POWER PLANTS
A power plant is an industrial facility for
the generation of electric power.
It actually contains a generator that
converts mechanical power into electric
power.
It depends on fuel used in it.
2
Types of Power Plants
There are five types of power plants that are working in Pakistan.
• Thermal Power Plant• Hydropower Plant• Wind Power Plant• Solar Power Plant
• Nuclear Power Plant

1. Thermal Power Plant
It is the
power plant
in which
water is
heated and
turned into
steam that
spins a
turbine
which drives
an electric
generator.4

It is used for
production of
electrical power
through the use
of gravitational
force of falling
or flowing
water.
It generates
electricity by
dams, tidal
waves,
underground
plants and
rivers.6

3. Wind Power Plant
It is used to
convert wind
energy into useful
energy i.e. using
Wind turbines
for electric
power
Windmills for
mechanical
power
Winds pump for
drainage
Sails to propel
ships8

Solar energy
can be
turned into
electricity
either by
solar cells or
in solar
power plants
by focusing
light to run
engines
using
photoelectric
effect.10
