Topic > Supply of electricity from different energy sources

To generate electricity you need an energy source. Some of these sources will include wind, liquid water forced to move at high speed, or steam projected at high pressure. The energy harnessed from these sources is used to run large turbines which in turn drive connected generators that produce electricity that is extracted and distributed. These sources produce mechanical and kinetic energy that is extracted by enormous turbine devices equipped with blades that spin at great speed. These blades are connected to the turbine shaft. The turbine shaft is then connected to the alternator in the generator. The main task of the alternator is to use and absorb the kinetic or otherwise mechanical energy produced by the turbine device to create a rotary movement and consequently produce electrical energy (OXLADE 2011). The rotation of the turbine shaft in turn also rotates the internal mechanisms of the generator. These internal modules work collectively to cause relative movement between the magnetic and electric fields, which in turn generates electricity. The internal modules will include the stator which is the fixed, immobile module comprising a series of electrical conductors wound into coils on an iron core and the armature which is the touching module which produces a rotating magnetic field. In the space inside the generator identified above as the stator, there are two polar field magnets that create a magnetic field. These are placed on both sides of the armor. Therefore, the energy from the sources is captured and channeled through the turbine devices and causes the armature to rotate at high speeds within the electric field produced by the magnets. Due to Faraday's Law of Induction, a la...... middle of paper ......dangerous transmission, distribution and generation devices and components. They will continuously observe the operational capacity of station accessories in substations, predominantly as shown by countless meters and indicators. They are also responsible for observing the abnormal operating conditions of the switchgear devices and making modifications mandatory to restore the device to its normal operating capacity or put it out of service if necessary.
