1. Fossil fuel power plants: These plants use coal, natural gas, or oil as their primary fuel source. The fuel is burned to produce heat, which turns water into steam. The steam then drives a turbine to generate electricity.
2. Nuclear power plants: These plants use radioactive uranium fuel to produce heat. The heat is used to turn water into steam, which then drives a turbine to generate electricity.
3. Hydroelectric power plants: These plants use the energy of falling water to drive a turbine to generate electricity.
4. Solar power plants: These plants use solar panels to convert the energy of sunlight into electricity.
5. Wind power plants: These plants use turbines to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity.
6. Geothermal power plants: These plants use the heat from the Earth's interior to turn water into steam, which then drives a turbine to generate electricity.
