Types of Power Plant Projects
Types of Power Plants include: Combined Cycle, Coal Thermal, Hydraulic, Nuclear, Geothermal Solar, Wind, Biomass Power Plant and more.
The types of power plants are categorized according to the fuel they use, including coal, natural gas, petroleum, nuclear, and renewable sources.
Large-scale power plants, including combined-cycle, coal thermal, hydraulic, and nuclear facilities, typically have capacities over 1,000 MW and are classified as megaprojects.
Combined Cycle Power Plant
Combined Cycle Power Plant compose of Gas Turbine (G/T) → HRSG → Steam Turbine(S/T) → Generator → Cooling tower → Substation(Transformer)
CCPP produces up to 50 % more electrical efficiency by using G/T and S/T together.
Thermal Power Plant / Combustion Power Plants
Thermal power plants, also known as combustion power plants, generate mechanical power by using a steam boiler fueled by coal, natural gas, or heating oil. This specific type of thermal plant does not use a gas turbine and relies solely on a steam-driven cycle. Coal is the most common fuel for thermal power plants because it is the most abundant and relatively cheap fossil fuel.
Hydraulic Power Plant
Water with high pressure flows through large steel pipes called pressurized water pipes, creating giant water columns with great pressure going inside the factory.
Strong flowing water turns the generator's turbine; mechanical energy is converted into electricity.
The generated electricity passes through the transformer to generate a high voltage current.
High-voltage current is then connected to the electricity distribution network and transmitted to cities.
