In simple terms: The primary energy resource (coal, oil, gas, uranium, solar, etc..) is used to produce lots of heat which converts water into steam containing very high heat energy. The steam is passed through turbines which causes them to turn, producing mechanical energy from the heat energy that is lost as as the steam changes back into water. The turning tubines drive the generators to produce electricity.
In a power station, electricity is typically generated by spinning a turbine connected to a generator. The turbine is spun by various means, such as by steam produced by burning fossil fuels or from nuclear reactions, or by the force of flowing water in hydroelectric plants. As the turbine spins, the generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is then sent to the grid for distribution.
