In the electric grid, power plants usually include coal-fired power plants, hydroelectric power plants, nuclear power plants, wind farms and solar power plants. In areas with limited hydropower resources, thermal power plants constitute important coal-fired power plants, gas-fired power plants, thermal power plants and various power plants fueled by garbage and industrial wastes.
According to pioneer
Condensing turbine power plant, gas turbine power plant, steam and gas turbine power plant, etc.
According to the output energy points
Condensing steam power plants (for electricity generation only), thermal power plants (for electricity generation and heating).
By steam pressure and temperature
Low temperature and low pressure power station (1.4 MPa, 350 degrees), medium and medium voltage power station (3.92 MPa, 450 degrees), high temperature and high pressure power station (9.9 MPa, 540 degrees), ultra high pressure power station (13.83 MPa, 540 degrees), subcritical power station (16.77 MPa, 540 degrees), Supercritical pressure power plant (22.11 MPa, 550 degrees); Supercritical pressure power plant (31 mpa, 600 degrees).
By installed capacity of power plant
Small power plants (less than 100 MW), medium power plants (100-250 MW), medium and large power plants (250-1000 MW), high power plants (more than 1000 MW).
