System architecture and design of a power plant. Introduction: A power plant is a means for converting the potential energy (wind‚ solar or chemical) into electrical energy. In its simplest form it consists of steam generation equipment (boiler or nuclear reactor) and a turbine driving an electrical generator. The energy sources available in the world include coal‚ oil‚ gas‚ nuclear‚ hydroelectric‚ wind‚ solar‚ refuse-based and biomass. We can broadly categorize power plants into the following
