Abstract
Malaysia is currently planning on building its first nuclear power plant to add on more
variety of national energy mix. This paper is on the study on the feasibility of the plan. We will show
the current and forecast energy demand that make the nuclear power plant as the major solution to
cover the deficit. Malaysia current strategy and action on building the plant will be presented in this
paper. The challenge on delivering this project of energy mix is also a major aspect that will be
discussed. The international and national policy regarding of nuclear power and its waste has provide
a rough guidelines to execute this planning. While existing literature points to a correlation between
nuclear power, strong state involvement, centralized energy planning and the rhetoric linking energy
to national prestige and security, we show that these factors are not sufficient for a successful nuclear
program. Another motivation on pursuing nuclear power is to reduce the carbon emission to the
environment. By the end of this paper, we include the nuclear conventions that Malaysia involve and
future prospect for nuclear power plant development. Copyright © 2016 Penerbit Akademia Baru -

Abstract
Most conventional power plants require a turbine as conversion system from various
working fluid like water, gas, steam and wind into mechanical energy that will be used to generate
electricity. In future, the forecast energy usage is higher and thus, to compensate this, the power plant
needs high efficiency of turbine to extract maximum quantity of energy from the working fluid.
Therefore, various improvements on turbine technology has been done and studied. There are four
common type of turbine which is hydraulic turbine, gas turbine, wind turbine and steam turbine that
will reviewed in this paper. Each turbine was differentiating based on their working fluid and different
type of turbine has their own efficiency. There is some parameter that affects the turbine efficiency like
the turbine component, the characteristic of working fluid, materials used, cooling invention and many
more. There is also some future development in progress to enhance the turbine efficiency and thus
increase the amount of electricity produce. The aims for this review paper is to find out the common
type of turbine used in power plant as different power plant needs different type of turbine. About 46
published studies (1939-2016) are reviewed in this paper. By reviewing others research studies
worldwide, this review paper can be taken as a guideline in future regarding to common type of turbines
used in power plant. Copyright © 2016 Penerbit Akademia Baru - All rights reserved.
