5 Methods of Generating Electricity
Electricity generation is a method of generating electric power from sources of primary energy. For utilities in the electric power industry, it is the stage prior to its delivery (transmission, distribution, etc.) to end users or its storage. For example, the pumped-storage method. Electricity is not freely available in nature, so it must be "produced" (that is, transforming other forms of energy to electricity--transformation of energy). Production is carried out in power stations (also called "power plants"). Electricity is most often generated at a power plant by electromechanical generators, primarily driven by heat engines fueled by combustion or nuclear fission but also by other means such as the kinetic energy of flowing water and wind. Other energy sources include solar photovoltaics and geothermal power. There are also exotic and speculat...
