3. Coal fired power station
Thermal energy typically comes from the combustion of fuel in a steam
boiler
The turbine follows the steam conversion of thermal energy into mechanical
energy drained shaft to an electrical generator
4. Brown coal power station
Thermal energy typically comes from the combustion of fuel in a steam
boiler
The turbine follows the steam conversion of thermal energy into mechanical
energy drained shaft to an electrical generator
In Belchatow is the largest Brown coal power station in Poland.

7. Hydroelectric power plants
Hydroelectric power is the most extensively used source of renewable
energy. Industrial plant converts the potential energy of water into
electricity
Hydropower plants are relatively cheap source of energy and can quickly
change the power generated depending on demand
In Poland in 2013, hydropower accounted for 1.5% of electricity production
11. Windfarms
The power plant produces electricity using generators (wind turbines) wind-
powered
Electricity derived from wind energy is considered to be ecologically clean
production of energy does not involve combustion of any fuel
The principle of operation of the power plant is simple and consists in the
fact that the windmill blades are driven by wind thereby producing electricity
in a turbine fan.
