Electricity generation is the process of producing electricity from other forms of energy. The most common methods of electricity generation are:
- Fossil fuels: Coal, oil, and natural gas are burned to produce heat, which is then used to generate steam. The steam drives a turbine, which in turn generates electricity.
- Nuclear power: Nuclear fission is used to produce heat, which is then used to generate steam. The steam drives a turbine, which in turn generates electricity.
- Renewable energy: Solar, wind, and hydropower are all renewable sources of energy that can be used to generate electricity.
Electricity transmission is the process of transporting electricity from where it is generated to where it is used. The electricity is transmitted over high-voltage power lines.
Electricity distribution is the process of delivering electricity from the transmission system to the end user. The electricity is distributed over low-voltage power lines.
