How to use "Power plant" in context?
Power plants are large and complex industrial plants that convert fossil fuels into electricity. Fossil fuels usually include coal, oil, and natural gas. Power plants can be either steam-powered or gas-fired. The most common type of power plant is a gas-fired plant.
A power plant typically has four basic parts: the furnace, the boiler, the steam turbine, and the electric generator. The furnace heats natural gas or coal until it becomes very hot and starts to turn into steam. The steam turbine turns the steam into mechanical power. The electric generator converts the mechanical power into electricity.
