CLASSIFICATION OF POWER PLANTS

4. INTRODUCTION
THERMAL POWER PLANTS
Ø Converts heat energy(chemical energy) into electricity.
Ø Fuels used: Usually fossil Fuels- Coal, Oil, Natural Gas etc.
Ø Coal burning produces the heat, used to convert the water to high pressure steam in a boiler.
Ø High pressure steam is expanded in a steam turbine converting pressure energy into kinetic
energy of the rotating turbine.
Ø Largest contributors in electricity production in India (71%).
Ø High Initial set-up cost
Ø Very high carbon footprint.
Ø Causes very high environmental pollution
Ø Requires large quantity of conventional fossil fuel
& water
Ø Slowly being replaced by Solar/ Nuclear Plants

5. WORKING OF A THERMAL POWER PLANT
Thermal power plants produce electricity by converting the chemical energy of a fossil fuel into
electricity. The fuel burnt in the boiler hets water to produce steam. The steam at high pressure and
temperature expands through a steam turbine rotating the turbine shaft the produce electricity in a
generator. The expanded steam is cooled, condensed and fed into the boiler again to produce steam
