Learning Outcomes

8. Power Plants
• A power plant is an industrial facility that generates electricity from primary
energy. Most power plants use one or more generators that convert
mechanical energy into electrical energy in order to supply power to the
electrical grid for society's electrical needs.
• In its simplest form, a Power Plant, known also as a Power Station, is an
industrial facility used to generate electricity.
• To generate power, a power plant needs to have an energy source
• One source of energy is from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and
natural gas.
Definition

9. Classification of Power plants
• Power plants are classified into those using traditional and nontraditional
energy resources.
• Steam power plants
• Gas power plants
• Diesel power plants
• Hydroelectric power plants
• Nuclear power plants
• Power from alternative sources of energy
