To estimate the production of a wind turbine must be given the following factors:

1 - type of wind turbine

2 - wind speed in wind turbine installation

3 - angular velocity of turbine shaft

4 - an area of ​​wind turbine blades that are vacuum

However, using the following formula can be produced by wind turbines can be estimated as:

P = 0.5 * cp * ρ * A * V3

In the formula above:

cp: Power Factor

ρ: air density

A: It is an area of ​​wind turbine that will sweep

V: wind speed

Is.

The turbine can be calculated to consider the following points:

1 - the coefficient function of the ratio of the speed or the speed of EDGE is that it will display with λ, ie:

cp = f (λ)

But λ is a dimensionless number obtained from the following formula:

λ = (Rω) / Vwind

Where:

R = length of wind turbine blades

Vahdsh turbines and ω = angular velocity (rad / s)

Generally, the efficiency of (any) power station is energy output/energy input x 100% (to find the percentage). In most cases, energy input is usually greater than energy output, leading to a value that is smaller than 100%.

There are five steps on how to find the efficiency of the steam boiler. Some of the step-by-step instructions are use the horsepower to calculate steam flow, use the btu/hr heat input rate to calculate boiler steam flow, and calculate boiler steam flow with a known kilowatt hour usage in an electrically heated boiler.

A steam plant is any where from 33% to 48% efficient. With a steam plant you use steam to run an electirc generator. Water is heated creating steam. Which is sent through the steam turbine.

The reheat factor in the steam turbine refers to the Thermodynamic effect on the turbine efficiency. Others factors includes the cumulative heat, and the steam turbine condition curve.


How superheating of steam improves the efficiency of thermal power plant?

The amount of energy transferred from the steam is a function of the temperature difference between the input and output of the turbine. Also, superheating the steam ensures that there are no water molecules that can damage the turbine blades.


How much coal does a 10 MW power plant use daily?

Coal releases about 14-15,000 btu's of heat per pound. This will on average produce about 12 lbs of high quality superheated steam. With a **steam rate of an engine at about 4 lbs of steam per kilowatt produced, this coal plant can produce about 3 kilowatts per pound of coal burned. So to produce 10 MW of electricity this hypothetical plant will burn about 3,334 lbs. of coal per hour. In a day the coal consumed will be about 80, 000 lbs or 40 tons. *Actual fuel conditions, combustion efficiency, boiler efficiency and engine efficiency would need to be determined for any particular power plant to determine actual coal usage in that plant. **steam rates of different power plants can range from about 3.5 lbs steam/ KW to more than 10 lbs of steam/ KW.


What is boiler combustion efficiency?

boiler efficiency is how much water is converting to steam.


Why is superheated steam at high pressure frequently employed in the steam cycle?

The efficiency of power plant based on the Rankine Cycle can be calculated from the Temperature-Entropy (Ts) Diagram. Area on the Ts Diagram represents energy. The efficiency of the cycle can be calculated by dividing WorkOut (the area enclosed by the cycle) by HeatAdded. Note that HeatAdded - WorkOut = HeatRejected. Increasing the steam temperature and pressure improves the ratio of these areas. Where the pressure is increased to above the Critical Point, the steam plant is described as Super Critical. Increasing the degrees of superheat in the steam also reduces the wetness of the steam in the last row of blades in the turbine.

How do you calculate coal usage to produce 1 MW power?

First in order to calculate the heat content of a particular type of coal, an ultimate analysis must be done. Then the combustion efficiency of the coal must be calculated, the boiler efficiency is then determined by a boiler "acceptance test", or heat balance. The steam is then run through an engine driving a generator to determine the total plant efficiency thus determining how much coal is burned to produce a set amount of electricity. Several publications on Steam power plant operation explain these efficiency tests in more detail.
