BASIC ELECTRICAL ENGINEERINGDIFFERENT POWER PLANTS IN THE PHILIPPINESHYDROELECTRIC1. Angat Hydroelectric Power PlantAngat Hydroelectric Plant operates as a hydroelectric power plant in San Lorenzo. The company also has a reservoir. Angat Hydroelectric Plant was founded in 1967 and is based in Norzagaray, the Philippines. Angat Hydroelectric Plant operates as a subsidiary of National Power Corporation. As of now Angat Hydroelectric Plant is fully operational and can supply of 256 MW.

2. Kalayaan Power PlantThe Plant consists of the construction of the new Kalayaan PSP Stage II with a capacity of 2x185 MW reversible pumping/generating units. The rehabilitation of the two existing Caliraya and Botocan hydropower plant of 32 MW and 20 MW, respectively, is also included in the frame of the CBK project.The Kalayaan pumped storage plant is the first of this type in the Philippines, built to provide much needed peak power capacity to the Luzon electric grid. The Project makes use of the head available between the upper Caliraya reservoir, of 83 million m3 capacity, built in the 40's to feed a traditional hydropower plant, and Laguna de Bay, a huge natural lagoon of brackish water. The first stage, commissioned in 1983, is equipped with two 150 MW reversible units. This project will realize the second stage, constituted by a new penstock and powerhouse, as well as associated structures.

3. Pantabangan-Masiway Hyproelectric PlantThe 100 MW Pantabangan Hydro electric Power Plant is composed of 2 x 50 MW turbine-generating units. The plant harnesses the potential energy of the stored water inside the Pantabangan Reservoir, the largest water reservoir in the Philippines in terms of storage capacity, and converted it into electricity.The construction of power plant facility was officially started on Jan. 21, 1974 and inaugurated by, then, President Ferdinand Marcos on June 19, 1977. The Plant was built at a cost of Php241.4 Million. It is located at Brgy. Fatima, Pantabangan, Nueva Ecija, 180 Km North of Manila.

4. Ferdinand L. Singit in Bakun, BenguetThe Upper Takbo was built in 1991 but was renamed Ferdinand L. Singit Hydro or FLS Hydro in 1996 in memory of its late plant engineer. The construction of the FLS Hydro was an engineering challenge since there were no roads anywhere near the plant. Among Hedcors 19 plants, FLS Hydro has the longest conveyance line of about 3 kilometers. Initially it had a capacity of 4 MW and was upgraded in 1993 to produce its current capacity of 5.9 MW. This translates into about 27 million kWh annually for the NPC and BENECO.

GEOTHERMAL1. Malitbog Geothermal Power Stationis a 232.5MW geothermal power plant and is the world's largest geothermal power plant under one roof located inMalitbog, Kananga,Leyte,Philippines.Formerly owned and operated by the California Energy under abuild-operate-transferscheme known as CE Luzon. In 2007 it was transferred to PNOC -EDC and since 2009 it is owned and operated privately by theEnergy Development Corporation.2. Mak-Ban Geothermal Plant in LagunaMak-Ban all in all has 6 plants: Plants A and B with two 63-MW units each, Plant C with two 55-MW units, Plants D and E with two 20-MW units each, and a binary plant with five 3-MW and one 0.73-MW units.The power plant was first commissioned in 1979 and used to be under the Napocor. But because of the power generation assets privatization effort of the government, Mak-Ban and Tiwi were both auctioned off as a single package in 2008. AP Renewables, Inc., a subsidiary of Aboitiz Power Corporation,won that bid.Solar1. CEPALCOCagayan Electric Power and Light Company Inc. in Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental is the largest solar power plant in Southeast Asia. The photovoltaic solar panels can produce a 1.1 megawatts and can supply a 200 households, however it may vary on the consumption of households.Wind Power There are 3 sources of wind power in Ilocos Norte, the Bangui Wind farm in Bangui, Ilocos Norte it uses 20 units of wind turbines that can produce a 33 megawatts. The windmills are facing the West Philippines Sea that strenthen the supply of winds throughout the seashore. The Caparispisan Wind Farm also in Ilocos Norte was fully operational last year(2014) and can produce 81 megawatts while the Burgos Wind Farm has the largest supply of energy giving a 150 megawatts. The wind mills in Ilocos Norte has a fix rate for power producers of 8.53 per kilowatthour .Coal 1. Sual Power Station in PangasinaSual Power Stationis a 1,200-MWcoal-fired power stationlocated near theLingayen GulfinSual, Pangasinan,Philippines. Development started when Consolidated Electric Power Asia Ltd, a subsidiary of Hopewell Holdings, bid and won a $900mnBOOTtender for a 1,000-MW power station at Sual. Site preparation began in 1995 and construction started in February 1996.2. Pagbilao Power StationThe two-unit, 735-MW Pagbilao coal-fired power plant was completed in 1996. The plant is owned by Team Energy, a joint venture of Japanese companiesTokyo Electric Power CompanyandMarubeni Corporation.3. Masinloc Coal-FiredIn April 2008, AES expanded into the Philippines, completing the $930 million purchase and transfer of assets of the 600 MW (gross) Masinloc Coal-fired Thermal Power Plant, now Masinloc Power Partners Co. Ltd., located in Zambales Province in Luzon.

NuclearBataan Nuclear Power Plantis anuclear power plant, completed but never fueled, onBataan Peninsula, 100 kilometres (62mi) west ofManilain thePhilippines. It is located on a 3.57 square kilometre government reservation at Napot Point inMorong,Bataan. It was the Philippines' only attempt at building a nuclear power plant.
