Coloane A Power Station
The Coloane A Power Station (CCA; ) is a low-speed diesel-fired power station in Coloane, Macau, China. With an installed capacity of 271.4 MW, it is the largest power station in Macau. History The power station was commissioned on 28 November 1978. Road access To ease the access leading to the power station, the Government of Macau approved the new construction of access road in 2009. The road was completed a year later and was inaugurated on 16 September 2010. The new gate is expected to make things more convenient for staffs, suppliers and visitors. The road was constructed for the lay down area for the underground high voltage cable and vehicular access at the initial stage after Coloane B Power Station was completed. 2015 blast On 26 April 2015 at 10:30 a.m., there was a blast at the power station on its G08 generation unit, causing injury to one of its personnel who was carrying out periodic maintenance. Generation The power station installed capacity makes up 58% o ...

Power Station
A power station, also referred to as a power plant and sometimes generating station or generating plant, is an industrial facility for the generation of electric power. Power stations are generally connected to an electrical grid. Many power stations contain one or more generators, a rotating machine that converts mechanical power into three-phase electric power. The relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor creates an electric current. The energy source harnessed to turn the generator varies widely. Most power stations in the world burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas to generate electricity. Low-carbon power sources include nuclear power, and an increasing use of renewables such as solar, wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric. History In early 1871 Belgian inventor Zénobe Gramme invented a generator powerful enough to produce power on a commercial scale for industry. In 1878, a hydroelectric power station was designed and built b ...
