Прочтите и переведите текст; скажите, на каких станциях можно вырабатывать электроэнергию, используйте словосочетания due to, according to

1. Electric power is generated at electric power plants. The main unit of an electric power plant comprises a prime mover and the generator which it rotates. In order to actuate the prime mover energy is required. Many different sources of energy are in use nowadays. To these sources belong heat obtained by burning fuels, pressure due to the flow of air (wind), solar heat, etc.

2. According to the kind of energy used by the prime mover, power plants are divided into groups. Thermal, hydraulic (water-power) and wind plants form these groups.

3. According to the kind of prime mover, electric power plants are classed as

a) Steam turbine plants, where steam turbines serve as prime movers. The main generating units at steam turbine plants are the turbogenerators. Steam turbine plants belong to the modern, high-capacity class of power plants.

b) Steam engine plants, in which the prime mover is a pistontype steam engine. Nowadays no large generating plants of industrial importance are constructed with such prime movers. They are used only for local power supply.

c) Diesel-engine plants in them diesel internal combustion engines are installed. These plants are also of small capacity, they are employed for local power supply.

d) Hydroelectric power plants employ water turbines as prime movers. Therefore they are called hydroturbine plants. Their main generating unit is the hydrogenerator.

4. Modern wind-electric power plants utilize various turbines; these plants as well as the small capacity hydroelectric power plants are widely used in agriculture.
