Thermal power station - Wikipedia

Other types of power stations are subject to different efficiency limitations. Most hydropower stations in the United States are about 90 percent efficient in converting the energy of falling water into electricity while the efficiency of a wind turbine is limited by Betz's law, to about 59.3%, and actual wind turbines show lower efficiency.

The Power Station (art space)

The Power Station is a not-for-profit contemporary art space in Exposition Park, Dallas. It is housed in a former Dallas Power & Light building which was constructed in 1920, and hosts large scale exhibitions which complement the building's raw architecture. For each of its international exhibitions, The Power Station works with the artists to produce a publication in conjunction with their project. Its programming also includes a summer exhibition and additional events each year. The building includes an apartment where artists can live as they create and build their installations. "The building and garden relate to one another gently through the careful manipulation of crisp architectural elements that are then intentionally eroded by more informal, lush plant material. ".

Papenoo Hydroelectric Power Station

The Papenoo Hydroelectric Power Station is located near the commune of Papenoo on the island Tahiti in the overseas country of France, French Polynesia. It has an installed capacity of 28 MW and was constructed between 1989 and 1994. The hydroelectric power station is owned by Electricite de Tahiti SA. It is the largest hydroelectric power station in Tahiti. It uses water provided by five reservoirs high up in the Papenoo Valley, above the commune. Each reservoir is created on the Papenoo River or a tributary by an embankment dam. From highest in elevation to lowest; Vaitapaa Dam at 173915.23S 149263.09W / 17.6542306S 149.4341917W / -17.6542306; -149.4341917 (Vaitapaa Dam), which lies at an elevation of 411 m (1,348 ft) above sea level, is 15 m (49 ft) tall. It withholds a reservoir of 8,000 m3 (6.5 acreft). Next, at an elevation of 400 m (1,300 ft), Tahinu Dam, at 17399.26S 149274.23W / 17.6525722S 149.4511750W / -17.6525722; -149.4511750 (Tahinu Dam) is 33 m (108 ft) high and withholds a larger reservoir of 1,500,000 m3 (1,200 acreft). It is the tallest dam in Tahiti. Moving down is Vainavenave Dam at 173915.54S 1492520.35W / 17.6543167S 149.4223194W / -17.6543167; -149.4223194 (Vainavenave Dam) which lies at 399 m (1,309 ft) above sea level, is 29 m (95 ft) tall, and withholds a reservoir of 150,000 m3 (120 acreft).
