Hi Deux.

he three main types of Power Plants are -

  • Hydroelectric power plants : generate power using the force of water to turn generators.  A common example is river Dams.
  • Thermal Power Plants : are split into two different categories; those that create electricity by burning fuel and those that create electricity via prime mover. A common example of a thermal power plant that produces electricity by the consumption of fuel is the nuclear power plant.
  • Solar Power Plants : derive their energy from sunlight, which is made accessible via PhotoVoltaics (PVs). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics)
