| coal-fired power plant Power plant which is fuelled by coal | ar oglēm kurināma elektrostacija |
| 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 | kombinēta cikla elektrostacija |
| concentrating solar power | saules enerģijas koncentrēšana |
| electric power The rate at which electric energy is converted to other forms of energy, equal to the product of the current and the voltage drop | elektroenerģija |
| electric power plant 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 | elektrostacija |
| electric power supply | elektroapgāde |
| European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plant | Eiropas Tehnoloģiju platforma par nulles emisijas līmeni fosilā kurināmā spēkstacijām |
| 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 | termoelektrostacija |
| hydroelectric power plant Power station which operates with the free renewable source of energy provided by falling water | hidroelektrostacija |
| nuclear power plant A power plant in which nuclear energy is converted into heat for use in producing steam for turbines, which in turn drive generators that produce electric power | atomelektrostacija |
| nuclear power plant disposal | atomelektrostacijas novietojums |
| overhead power line Suspended cables by which electrical power is distributed throughout a country | gaisvadu elektroapgādes līnija |
| police power | policijas vara |
| political power The might, ability or authority of governments, citizens groups and other interested parties in enacting change or in influencing or controlling the outcome of governmental or public policies affecting a nation, region or municipality | politiskā vara |
| power company Company which is responsible for the supply and distribution of electric energy to a given area | energouzņēmums |
| power-heat relation The ratio of the work done by an engine to the heat supplied | enerģijas-siltuma attiecība |
| 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 | elektrostacija |
| power station derating The process by which a power plant is finally taken out of operation | elektrostacijas atslēgšana un izņemšana no aprites |
| purifying power Regenerative capacity of a system, of soils, water, etc. | attīrīšanas spēja |
| small power station Power station of small size for the generation of energy at local level | maza elektrostacija |
| solar power station Plant where energy is generated using radiation from the sun | solārā spēkstacija |
| thermal power plant A power-generating plant which uses heat to produce energy. Such plants may burn fossil fuels or use nuclear energy to produce the necessary thermal energy | siltumelektrostacija |
| thermal sea power The concept of utilizing the temperature differences of 20°C or more that occur between the surface of an ocean and its depths to achieve a continuous supply of power; this temperature difference may be found in the tropical regions of the world. Various small plants have been constructed to demonstrate the principle | jūras termālā enerģija |
| tidal power Mechanical power, which may be converted to electrical power, generated by the rise and fall of ocean tides. The possibilities of utilizing tidal power have been studied for many generations, but the only feasible schemes devised so far are based on the use of one or more tidal basins, separated from the sea by dams (known as barrages), and of hydraulic turbines through which water passes on its way between the basins and the sea | okeāna enerģija |
| 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 | energostacija, kas darbojas ar plūdmaiņas enerģiju |
| waste-fed heating and power plant Heating and power production plant where fuel is provided from refuse | atkritumu izmantošana termoelektrostaciju darbībā |
| waste-fed power station Power station that functions with refuse-derived fuel | atkritumu izmantošana spēkstacijās |
| water power Energy obtained from natural or artificial waterfalls, either directly by turning a water wheel or turbine, or indirectly by generating electricity in a dynamo driven by a turbine | ūdens enerģija |
| wind power Energy extracted from wind, traditionally in a windmill, but increasingly by more complicated designes including turbines, usually to produce electricity but also for water pumping. The power available from wind is proportional to the area swept by the rotating place and the cube of the wind velocity, but less than half the available power can be recovered | vēja enerģija |
| wind power station Power station which uses wind to drive a turbine which creates electricity | vēja elektrostacija |
