Australian Electric Generation Dominated by
Rotating Machines

Why rotating machines are so important ...


› All forms of energy used to produce electricity in Australia, (apart from
solar photovoltaic – a growing energy source but still very small), utilise
rotating electric machines in the energy conversion process.
› Coal & Gas:
› Chemical energy → Thermal Energy → Mechanical Energy (machines) →
Electric Energy
› Hydro:
› Potential energy → Mechanical Energy (machines) → Electric Energy
› Wind:
› Solar energy → Kinetic Energy → Mechanical Energy (machines) →
