Title: Describe the conversion of energy sources (all sources) to electricity.
Course: Energy and Power (20101-36) > Section: Generating Electricity

Description should include the following processes:

- Thermal energy (e.g., steam) is converted to mechanical energy, which is converted to electrical energy.
- Mechanical energy (e.g., water wheel, wind mill) is converted to electrical energy.
- Chemical energy is converted directly to electrical energy.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are different ways of spinning a turbine?
- Why is water so important to energy production?
- How do thermal, mechanical, and chemical compare to each other in terms of overall efficiency?
