Power Generation
17:43
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.
