Investigation various type of power plants from economic, technical and environmental aspects

Navid Heydari

Abstract


Energy plays a special role in economic growth, social welfare, improving the quality of life and security of a society. Power plants are one of the world's major energy suppliers, a set of industrial facilities that use other energy sources to generate electricity. Power plants use other forms of energy to generate electricity, such as fossil fuel energy, chemical energy, renewable energy, nuclear energy, and gravitational potential energy. There are different types of power plants, the main of which are: steam power plant, gas turbine power plant, combined cycle power plant; nuclear power plant, hydroelectric power plant and wind power plant, in this study, their advantages and disadvantages from economic, technical and environmental
aspects were compared and analyzed. In general, the results showed that each of the mentioned power plants has its own characteristics, so their selection should be based on technical, economic and environmental conditions in each city or country. For example, among these power plants, although hydropower plants have the highest efficiency (about 80%) and are environmentally friendly, but their construction cost is high, or combined cycle power plants and nuclear power plants, although relatively good efficiency is about 35%, but due to their technological complexity, there are
restrictions on their use.


Keywords
