What is power plant

 　　If you want to know what a power plant boiler is, and the function of power plant boiler, the first thing we need to know is the power plant. Electrical energy is the most convenient form of energy since it can be transported with ease, generated in a number of different ways, and can be converted into mechanical work or heat energy as and when required. Electricity is a secondary energy source, which means that electricity is obtained from the conversion of other primary sources of energy, such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar, or wind energy. The power plant is the location in which the energy conversions take place. An power plant converts some form of raw energy (such as water, steam, diesel, and gas) into electrical energy for fixed installations or transportation (nuclear power plants, wind power plants, solar power plants, etc.) .

　　Types of power plant

　　Thermal power plants: Generates electric power by burning coal, natural gas, diesel and biomass fuel.

　　Nuclear power plants: Controlled nuclear reaction is maintained to generate electricity.

　　Hydroelectric power plants: Electricity is produced by building dams on suitable rivers.

　　Wind power plants: The kinetic energy of wind is used to create power.

　　Solar power plants: Generates power by collecting solar radiation.

　　Geothermal power plants: Uses the natural heat found in the deep levels of the earth to generate electricity.

　　Biomass power plants: Natural organic matter is burnt to produce electricity.

　　We'll always need energy and especially electricity. Environmental pressures are already forcing many countries to close coal-fired power plants that produce the greatest carbon dioxide emissions (responsible for climate change and global warming). Biomass power plants have become a new trend, and more and more countries and regions encourage biomass power generation. Nuclear plants might offer the cleanest route to a low-carbon future. In the short term, The majority of new electric power generating plants now use natural gas, which produces lower emissions than other fossil-fueled stations. Other trends are also becoming important, notably a shift toward smaller plants driven by combined heat and power (CHP).
