The use of nuclear energy for commercial electricity production began in the mid-1950s. In 2013, the world''s 392 GW of installed nuclear capacity accounted for 11 % of electricity generation produced by around 440 nuclear power plants situated in 30 countries (Fig. 1 ). This share has declined gradually since 1996, when it reached almost …

Two types of gas turbine are used for power generation: aero-derivative gas turbines and heavy-duty gas turbines. The former are used to provide power to the grid at times of peak demand. The latter are most often found in combined cycle power stations. These are capable of more than 60% efficiency.
