emphasized because apart from prime mover , alternator combination a modern generating station employs several auxiliary equipment and instruments to ensure cheap, reliable and continuous service.
The electrical energy produced by the generating station is transmitted and distributed with the help of conductors to various consumers.
