DEFINITION
Hydraulic Energy / Thermal Energy -> Mechanical Energy -> Electrical Energy
TYPES OF POWER PLANTS
1.BASED ON INPUT ENERGY /FUEL
(a.)COAL thermal Power Plants
(b.) HYDRAULIC Power Plants
(c.) NUCLEAR Power Plants
(d.) GEOTHERMAL Power Plants
(e.) SOLAR Power Plants
(f.)WIND power plants
(g.)BIOMASS power plant
COAL THERMAL POWER PLANT
In coal thermal power plants
The heat produce by burning
fossil fuel materials boils water
and transform it into steam.
The steam is then piped to a
turbine. -The impulses of
turbine moves the turbine. -
Finally, steam is condensed
and move into the boiler to
repeat the cycle.
Rotation of the turbine rotates
the generator to produce
electricity.
HYDRAULIC POWER PLANT
The hydroelectric
power plants are
stations where energy
is produced by the
force of falling water
The water moves a
turbine connected to
a generator that
collect the energy that
water creates
NUCLEAR THERMAL POWER PLANT
The heat is
produced by fission
in a nuclear reactor
(a light water
reactor). Directly or
indirectly, water
vapour (steam) is
produced. The
pressurized steam
is then usually fed
to a multi-stage
steam turbine.
GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT
Geothermal electricity
is electricity
generated from
geothermal energy.
Technologies in use
include dry steam
power plants, flash
steam power plants
and binary cycle
power plants.
SOLAR POWER PLANT
That kind of power plants creates
energy by transforming the heat
and light from the sun.
There are Two types:-
