  3. Steam-electric power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam-electric_power_station

    Steam-electric power station. The steam-electric power station is a power station in which the electric generator is steam driven. Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser. The greatest variation in the design of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

    Boiler (power generation) An industrial boiler, originally used for supplying steam to a stationary steam engine. A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low ...

  5. Steam generator (nuclear power) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_generator_(nuclear...

    A steam generator (aka nuclear steam raising plant ('NSRP')) is a heat exchanger used to convert water into steam from heat produced in a nuclear reactor core. They are used in pressurized water reactor between the primary and secondary coolant loops. In typical PWR designs, the primary coolant is high-purity water, kept under high pressure so ...

  6. Steam turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine

    A modern steam turbine generator installation. Because of the high pressures used in the steam circuits and the materials used, steam turbines and their casings have high thermal inertia. When warming up a steam turbine for use, the main steam stop valves (after the boiler) have a bypass line to allow superheated steam to slowly bypass the ...

  7. Thermal power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_power_station

    Thermal power station. A thermal power station is a type of power station in which heat energy is converted to electrical energy. In a steam-generating cycle heat is used to boil water in a large pressure vessel to produce high-pressure steam, which drives a steam turbine connected to an electrical generator.
