The basic similarity between typical electric generating stations is the conversion of shaft mechanical power to electrical power in a generator. The major difference comes from the method used to produce the shaft mechanical power. There are four principle methods of obtaining this shaft power in general use: - hydraulic turbines, - fossil fuel steam turbines, - nuclear steam turbines, and - gas turbines. 1, record 1, English, - nuclear%20steam%20turbine

Toutes les centrales électriques fonctionnent selon le même principe : de l'énergie mécanique est communiquée via un arbre, à un générateur qui la transforme en énergie électrique. Seule la source d'énergie les différentie. Les quatre sources les plus répandues sont : - les turbines hydrauliques, - les turbines à vapeur alimentées par des combustibles fossiles, - les turbines à vapeur alimentées par l'énergie nucléaire, - les turbines à gaz. 1, record 1, French, - turbine%20%C3%A0%20vapeur%20aliment%C3%A9e%20par%20l%27%C3%A9nergie%20nucl%C3%A9aire
