Natural gas: natural gas is mixture of gases which are
rich in hydrocarbons.
All those gases (methane, N, co3 …etc) are naturally
Found in atmosphere
Thermal power plants
A thermal plant is power station in which heat energy
is converted to electric power.
Thermal power plants
 Gas power plants
 Diesel power plants
 Steam power plants
Gas power plants: a generating station which employ
gas turbine as the prime mover for the generation of
electrical energy

Working fluid is compressed air

employs a gas Turbine
consist of :
 Compressor
 Combustion chamber
 Gas turbine
 Alternator
 Starting motor

Concept of power plant

A power plant is assembly of system or subsystem to
generate electricity power with economy and
requirement
Energy of fuels- Power plant- Electricity
 Classification of power plants
 Conventional energy generation (none renewable)
 Non-conventional energy generation(renewable)
