How power plants work: A simple introduction to how electricity is ..

To help you understand the basic consider a simple process below:

Source of energy=> Mechanical Work => generation of electricity (by generator) => Transmission => User

I suggest you learn the basics to get the detailed grasp of how it works.

1) General Physics (especially Work & Energy theory, Electromagnetism)

2) General Chemistry (Chemical Reactions)

3) Mathematics

4) Thermodynamics ( Carnot, diesel, otto, rankine cycles etc)

5) Fluid dynamics

and a lot more stuff, i suggest you master the basics, it all be repeated at the major courses.

Energy of one form is inserted to the gazinta side, energy of another form is extracted from the gazouta side.
