What is a power plant?
The electrical energy is obtained from different energy conversions done in a place called the POWER PLANT. It is usually a location where all the fuel's original energy is converted into electrical energy.
Why is a thermal power plant also called a steam power plant?
As thermal power plants use coal as fuel to boil the water to produce steam. And this steam is forced to hit on the steam turbine blades. The turbine is coupled to the generator, and from the generator we can obtain electricity.

State the necessity of wind power?
One of nature's most plentiful energy sources, the wind, is a type of solar energy. It is free, available everywhere, renewable, and non-polluting. Wind turbines capture the kinetic energy in surface winds and convert it into electrical energy.
Difference between biogas and biomass?
Biogas is a mixture of gases, methane and carbon dioxide, created when organic material like food waste, sewage, and agricultural waste is digested anaerobically. Whereas "biomass" refers to any organic material that is burned as fuel, such as wood, crops, and agricultural waste. Biomass, as a contrast to biogas, is a solid fuel that must be burned in order to release energy. It is frequently employed in industrial processes, the production of electricity, and heating.
