Statistics of power plants

INTRODUCTION

Power systems are classified into three types such as generation, transmission and distribution. Now-a-days the electricity plays a vital role, without electricity it is unable to assume the world. Based on electricity many functions are made to be run throughout the world. In this session you learn about an overview of generating system and generating stations.

*In India there are many power stations which generates electricity by using coal, wind, water, tidal, nuclear, gas. Among all of these the most priority for generating electricity is given to

1. Coal power plant

2. Nuclear power plant

3. Hydal power plant

4. Wind forms

5. Gas power plant

6. Diesel power plant

7. Others

The power generation are two types based on environmental conditions, one is eco-friendly and other is eco-enemy. The list of power plants are shown below:

The design of power plant should be incorporate to important aspects:

1. The selection & placing of power generating system based on minimum expenditure.

2. Operation of plant should be provide cheap and reliable.

*The generating station essentially employs a prime mover coupled to an alternator for production of electric power.

*In generating stations one form of energy is converted into another form, for example take a wind turbine the mechanical energy excerted by wind is converted to electrical energy.

*Depending upon the conversions of energy the power stations are classified into different types as listed below:

1. Coal power plant

2. Nuclear power plant

3. Hydal power plant

4. Wind forms

5. Gas power plant

6. Diesel power plant

7. Biogas power plant

8. Geo thermal power plant

9. Tidal power

10. Garbage power plant (electricity production through Garbage)
