The power plant creates electricity using a generator by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generator has a rotating shaft that is powered by a turbine, which can be driven by steam, gas, or water. As the turbine spins the shaft, it turns a rotor within the generator, creating a magnetic field. This magnetic field induces a flow of electrons in the generator's coils, generating an electric current. The current is then sent through a transformer to increase its voltage and transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses.
