Since the steam turbine<\/strong> is a rotary heat engine, it is particularly suited to drive an electrical generator. Note that about 90%<\/strong> of all electricity generation in the world is by use of steam turbines. Steam turbine was invented in 1884 by Sir Charles Parsons<\/strong>, whose first model was connected to a dynamo that generated 7.5 kW (10 hp) of electricity. The steam\u00a0turbine<\/strong> is a common feature of all modern and also future thermal power plants. Also, the power production of fusion power plants is based on the use of conventional steam turbines.<\/p>\n See also: Properties of Steam<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>
