A power plant contains one or more electric generators - machines that convert mechanical energy into electrical. Therefore electric generators used in power plants to produce AC electric power are popularly called as alternators. The first advantage AC power has over DC is in power transmission. AC also has an advantage when it comes to power consumption.
