A power plant or a power generationg station,is basically an industrial location that is utilized for the generation and distribution of electric power in mass scale, usually in the order of several 1000 watts.These are generally located at the sub-urban regions or several kilometres away from the cities or the load centres,because of its requisites like huge land and water demand,along with several operation constraints like the waste disposal etc.For this reason,a power generating station has to not only take care of efficient generation but also the fact that the power is transmitted efficiently over the entire distance.And that's why, the transformer switch yard to regulate transmission voltage also becomes an integral part of the power plant. At the centre of it, however, nearly all power generating stations has an AC generator or an alternator, which is basically a rotating machine that i...
