5. Conventional Electric
Power Plants

6. NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
-A nuclear power
plant or nuclear power
station is a thermal power
station.
-The heat source is a nuclear
reactor.
-The heat which is produced
from the fission of
URANIUM or PLUTONIUM
atoms used to generate
steam

8. THERMAL POWER PLANT
-A thermal power
station is a power plant in
which heat energy is
converted to electric
power.
-Water is heated, turns
into steam and spins
a steam turbine.

10. HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT
-The most common type
of hydroelectric power
plant is an impoundment
facility.
-Water released from the
reservoir flows through a
turbine, spinning it, which
in turn activates a
generator to produce
electricity.

12. Non-Conventional
Electric Power
Plants

13. WIND POWER PLANT
-Wind power is the use
of air flow through wind
turbines to mechanically
power generators
for electric power.
-Wind power, as an
alternative to
burning fossil fuels.
-The net effects on the
environment are far less
problematic than those
of nonrenewable
power sources

15. SOLAR POWER PLANT
-Solar power is
the conversion of
energy from sunlight into e
lectricity.
-Either directly
using photovoltaic (PV),
indirectly
using concentrated solar
power, or a combination.

17. GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT
-Geothermal power plants
are plants where energy is
created by the earths
interior heat.
-Effective, reliable,
sustainable &
environmental friendly.

19. OCEAN POWER PLANT
-Ocean power plants
produces energy using the
wave movement of sea
water.
-The generator connected
with the shaft and
produces mechanical
energy to electrical energy.

20. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Thermal power plant:- Air pollution due to fossil fuel
combustion.
Nuclear power plant:- Radiation.
Hydroelectric power plant:- Environmental changes.
Solar power:- Effects on eco system.
Ocean power:- Environmental changes due to
construction under sea.
