A thermal power plant is a factory that uses coal, oil and natural gas as fuel to produce electrical energy. Its basic production process is as follows: fuel is burned in the boiler and the heated water is transformed into steam. the fuel is converted into thermal energy. The steam pressure drives the rotation of the steam turbine, the thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy, and then the steam turbine drives the rotation of the generator, converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy. to fuel, coal-fired power plants, oil-fired power plants, gas-fired power plants, waste heat power plants and waste and industrial waste Fuel-fired power plants depending on steam pressure and temperature, medium and low pressure power plants (3.92) MPa, 450 degrees), high pressure power plantssion (9.9 MPa, 540 degrees), ultra high pressure power plants (13.83 MPa, 540 degrees), subcritical pressure power plants (16.77 MPa, 540 degrees), supercritical pressure power plants ( 22.11 MPa, 550 degrees); according to the main engine, condensing steam turbine power plant, gas turbine power plant, internal combustion engine power plant, steam-gas turbine power plant, etc. ; electricity), thermal power plants (electricity production and heat supply) according to the installed capacity of the power plants, small capacity power plants (less than 100 MW), medium capacity power plants (100-250 MW), large and medium capacity power plants ; (250-1,000 MW), large capacity power plants (above 1,000 MW); the largest thermal power plant in China at present: the Zhejiang Beilun Port Power Plant, with an installed capacity of 3 million KW (or 3,000 MW), 5 unitss of 600,000 KW (600MW)).
