- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
