Metal Print : Power station turbine hall
Metal Prints From Science Photo Library
Power station turbine hall
Power station turbine hall. View, from one of the chimneys, of the turbine hall (white, lower centre) and the electricity grid substation (upper centre), at a coal-fired power station. The burning of coal drives the turbines to generate electricity. This is distributed through the electricity substation into the national grid system. This is the Drax power station near Selby, North Yorkshire, UK. This view looks east from the smaller of the two Drax chimneys. As of 2006, Drax is the largest, cleanest and most efficient of the UKs coal-fired power stations. It can burn 36, 000 tones of coal a day to produce 4, 000 megawatts of power, around 7% of the UKs electricity needs. It was built from 1974-1986. For a view of the chimney, see T190/454

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the impressive power station turbine hall at Drax, a coal-fired power station located near Selby in North Yorkshire, UK. From the vantage point of one of the towering chimneys, we are granted a mesmerizing view of this technological marvel. The turbine hall stands prominently in the center, its white structure contrasting against the industrial backdrop. Adjacent to it is the electricity grid substation, responsible for distributing the generated electricity into the national grid system. The burning of coal within this colossal facility propels massive turbines that tirelessly generate electricity. As of 2006, Drax proudly holds the title as not only Britain's largest but also cleanest and most efficient coal-fired power station. Its remarkable capacity allows it to consume an astounding 36,000 tonnes of coal daily while producing an impressive 4,000 megawatts of power – approximately fulfilling 7% of the nation's electricity needs. Constructed between 1974 and 1986 with cutting-edge technology and engineering prowess, Drax symbolizes both progress and responsibility in energy production during our modern era. This photograph serves as a testament to mankind's ability to harness fossil fuels like coal while striving for cleaner alternatives. Through this image captured by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into how large-scale industrial buildings such as Drax Power Station play a crucial role in meeting society's ever-growing demand for electrical energy without compromising environmental sustainability or efficiency standards.
