| coal-fired-power station | 燃煤发电厂 |
| combined cycle-power station This type of plant is flexible in response and can be built in the 100-600 MW capacity range. It produces electrical power from both a gas turbine (ca. 1300°C gas inlet temperature), fuelled by natural gas or oil plus a steam turbine supplied with the steam generated by the 500°C exhaust gases from the gas turbine. The thermal efficiency of these stations is ca. 50 per cent compared with a maximum of 40 per cent from steam turbine coal fired power stations. This type of plant can be built in two years compared with six years for a coal-fired station and 10-15 years for nuclear | 联合循环电站 (这种发电站反应灵活，可在100-600兆瓦容量范围内兴建。它依靠气体涡轮机(入口温度约1300°C的气体)发电，由500℃所产生的蒸汽供应蒸汽涡轮机，使用天然气或石油天然气废气涡轮气体作为燃料。这些站的热效率大约为-50%，而燃煤蒸汽涡轮机最多只有-40%。这种电站类型可以在两年内建成，同等级的煤电站需要6年，核电站需要10-15年。) |
| heat and power station Power station which produces both electricity and hot water for the local population. A CHP (Combined Heat and Power Station) plant may operate on almost any fuel, including refuse | 汽电共生厂 (为当地居民供应电力和热水的能量站。一个(结合热和电能)的电厂可使用任何形式的能源而运转，包括垃圾。) |
| power station A stationary plant containing apparatus for large-scale conversion of some form of energy (such as hydraulic, steam, chemical, or nuclear energy) into electrical energy | 发电厂 (一个固定的工厂，其中有大规模的能源发电形式(如液压、蒸汽、化学或核能源转换设备)将各种能源转换为电能。) |
| power station derating The process by which a power plant is finally taken out of operation | 电站降额 (将某个发电机组从发电作业流程中分离出来。) |
| small power station Power station of small size for the generation of energy at local level | 小型发电厂 (在地方一级用能源发电的小规模电站。) |
| solar power station Plant where energy is generated using radiation from the sun | 太阳能发电站 (使用太阳的辐射产生能源的地点。) |
| tidal power station | 潮汐潮水力发电站 |
| tidal power station Power station where the generation of power is provided by the ebb and flow of the tides. The principle is that water collected at high tide behind a barrage is released at low tide to turn a turbine that, in turn, drives a generator | 潮汐水力发电站 (由低潮和潮汐流提供能量的发电站。原则就是在高潮时抽取海水在退潮时反过来被释放来转涡轮，以驱动发电机。) |
| waste-fed power station Power station that functions with refuse-derived fuel | 废料燃料发电厂 (从废料中提取燃料的发电厂。) |
| wind power station Power station which uses wind to drive a turbine which creates electricity | 风力发电站 (利用风驱动涡轮机来发电的电站。) |
