THERMAL POWER PLANTS

Facilities that generate electricity using specific fuels or natural heat sources are called thermal power plants. Coal power plants (thermal power plants), nuclear power plants, geothermal power plants, power plants using solar heat (those using light are not considered in this scope), natural gas cycle power plants and power plants using different wastes as fuel are included in this scope (bioenergy, garbage plants, etc.). Power plants using natural gas, fuel oil and coal are classified as fossil fuel power plants. In thermal power plants, efficiency is increased by utilizing waste heat. Such systems are called co-generation systems. This waste heat can be used for many purposes such as industry, agriculture, residential heating, etc. Non-nuclear plants without co-generation systems are called conventional power plants.

THERMAL POWER PLANTS

Coal is the most common fossil fuel in the world. In general, it stands out as relatively low-cost systems in energy production. It is widely used especially in countries with large coal deposits such as China and India. In addition, while other fossil fuels used in energy production can be used in many different ways in industry, coal is unlikely to be a substitute fuel. Therefore, existing coal is generally utilized in thermal power plants. Although it is possible to produce gas from coal, this method has been abandoned due to its high cost.

Thermal power plants generate energy by the methods generally used in other thermal power plants. The fuel burned is used to evaporate water and the steam produced turns the turbines. Thermal power plants are usually built close to coal deposits. The main problem with thermal power plants is the damage they cause to the environment. In addition to flue gases, the particles emitted also pose a threat.
