Power Generation

Learn how electricity is made and the different sources used to create it. Erick Hurd explains that power generation historically came turbine generators converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. You can see how that electricity is created as we illustrate how the generator components operate.

Power generation sources include fossil fuels (coal & natural gas), nuclear and renewables (wind, solar & hydro). See how those power generation sources work and the percentage of each in relation to the United States and global energy production.

Thank you for watching one of our many educational videos on the topic of power systems. Schedule a visit to one of Eaton's Power Systems Experience Centers in either Pittsburgh or Houston to learn more!

I was expecting just a regular video with a small amount of information, but this is like gold, I could start my own power network with this. Thank you.

You are the first to properly explain how generator actually works!!! You are the only one who actually explained about the EXCITER ROTOR. thank you 3x thumb up and i am subscribing.

[danielgreaney]

would absolutely crush beers with this dude. Nice vid

[Ekletticorm]

Great video, which explains in great detail how power generation works. The best I've seen around YouTube and I've looked at quite a few! Thank you :)

[muhammadusama]

Amazing video. Covered everything related to power generation to power delivered beautifully.

[axelperez]

Excellent explanation with perfect animation.

Thank you.

[IshmaelAtadika]

Thanks for this eduacation.Every good teacher makes complex subject very simple to understand and that is what you have done, tumps up.

[akashbansod]

Precisely explained with required animation. Thank you so much

That was a quick photo of Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, that was the first nuclear plant I worked 5:12 during the 80s good times.

Great video, however the white smoke you see coming out of the cooling towers is not exhausted steam. It is the cooling water coming back from the condenser and evaporated inside the tower. The cooling water and feedwater are two separate systems as feedwater is very highly treated to remove particulates and chemicals are added. Cooling water is cheaper as it is only used in the condenser tubes to cool the steam off after leaving the turbine.

[SeraphimHanischMusic]

Excellent! This is very helpful for my research. Thank you!

[MrFennmeista]

Very well explained and with good graphics

[hambekgueftham]

I honestly thought is just a simple video but it is worth many lectures videos combined, thank-you

[thedanielcer]

Thank you very much for this video, it's highly educational and extensive. I really can't thank you enough

[georgealexandris]

Super informative video congrats.it’s a pity that you only have few likes 👍

[seablue]

Perfect, i love your videos, please make more videos about generator

[tanyalahies]

Is here to learn more about gen sets and thank you

[just_Rosey_]

Well explained, well understood
Thank you😊

[ANKURGUPTA-hz]

Sir for generating 400 Hz frequency we change in pole or power of engine

[fulbridgerectifier]

What is that handheld machine he has in the beginning of the video?
