  2. Simple cycle combustion turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_cycle_combustion...

    A simple-cycle combustion turbine (SCCT) is a type of gas turbine typically used in the power generation, aviation , and oil and gas industries (for electricity generation and mechanical drives). The simple-cycle combustion turbine follows the Brayton Cycle and differs from a combined cycle operation in that it has only one power cycle (i.e. no ...

  3. Combined cycle power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_cycle_power_plant

    A green hydrogen combined cycle power plant is only about 40% efficient, after electrolysis and reburning for electricity, and is a viable option for energy storage for longer term compared to battery storage. Natural gas power plants could be converted to hydrogen power plants with minimal renovation or do a combined mix of natural gas and ...

  4. Planaria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planaria

    Planaria is a genus of planarians in the family Planariidae. Due to its excellent ability to regenerate, species of Planaria has also been used as model organisms in regeneration studies. [ 1 ] When an individual is cut into pieces, each piece has the ability to regenerate into a fully formed individual. [ 2 ]

  5. Thermal power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_power_station

    A thermal power station, also known as a thermal power plant, is a type of power station in which the heat energy generated from various fuel sources (e.g., coal, natural gas, nuclear fuel, etc.) is converted to electrical energy. [1]

  6. Gas-fired power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-fired_power_plant

    A gas-fired power plant, sometimes referred to as gas-fired power station, natural gas power plant, or methane gas power plant, is a thermal power station that burns natural gas to generate electricity. Gas-fired power plants generate almost a quarter of world electricity and are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. [1]

    The water, held under high pressure to keep it from boiling, produces steam by transferring heat to a secondary source of water. The steam is used to generate electricity. Cooling water from the river condenses the steam back into water. The river water is either discharged directly back to the river or cooled in the towers and reused in the plant.

  9. Peaking power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaking_power_plant

    Peaking power plants, also known as peaker plants, and occasionally just "peakers", are power plants that generally run only when there is a high demand, known as peak demand, for electricity. [1] Because they supply power only occasionally, the power supplied commands a much higher price per kilowatt hour than base load power.
