POWER GENERATION PLANTS ARE CLASSIFIED BY THEIR ENERGY SOURCE, MAINLY SPLIT INTO FOSSIL FUELS (COAL, GAS, OIL), NUCLEAR, AND RENEWABLES (HYDRO, SOLAR, WIND, GEOTHERMAL). MAJOR TYPES INCLUDE COAL-FIRED, GAS, NUCLEAR, HYDROELECTRIC, WIND, SOLAR, AND GEOTHERMAL PLANTS, WHICH GENERATE ELECTRICITY BY SPINNING TURBINES OR USING PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS.

KEY TYPES OF POWER GENERATION PLANTS

THERMAL POWER PLANTS (FOSSIL FUEL & OTHERS):
COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS (PLTU)
BURN COAL TO PRODUCE STEAM, WHICH DRIVES TURBINES TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY.
GAS POWER PLANTS (PLTG)
USE NATURAL GAS TO DRIVE TURBINES FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION.
DIESEL/OIL POWER PLANTS
USE DIESEL ENGINES TO DRIVE GENERATORS, OFTEN FOR STANDBY OR REMOTE POWER.
BIOMASS/BIOGAS POWER PLANTS
BURN ORGANIC MATTER OR USE BIO-GAS TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY.
NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
GENERATE HEAT THROUGH NUCLEAR FISSION IN A REACTOR TO CREATE
STEAM THAT SPINS TURBINES.

RENEWABLE ENERGY PLANTS

HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTS (HYDRO)
HARNESS THE KINETIC ENERGY OF FALLING OR FLOWING WATER TO TURN TURBINES.
WIND POWER PLANTS (PLTB)
USE WIND TURBINES TO CONVERT
KINETIC ENERGY INTO ELECTRICITY.

SOLAR POWER PLANTS

PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) PLANTS:
BCONVERT SUNLIGHT DIRECTLY INTO ELECTRICITY
CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER (CSP):
USE MIRRORS TO CONCENTRATE SUNLIGHT,
CREATING HEAT TO DRIVE STEAM TURBINES.
GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANTS (PLTPB):
UTILIZE STEAM OR HOT WATER FROM INSIDE
THE EARTH TO DRIVE TURBINES.
TIDAL POWER PLANTS:
CAPTURE ENERGY FROM OCEAN TIDES
AND CURRENTS.
