Power generation operators or plant operators are at the source of the electricity production controlling the machinery that generates electricity. Power generation operators are in charge of the control and monitoring of boilers, turbines, generators, and auxiliary equipment in power-generating plants. In detail, it means that these plant technicians have to distribute power demands among generators, combine the current from several generators, and monitor instruments to maintain voltage and regulate electricity flow from the plant. If the power requirements change, power generation operators have to start or stop generators and connect or disconnect them from circuits.
