Coal fired
These fossil fuel power stations burn coal to powersteam turbine
A steam turbine is a machine that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. Its modern manifestation was invented by Charles Parsons in 1884. Fabrication of a modern steam turbin ...

Gas turbine
These gas turbine power stations use gas combustion to generate some or all of the electricity they produce. Combined cycle
A combined cycle power plant is an assembly of heat engines that work in tandem from the same source of heat, converting it into mechanical energy. On land, when used to make electricity the most common type is called a combined cycle gas turb ...
plants include an Open Cycle Gas Turbine, plus a Heat Recovery Steam Generator that uses waste heat from the gas turbine to make steam to drive a Steam Turbine

These hydroelectric
Hydroelectricity, or hydroelectric power, is electricity generated from hydropower (water power). Hydropower supplies one sixth of the world's electricity, almost 4500 TWh in 2020, which is more than all other renewable sources combined and ...
power stations use the flow of water to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.
Wind farms
These Wind Farms use the power of wind to turn wind turbines to generate all of the electricity they produce.
Solar
These power stations convert light into electricity using the photovoltaic effect.Biomass combustion
