Power generation equipment refers to machinery designed to convert primary energy into electrical energy. The operating principle of a generator is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction; it converts mechanical energy (such as that derived from water, wind, or the thermal energy of fuels) into electrical energy through the relative motion between a rotating magnetic field and a coil.
Engines used for power generation are prime movers specifically designed to drive generators to produce electricity. Based on fuel type, these engines are primarily categorized into diesel engines, gas engines, and engines utilizing new types of fuel.
