Energy is available in various forms from different natural source such as pressure head of water, chemical energy of fuel , nuclear energy of radioactive substances.
All these form of energy can be converted into electrical energy by the use of suitable arrangements.
The arrangement essentially employs an alternator coupled to a prime mover.The prime mover is driven by the energy obtained from various sources such as burning of fuel, pressure of water, force of wind.For example, chemical of a fuel can be used to produce steam at high temperature and pressure.
The steam is fed to a prime mover which may be a steam engine or steam turbine.
The turbine converts heat energy of steam into mechanical energy which is further converted into electrical energy by the alternator.similarly, other form of energy can be converted into electrical energy by employing suitable machinery and equipment.
