which type types of power generation involve maximum number of steps of energy conversion in which power generation is the number minimum
Answers
Thermal power plants are the power generation plant that needs the maximum steps in energy conversion.
In a thermal power plant, the heat is transferred into gaseous form and then into electricity which involves a number of steps. These power station also include conversion of energy from mechanical power into electrical power.
The motion between the magnetic field creates current. Lord Armstrong in England designed the first station in 1870.

Answer:
The types of power generation involving maximum number of steps of energy conversion are:
(i) Thermal energy based power generation: It involves 5 steps of energy conversion.
Chemical energy in coal→thermal energy→kinetic energy in steam→kinetic energy in turbine→electrical energy
(ii) Nuclear energy based power generation: It also involves 5 steps of energy conversion.
Nuclear energy→thermal energy→kinetic energy in steam→kinetic energy in turbine→electrical energy
The power generation using solar photovoltaic cell involves least number of steps of energy conversion. It involves only two steps of energy conversion.
Energy in sunlight→electric energy
