Electricity ka utpadan kai alag tariko se kiya ja sakta hai, aur yeh utpatan vishesh sthitiyon, upkaranon, aur upayog ke adhar par alag hota hai. Yahan kuch pramukh tareeqe hain:
Generator (Utpadan Yantra): Yeh ek pramukh tareeka hai electricity utpadan ka. Generator mein mechanical energy ko electrical energy mein badalne ka kaam hota hai. Steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, aur wind turbines generator ke mukhya components hote hain. Jab yeh turbines ghumti hain, toh generator ke coil mein magnetic field utpann hota hai, jise current me convert kiya jaata hai.
Solar Cells (Saur Urja Se Utpadan): Solar cells (photovoltaic cells) suraj ki kirnon ko seedhe electrical energy mein badalne ka kaam karte hain. Jab suraj ki roshni solar cells par padti hai, toh yeh cells electrons ko harkat mein laate hain aur isse electricity utpadit hoti hai.
Battery: Battery ek storage device hai jo chemical energy ko electrical energy mein badalne mein kaam aati hai. Yeh electricity ko store karke later use ke liye upayukt hoti hai.
Nuclear Power Plants: Nuclear power plants mein nuclear reactions ke dvara heat utpann hoti hai, jo ki phir steam utpadit karti hai. Is steam ko use karke turbines ghumaye jaate hain, aur in turbines ke saath connected generators electricity utpadan karte hain.
Hydroelectric Power Plants: Inme water ki kinetic energy ka upayog electricity utpadan ke liye hota hai. Water turbines ghumti hain, jo generators ko ghumate hain aur electricity utpadan hota hai.
Wind Turbines: Wind turbines mein hawa ki gati se mechanical energy utpann hoti hai, jo generator ke dwara electrical energy mein badal di jaati hai.
Har tareeka apne apne sthitiyon aur upayog ke adhar par vyavhaarit hota hai. Duniya bhar mein alag-alag kshetron mein alag prakar ke utpadan yantra ka istemal hota hai.
