Thermal power plants T hermal power plants are commonly used in India A thermal power station is a power station in which heat energy is converted to electric power. A steam-driven turbine converts heat to mechanical power as an intermediate to electrical power. Water is heated, turns into steam and drives a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. A coal based thermal power plant converts the chemical energy of the coal into electrical energy. This is a done by raising the steam in the boilers, expanding it through the turbine and coupling the turbines to the generators which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Components of thermal power plant Fundamental steam power plant components are Fuel handling plant, water treatment plant, ID fan, PA fan, Chimney, Water treatment plant, Steam Boiler system, Turbine, Mobrey Switch, Fusible Plug, Fluidized bed combustor, APH, economizer, generators, ash handling plant, dust collector system, condenser, cooling towe...

  HYDRO POWER PLANTS Hydro power  plants convert potential energy into mechanical energy through water turbines, which then generate electricity.   Dams are used to store river water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows down hill through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity. Water stored in reservoirs provides flexibility to generate electricity on demand and reduces dependence on the variability of inflow. ADVANTAGES OF HYDRO POWER PLANT Hydro power plant is fueled by water. Hydro power is a sustainable fuel source, hydro power plants provides no.of benefits, such as flood control, irrigation, and water supply. Hydro power plant won't pollute the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas.

  NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS Nuclear power plants generate a high amount of electricity, Using a nuclear fission reaction and uranium as fuel. As compare to renewable sources of energy such as solar & wind, the power generation from nuclear power plants is also more reliable . Nuclear energy sources have a higher density than fossil fuels and release large amounts of energy , Due to which, nuclear power plants require low quantities of fuel but produce a large amount of power. List of Nuclear Power Plants in India 1.
