How much does an average electric bill cost for a mrt station?

How is electricity produced at a power station?
In a coal-fired power station, a boiler burns coal to produce steam. The steam makes a turbine spin. The turbine drives an electricity generator. The electricity from the generator is converted to a higher voltage by a transformer. This higher voltage is to enable transmission over long power lines without losing too much energy. When it comes to reach our homes, it is then converted back into lower voltage by other transformers. Nuclear power stations are similar - instead of a coal-fired boiler, a nuclear reactor creates the steam. Wind turbines use the blades to turn the generator.
How much eletricity does 500 wind turbines put out?
Depends on the type and size of the wind turbine and in which area they are set up. Am modern Wind turbine with a + 100 m Rotor and a base over 140 meters high will produce 3+ Megawatts easily
How much electricity produced in one power plant?
Nuclear power plants have been build in several sizes. The nuclear reactor to generate electricity was EBR-1, the Experimental Breeder Reactor number 1 in Idaho. On December 20th 1952 it generated enough electricity to power four light bulbs! On June 27 1954 the Obninisk Nuclear Power Station in the USSR became the first nuclear reactor to provide electricity to an electricity grid. It was a 5MW (electric) reactor. In general the larger a reactor the cheaper the electricity it produces, although larger reactors are arguably less safe than smaller ones. The largest nuclear power plant in the world currently is the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant. It has seven reactors in the gigawatt range, KK-1 to KK-5, which are boiling water reactors with an rated output of 1.067GW(e) each, and KK-6 and KK-7, advanced boiling water reactors each with rated outputs of 1.315GW(e). However these reactors and their associated fuel fabrication facilities have been plagued with problems including management malfeasance, falsification of data and earthquakes. All reactors are currently offline for inspection. a reactor is the cheaper it can produce electricity though, and recent designs have be in the multi-gigawatt range.
How much electricity does the world use in one day?
Total world power as of 2008 was 474 exajoules of energy annually. Currently man creates 80 to 90% of this power through fossil fuels. The remaining 10% comes from nuclear(10 to 18%), wind(<1%), solar(<.2%), geothermal(<.2%) and hydro (3 to 7%). This level of power is the would be the total output of 7500 nuclear reactors (based on average build 1999). This power could also be produced by 800,000 hydro electric plants. Putting wind into scale, they would require 1.8 million towers (and associated fossil fuel backup).
