In the diagram below we see a simplified example of how a steam energy turbine works. Here is a simple step by step guide: (1) A heat source of some sort — perhaps a combusted fossil fuel or solar heat — is used to create heat energy. (2) The boiler, which contains water, uses the heat energy to convert the water into high pressure steam.
