2. Gas-fired power plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-fired_power_plant

   In a simple cycle gas-turbine, also known as open-cycle gas-turbine (OCGT) generators, hot gas drives a gas turbine to generate electricity. This type of plant is relatively cheap to build and can start very quickly, but due to its lower efficiency is at most only run for a few hours a day as a peaking power plant. [8]

3. Combined cycle power plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_cycle_power_plant

   Gas turbines burn mainly natural gas and light oil. Crude oil, residual, and some distillates contain corrosive components and as such require fuel treatment equipment. In addition, ash deposits from these fuels result in gas turbine deratings of up to 15%. They may still be economically attractive fuels however, particularly in combined-cycle ...

   This is a list of the largest operational natural gas-fired power stations in the United States. Chehalis Power Plant, a 698 MW natural gas power plant in Chehalis, Washington. In 2019 there were around 1900 natural gas power stations in the United States, of which about 800 belonged to electric utilities. [1]

5. List of largest power stations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_power_stations

   Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal, fuel oils, nuclear fuel, natural gas, oil shale and peat, while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass, geothermal heat, hydro, solar energy, solar heat, tides and the wind. Only the most significant fuel source is listed for power stations that run on multiple sources.

6. Fossil fuel power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel_power_station

   Coal is an impure fuel and produces more greenhouse gas and pollution than an equivalent amount of petroleum or natural gas. For instance, the operation of a 1000-MWe coal-fired power plant results in a nuclear radiation dose of 490 person-rem/year, compared to 136 person-rem/year for an equivalent nuclear power plant, including uranium mining ...

7. Magnetohydrodynamic generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_generator

   Some authorities believe this system was a disc generator with a helium and argon carrier gas and potassium ionization seed. In 1994, there were detailed plans for FUJI-2, a 5 MWe continuous closed-cycle facility, powered by natural gas, to be built using the experience of FUJI-1. The basic MHD design was to be a system with inert gases using a ...
