electricity generation
The process of converting other forms of energy, such as from coal, wind, sun, or nuclear power, into electrical energy.
Die Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien hat in den letzten Jahren stark zugenommen.
Electricity generation from renewable energies has increased sharply in recent years.
This word is a compound of 'Strom' (electricity) and 'Erzeugung' (generation/production). So it describes exactly the process by which electricity is produced.
Die Sicherheit bei der Stromerzeugung hat oberste Priorität.
Safety in electricity generation has top priority.
The word 'Erzeugung' (generation/production) is the nominalization of the verb 'erzeugen' (to produce, to manufacture). Many German nouns ending in '-ung' are derived from verbs in this way and describe an action or its result.
Ein Kraftwerk erzeugt Strom.
A power plant generates electricity.
Very often, the energy source is named with the preposition 'aus' (from), for example 'Stromerzeugung aus Windkraft' (electricity generation from wind power) or 'aus Kohle' (from coal). Adjectives that often occur are 'erneuerbare' (renewable), 'nachhaltige' (sustainable), or 'konventionelle' (conventional) Stromerzeugung.
Deutschland will den Anteil der Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien weiter erhöhen.
Germany wants to further increase the share of electricity generation from renewable energies.
