  2. Energy conversion efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conversion_efficiency

    Chemical to electrical up to 40% Gas turbine plus steam turbine (combined cycle) Chemical to thermal+electrical (cogeneration) up to 63.08% [14] In December 2017, GE claimed >64% in its latest 826 MW 9HA.02 plant, up from 63.7%. They said this was due to advances in additive manufacturing and combustion. Their press release said that they ...

  3. Electricity generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

    The turbine drives a generator, thus transforming its mechanical energy into electrical energy by electromagnetic induction. There are many different methods of developing mechanical energy, including heat engines, hydro, wind and tidal power. Most electric generation is driven by heat engines.

    The generator then creates electricity due to the interaction of a conductor within a magnetic field. In this case, the mechanical energy generated by the wind is converted, through the generator, into electric energy. Most power plants rely on these conversions to create usable electric power. [6]

  5. Energy transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_transformation

    Mechanical energy of the turbine is converted to electrical energy by the generator, which is the ultimate output In such a system, the first and fourth steps are highly efficient, but the second and third steps are less efficient.

  6. Electrostatic generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_generator

    An electrostatic generator, or electrostatic machine, is an electrical generator that produces static electricity, or electricity at high voltage and low continuous current. The knowledge of static electricity dates back to the earliest civilizations, but for millennia it remained merely an interesting and mystifying phenomenon , without a ...

  7. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    An engine-generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of self-contained equipment. The engines used are usually piston engines, but gas turbines can also be used, and there are even hybrid diesel-gas units, called dual-fuel units.
