What is the operation of a hydro-electric power station,coal-burning power station and nuclear power station?
The hydro-electric power station drives a water turbine using water from a storage dam and the water turbine is directly connected to a n alternator which generates electricity. Coal burning power station boils water to steam at high pressure to drive a steam turbine which drives an alternator that generates electricity. Nuclear power station still produces steam for driving a steam turbine which in turn drives an alternator.Nuclear fuel rods heats up water to produce steam instead of coal to boil water.
