1. Coal Thermal Power Plant

- Principle: Utilizes coal combustion for heat generation, subsequently converted into
electricity.

- Operation: Coal is pulverized and burned in a furnace, generating heat to boil water and
produce steam. The high-pressure steam flows through pipes into turbine blades, driving
them to spin. These spinning turbines are connected to generators, which convert
mechanical energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.

2. Oil Thermal Power Plant

- Principle: Relies on oil combustion to produce heat, which is then transformed into
electricity.

- Operation: Oil is injected into a combustion chamber, where it ignites to produce heat.
This heat is used to heat water, generating steam that flows through pipes to drive turbine
blades. The spinning turbines, connected to generators, produce electricity.

3. Dendro Thermal Power Plant

- Principle: Utilizes combustion of organic matter to generate heat, ultimately converted


into electricity.

- Operation: Biomass materials such as wood or agricultural waste are burned in a


combustion chamber, producing heat to boil water and generate steam. The steam drives
turbine blades connected to generators, similar to coal and oil thermal power plants.
4. Nuclear Thermal Power Plant

- Principle: Uses nuclear fission to heat generation, leading to electricity production.

- Operation: Nuclear reactors contain fuel rods made of uranium, undergoing controlled
fission reactions to release heat. This heat boils water to produce steam, which drives
turbine blades connected to generators, thereby generating electricity.

5. Geothermal Power Plant

- Principle: Utilizes Earth's internal heat from underground reservoirs of hot water or steam
to generate electricity.

- Operation: Geothermal power plants extract hot water or steam from underground
reservoirs, bringing it to the surface through wells. The steam is directed towards turbine
blades, causing them to spin and drive generators, converting steam's kinetic energy into
electrical energy.

6. Gas Turbine Power Plant

- Principle: Burns natural gas or fuels directly for turbine propulsion, leading to electricity
generation.

- Operation: Natural gas or fuels are burned in a combustion chamber, producing hot gases
that drive turbine blades directly. These spinning turbines, connected to generators, produce
electricity through electromagnetic induction.

7. Hydroelectric Power Plant

- Principle: Converts flowing water's kinetic energy into electricity.

- Operation: Water from a reservoir or river is channeled through large pipes towards
turbine blades. The force of flowing water causes the turbines to spin, driving generators
connected to them. The generators convert the mechanical energy from the flowing water
into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.
