What type of power stations are there?

Tidal power stations, coal based power stations, gas based power stations , hydroelectric power stations , OTEC (Ocean thermal energy conversion), solar plant

Different types of power stations are:

a) Thermal

b) Hydro

c) Nuclear

d) Tidal

e) PV

f) Wind

Gas Firing and diesel firing

1. thermal power plant
2. bio gas power plant
3. nuclear power plant
4. hydal power plant 
5. tidal power plant
6. solar power plant 
7. windmill plants

Nuclear Power Plants

Wind Mills Power Plants

For Local Generation, Diesel Generators

Solar Energy Plants

Mobile Thermal Plants Mounted on Ships

You can divide electrical power plants as follows:

First, steam stations (which use steam turbines) Steam Turbines

These stations are divided into four types in terms of fuel used

1. fossil fuels Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) and most of the existing plants in Egypt and in the world of this kind and this picture of one of these stations

steam power plant

2-nuclear fuel Nuclear Turbines such a plant

3-geothermal energy Geothermal power plants like this station

4-solar plants Solar-heated steam and this image of one of the mirrors in solar power plant

Solar-heated steam

This kind of Altorbinat- I mean turbine Alboukharah- depends on the steam that is, to spin the turbine we get steam with high temperature "steam roasted" This introduces steam to the blades the turbine and then spin the turbine and spins with the generator to produce electricity, the difference between these types lies in how get steamed Do you get it from fossil fuel or nuclear fuel or heat in the ground or through solar energy

Second: hydraulic turbines Hydro turbines

This type of turbine rotation depends on the rushing water of the highest energy to run the turbine and then the generator of this type is divided into two parts

1. dams and rivers Dams and rivers such as the High Dam and this scheme illustrates the idea simply

hydro power plant

 2. Storage pumps Pump storage and the idea that you simply store the water in a high place to exploit later in the turbine see management's Below

Pump storage power plant

Third: Altoranat gas Combustion turbines

This type often do not have a major source of electricity, but is considered a secondary source and supports this kind on the idea of ​​internal combustion engines internal combustion engines, such as car engine is simply like a car engine and connected to a generator to run by and divided this type into 3 sections in terms of fuel used

 1. Diesel Diesel This type most famous and well-known diesel generators and the image of one of the diesel generators

2-Natural Gas Natural Gas

3-vehicle Combined cycle session which is simply a two both gas turbines and a steam turbine and a simplified form of this session of the vehicle

Combined cycle

Fourth: Wind turbines wind turbines

  It is clear from the name they rely on wind turbines in the movement and the image of a wind turbine farms

Fifth: direct solar energy Solar direct - photovoltaic

 This method is quite different from the rest of the roads and you may remember the fourth type of gas turbine was by solar energy, but in the way I was using the sun to get the temperature heats steam, but this time there is no originally turbine but the energy is generated directly from this magical slides named photovoltaic this is one of the stations that have a large number of these slides

The overview of the electric power generating stations and types of this look and will, God willing, we are talking about individual species in detail in the coming lessons here in the blog engineers.
