• Thermal Power Plant :
It converts heat energy into electrical energy. The water is heated into steam, then produces electricity by using electrical generator and recycled this process through steam turbine.
The different types of heat sources :-
* Fossil Fuels
* Nuclear energy
* Solar energy
* Biofuels
• Nuclear Power Plant :
In this power plant, the combination of nuclear reactors which the heat generated by the reactors converts water into steam then spins a turbine and generate electricity by process of nuclear fission.
• Hydel Power Plant :
In this power plant, the mechanical energy converts into electrical energy. The water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, then spins a generator to produce electricity.
In this process of generating a electricity, uses a dam to store river water in a reservoir.
• Wind Power Plant :
In this power plant, the process of generating electricity is used to placed high wind areas when the wind comes to the turbine blades then causes them to rotate by forcing wind to create mechanical energy converts into electrical energy.
Wind farms are mostly placed in high hills area because it's works like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blades.
• Solar Power Plant.
In this power plant, the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity. The combination of concentrated solar energy and photovoltaics (PV) used a mirrors and solar tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect.
This power plant consumed large number of areas and heated place.
The main disadvantage of this power plant is not working at night and costly.
