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
