A Power Plant is an electrical power generation plant that produces electricity by converting mechanical power such as the rotation of a turbine into electrical power. In a coal-fired steam station, the combustion of coal turns water into steam and the steam in turn drives turbine generators to produce electricity. The Power Plant includes either fossil fuels, nuclear fission, or renewable sources like hydro, wind power, solar power, geothermal power, and biomass power plants.
