The main characteristics of generator for thermal power plants are a short construction period, low project cost, fast

investment recovery and flexible site selection compared with hydropower stations with the same capacity. The main

disadvantage of thermal power plant is that it pollutes the environment to a certain extent. The environmental protection

measures taken mainly include: the use of high-efficiency electrostatic precipitator and desulfurization measures, the

comprehensive utilization of fly ash, and the use of circulating cooling to protect water sources.
