Nuclear power plant (NPP) – a station in which the production of electricity (or thermal energy) occurs due to the operation of a nuclear reactor. In 2015, all nuclear power plants in the world produced almost 11% of electricity. During operation, a nuclear reactor transfers energy to the primary coolant. This coolant enters the steam generator, where it heats the […]
Hydroelectric power plant (HPP)
A hydroelectric power plant (HPP) is a power plant that converts the energy of moving water into electrical energy. Hydroelectric power plants are being installed on rivers. With the help of the dam, a water height difference is created (before and after the dam). The resulting water pressure drives the turbine blades. The turbine drives generators that generate electricity. Depending […]
