DEFINITION

A power station,
also referred to as a generating station, power plant, powerhouse, or
generating plant, is an industrial facility for the generation of electric
power. Most power stations contain one or more generators, a rotating machine
that converts mechanical power into electrical power. The relative motion
between a magnetic field and a conductor creates an electrical current. The
energy source harnessed to turn the generator varies widely. Most power
stations in the world burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas to
generate electricity. Others use nuclear power, but there is an increasing
use of cleaner renewable sources such as solar, wind, wave and hydroelectric.
