Abstract
A power generation plant converts other energy sources into an electrical form of energy that is convenient for transmission over long distances to many users. These sources include the potential energy contained in fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal; natural energy, encompassing water and wind sources; and nuclear fission sources (and perhaps fusion sources in the near future).
