About Power Plant Generators

A power plant generator is a large piece of industrial equipment that employs one or more generators to convert mechanical energy into electricity. Most power plant generators burn traditional fuels, such as diesel, coal, heavy fuel oil, or natural gas; however, some models are powered by renewable sources, such as wind, wave, hydroelectric, or solar energy.
