How long does it take for various types of power plant to respond to energy demand?

Some plants do not respond; they just produce power or not. Others can produce more power or less. Another issue to consider is whether a plant runs continuously or not.
Solar and Wind produce power when the sun shines or the wind blows respectively. They do not respond to demand. If their power is put into batteries, however, the batteries respond well to demand. Storage batteries need not be chemical, but can be kinetic also, or even thermal, but it us usually not included in the plan as it is expensive.
Hydro power can respond to changes in demand rather quickly. It can also operate continuously under normal circumstances.
Fossil Fuel plants can usually respond quickly.
Nuclear plants produce power whether it is used or not. They can produce more or less power, but usually produce more than is needed, making changes for fluctuations unnecessary. They typically operate for a year and a half, and then close for a month. During that time they cannot be restarted.

How does the transformation of energy take place in hydropower plant station?
The transformation of energy take place in hydropower plant includes:Potential energy -> kinetic energy-> electrical energy
What is the energy transformation in the solar power plant?
solar (photovoltaic) power plant > radiant energy from the sun > converted to electrical energy
What forms of energy does biomass use?
Biomass means plant growth of various sorts, all plants use solar energy to grow through photosynthesis, and chemicals in the soil or applied as fertiliser. Biomass provides thermal energy, when it is used ie burned
Which energy transformation occurs first in a coal burning power plant?
which energy transformation occurs first in a coal burning power plant
What are the beginning and ending energies of a power plant?
The starting energy is anything that the power plant uses: nuclear energy, chemical energy, potential energy (for hydraulic plants), etc. The energy output is normally electrical energy.
What does the mitochondria do in an animal and plant cell?
The mitochondria produce energy for the cell's various functions.
How does plant respond to light?
Usually plants respond to light by turning toward it.
Does a plant respond to light?
A plant will usually respond to light by photosyntesizing, or making it's own food off of it. I hope I answered your question. -Teek.
Would a plant respond faster to soap or apple cider vinegar?

What makes an organism respond to stimuli?
plant and animals
Is it true that plants respond to human stimulus?
No! plant respond to stimuli gradually not promptly as humans experienced.
What cell traps sun energy and makes energy for plant?
Mesophyll Plant cell traps sun energy for plant.
What collects light energy that gets converted into chemical energy?
Chlorophylls A and B, as well as various other pigments in chloroplasts that help to absorb and diffuse light before it damages the plant.
What type of energy does a dead plant have?
No, a dead plant does not have thermal energy.
How do chloroplastids differ from chromoplastids?
Chloroplastids are meant to capture solar energy for photosynthesis whereas chromoplastids provide various types of pigmentation to the plant parts radiating energy rich wavelengths of sunlight.
How do you respond to receiving a plant gift?
