Electricity-generating
Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy. For electric utility, utilities in the electric power industry, it is the stage prior to its Electricity delivery, delivery (Electric power transmission, transmission, Electric power distribution, distribution, etc.) to end users or its Grid energy storage, storage, using for example, the Pumped-storage hydroelectricity, pumped-storage method. Consumable electricity is not freely available in nature, so it must be "produced", transforming other forms of energy to electricity. Production is carried out in power stations, also called "power plants". Electricity is most often generated at a power plant by electromechanical electric generator, generators, primarily driven by heat engines fueled by combustion or nuclear fission, but also by other means such as the kinetic energy of flowing water and wind. Other energy sources include solar photovoltaics and geothermal power. There are ex ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Petersburg Generating Station
Petersburg Generating Station is a major coal-fired power plant in Indiana, rated at 2.146- GW nameplate capacity. It is located on the White River near Petersburg in Pike County, Indiana, just upstream from a much smaller coal-fired Frank E. Ratts Generating Station. Petersburg G.S. is owned and operated by AES Indiana (formerly known as Indianapolis Power & Light). Units 1, 2, and 3, rated at 281.6, 523.3, and 670.9 MWe, were launched into operation in 1967, 1969, and 1977 respectively. Unit 4, rated at 670.9 MWe, was launched in 1986. There are also three minor oil-burning internal combustion units, rated at 2.7 MWe each, all launched in 1967. The coal is supplied from Bear Run Coal Mine and Gibson Coal Mine. The station plans to switch to natural gas by 2026. A 200 MW / 800 MWh grid battery started operating in 2025.

NiSource
NiSource Inc. is one of the largest fully regulated utility companies in the United States, serving approximately 3.5 million natural gas customers and 500,000 electric customers across six states through its local Columbia Gas and NIPSCO brands. The company, based in Merrillville, Indiana, has more than 8,000 employees. As of 2018, NiSource is the sole Indiana-based utility company. History NiSource was founded in 1912 as the Northern Indiana Public Service Company, which merged with several other companies to become the Columbia Gas and Electric Corporation. Under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, Columbia was forced to reorganize its subsidiaries and eventually spun off its electric utilities, becoming the Columbia Gas System. In 2000, NiSource merged with Columbia Energy Group, but in 2015, NiSource was spun off from Columbia Pipeline Group. The next year, Columbia Pipeline Group was acquired by TransCanada Corporation, while the Columbia Gas distribution compan ...

Michigan City Generating Station
Michigan City Generating Station is a Fossil-fuel power plant, coal and natural gas-fired Power station, power plant located on the shore of Lake Michigan in Michigan City, Indiana, Michigan City, Indiana. It is operated by Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO), owned by NiSource. The station was built on the location of a large sand dune, the Hoosier Slide, which had been removed by mining for glassmaking sand. Future NIPSCO announced plans in 2018 to continue to operate the Michigan City Generating Station in the short term but to allow it to run down, pending final shutdown in approximately 2028. The demolition of the station would free up approximately 1 mile of Lake Michigan lakefront space. Misconception The use of a hyperboloid structure, hyperboloid cooling tower at the station has been mistaken as evidence for a nuclear power plant at this location when in fact there are no nuclear power plants in the state of Indiana. A nuclear power plant was proposed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
