Advantages
1).Fuel used is cheaper.
2).Smaller space is required to hydro power plant.
3).Economical in initial cost compared to hydro plants.
4).Thermal plants can be placed near load centres unlike hydro and nuclear plants.
5).plants can withstand for certain extent.
Disadvantages
1).requires higher maintenance and operational costs.
2).pollution of atmosphere.
3).huge requirement of water.
4).Handling of coal and disposal of ash is quite difficult.
5).Efficiency of thermal plant is less (30-35%).

How do the three types of power plants make electricity?
Nuclear, coal-fired, and hydroelectric power plants provide electricity.
How much carbon does coal fired electricity plants produce?
65% about Cheers M
Largest size thermal power plant in India?
More than 65% of India's electricity generation capacity comes from thermal power plants, with about 85% of the country's thermal power generation being coal-based. The 10 largest thermal power stations operating in India are all coal-fired, with seven of them owned and operated by state-run National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).
How efficient are thermal power stations?
Coal fired plants about 40 percent, nuclear reactors (PWR) about 33 percent
Thermal efficiency in a coal fired power plant?
It can be up to 40 percent in modern plants, less in old ones
What is oil fired thermal power plant?
An oil fired thermal power plant is one which heats up oil so as to supply the heat needed to heat water and produce steam. They differ from nuclear power plants which rely on nuclear fusion.
How is electricity generated in south south?
Power Plants! Fossil fired / coal fired Nuclear No Hydro electrical No Wind powered Solar Panels in some houses
How efficient is nuclear?
Nuclear power plants such as PWR and BWR have a thermal efficiency around 33 percent. The best fossil fired plants are around 40 percent efficient.
Where do cars get their energy from?
It comes from storage batteries. Those batteries are recharged by either an engine or from the electric grid. Electricity from the electric grid comes from Hydro electric plants, coal fired plants, gas fired plants, wind power turbines, or solar energy.

Where do you get your electricity from?
Electricity is mainly generated by coal/oil-fired plants, nucealr plants, hydroelectric dams, wind farms and tidal power generators.Some areas have few or none of some forms while focusing or relying on others.
What method of generating electrical energy results in electricity that is easily distributed to where it is needed when it is needed?
using coal-fired power plants
