Accepted Answer

It is thermal power plant, hydroelectric power plants,gas based power plant,Diesel power plant , Nuclear Power plant These are called conventional power plants.
But since fuels which are found from earth  is not sustainable and it will be exhaustive soon and which may affect power generation.
To avoid such situations non conventional sources of energy is the right choice to generate power .
These are solar thermal power plant, Wind Energy , geothermal energy,tidal energy ,ocean energy can be utilised to generate power .
