Nuclear power plants
This type of plant includes a nuclear fission reactor and the main fuel used is uranium
-
-
The main disadvantage of these power plants is that they generate much less energy, since they use diffuse energy source. Their advantages are that they contaminate much less than conventional power plants.
-
Solar power plants
These plants use the energy from the sun.There are two main types of installations: photo-thermal and photovoltaic power plants.
Geothermal power plants
These plants use the heat found at deep levels in the earth. This heat
may reach the surface in the form of steam, gases or hot water.
-
Ocean power plants
These power plants use the energy from the seas and the oceans.

How do we transport it?
Increasing the voltage to 220 000 V or 400 000 V to prevent energy loss.
Transportig it by high voltage cables attached to towers.
Decreasing the voltage at the electricity substations to 3-30 kV, an then distributing it to homes, offices, industries and public facilities and reducing the voltage to 230-400 V
