Difference between Power station and Waste heat

Power station vs. Waste heat

A power station, also referred to as a power plant or powerhouse and sometimes generating station or generating plant, is an industrial facility for the generation of electric power. Waste heat is heat that is produced by a machine, or other process that uses energy, as a byproduct of doing work.

Similarities between Power station and Waste heat

Power station and Waste heat have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cogeneration, Cooling tower, Cost of electricity by source, District heating, Electric power, Fuel, Greenhouse gas, Heat engine, Heat exchanger, Oil refinery, Second law of thermodynamics, Thermal energy storage, Waste heat.

Cogeneration

Cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) is the use of a heat engine or power station to generate electricity and useful heat at the same time.

Cooling tower

A cooling tower is a heat rejection device that rejects waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature.

Cost of electricity by source

In electrical power generation, the distinct ways of generating electricity incur significantly different costs.

District heating

District heating (also known as heat networks or teleheating) is a system for distributing heat generated in a centralized location for residential and commercial heating requirements such as space heating and water heating.

Greenhouse gas

A greenhouse gas is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range.

Heat engine

In thermodynamics, a heat engine is a system that converts heat or thermal energy—and chemical energy—to mechanical energy, which can then be used to do mechanical work.

Oil refinery

Oil refinery or petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where crude oil is transformed and refined into more useful products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas, jet fuel and fuel oils.
