What is the Definition of conventional power plant?
A conventional power plant is usually either a gas or coal fired plant. I can, on occasion, include nuclear power plants but it depends on context. It will never, however, include 'green' power plants such as hydro-electric dams, tidal barriers, wind farms, etc.
What is inverter efficiency?
Inverter efficiency varies with DC input voltage, ambient temperature, and operating power level of the inverter. It can mean power-out divided by power-in.
How are tidal waves used to generate electricity for the power grid?
Tidal waves are not used to generate electricity. A tidal wave is a huge wave, rather like a tsunami, that occurs very infrequently, and without warning.Tides are harnessed to produce electricity, and also waves are used, but not tidal waves.
Why is not feasible to operate bulbs a low voltages although it amount to high efficiency?
Lamps (not 'bulbs' ; we plant bulbs!) will only produce their rated power at their rated voltage. These values are printed on the glass envelope. Reducing the voltage applied to a lamp will, therefore, reduce the power it produces. In fact, there's not a simple, linear, relationship between a lamp's voltage and its power, and this means that even small reductions in voltage will result in large reductions in power.Operating lamps, or any devices, come to than, at lower voltages really has nothing to do with efficiency. Certainly, operating a lamp below its rated voltage will most-certainly NOT result in high efficiency. Efficiency is defined as the ratio of output power to input power and has nothing to do with voltage.
How are tidal power plants similar to hydroelectric plants?
Both use the flow of water generate electricity. Hydroelectric uses the flow of water from a high point to a low point. (A damn). Tidal power uses the flow of ocean tides in and out.
Where is the world first tidal power plant?
The largest tidal power station in the world is the Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station. It is located in South Korea.
Where is the tidal power in the Philippines?
The tidal power plant in the Philippines is located at Brittany on the River. This power plant harnesses power to give to all of the small islands.
Which power plant has maximum efficiency?
thermal
What is the efficiency of thermal power plant?
A modern combined cycle gas turbine/ steam turbine power plant can reach almost 60% efficiency.
If 35 percent of the fuel is converted into electricity this is called the what of the power plant?
It is the efficiency of the power plant.
Does tidal power cause pollution?
There may be some, as the plant is built. But for the actual running of the plant - no.
Could tidal power plant be built in the Great Lakes?

How does tidal electric power plant work?
its a waste of money and it does not work
How can people get electricity from sea?
Tidal power, also called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power. The first large-scale tidal power plant (the Rance Tidal Power Station) started operation in 1966.
What is the energy efficiency of a typical nuclear power plant?
The energy efficiency of a typical nuclear power plant varies, depending on its design, but a typical value might be around 33%.
Where is tidal power in the world?
France has the biggest tidal power plant on the face of the earth, unfortunately the only tidal plant in Europe. Tidal power uses energy in ocean movement (waves) to generate electricity. Tidal power, sometimes called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power. Although not yet widely used, tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than wind energy and solar power. Historically, tide mills have been used, both in Europe and on the Atlantic coast of North America.
