How does a steam generator produce energy?
You say a steam generator. The equipment is actually a steam driven turbine coupled to a generator. Steam from the thermal source, either fossil fired or nuclear, drives the turbine which is mechanically coupled to the generator which produces the electrical output
How do you produce electricity from biogas?
You can use the bio gas to fuel either a steam cycle generator or a gas turbine.
What is the difference between generator turbine?
RADITOR * Small generators either air cooled or water cooled 2 stroke. Autos are mainly 4 stroke and the majority watercooled.
What is an example of the transfer from nuclear energy to mechanical energy?
Nuclear energy is used to boil water in order to produce steam. The steam is used to drive a turbine that can either be mechanically hooked up, i.e. the propeller on a nuclear submarine, or the turbine can be linked to a generator which then powers an electric motor.
How do thermal energy transfer to electrical energy?
Either heat air and force through a turbine, or heat water into steam (and use a turbine or a steam engine). Then connect to a generator.
The turbine which rotates in only one direction whether the flow of wind is in either direction what is the name of this turbine?
i have got a pic of such turbine this is designed by some engineering studentshere is the picturehttp://www.engin.umich.edu/dept/name/research/projects/wave_device/picture005.jpg
How do nuclear produce electricity?
The produced nuclear energy manifests itself as heat energy transferred to the coolant passing by it and heats it up. The coolant is either transforms directly into steam (as in boiling water reactors) or it transfers its heat to another secondary coolant (through a steam generator) transferring it into steam. The steam flows to a turbine to operate it and the turbine consequently turns and electric generator that produces electricity.
How is water used to generate electricity?
Flowing or falling water can be harnessed to turn a waterwheel or spin a turbine, either of which can be connected to a generator. The kinetic energy of water (imparted by gravity) is converted into electric power by that generator.
How do you turn sun into energy?
Through the use of solar panels, or through photosynthesisAnswer 2The solar radiation is transformed either to: heat through the CSP method that could produce steam to turn a turbine that spins the electric generator to produce electric energy; orproduce directly electric energy through the photovoltaic method.
How can the output voltage of a DC generator's polarity be reversed?
The polarity of DC generator can be reversed by reversing the field current as well as direction of rotation
In a modern coal-fired power plant the mechanical energy of turbines is converted into electrical energy by?
The turbine is solidly connected to the generator, which is similar to a very large AC generator that you have in a car, but produces a high voltage output, usually something like 20 kV. The whole assembly rotates at a rate to produce either 50 Hz or 60 Hz AC depending on the system it is part of.
Generator is moving 3000 RPM on 320Mw powerif full load rejected and any protection is not activate generator work as a motor what are damage possible?
depends on many things, including the type of prime mover (what is powering generator?). Presuming a steam turbine (or possibly combustion turbine though that's large for a single CT-gen) at that size and speed. "Rejection" of load is a term often misused. I'll presume correct use in this case, meaning that the generator remains connected to the grid, but for some reason has stopped producing power. If on the other hand what was meant was the generator was disconnected from the grid, it will not "motor". Upon rejection of load with no change in prime mover, the turbine would increase speed to a point where turbine over-speed protection would trip the prime mover to the turbine (fuel or steam), perhaps depending on design there may be some pre-emergency turbine controls to help reduce or control speed to below the trip point (perhaps about 110%, again depending on design). but if there is no controls that operate (including on turbine) turbine-generator unit may speed to point of damage (even destruction) as the centrifugal force of the higher speed exceeds design characteristics of the unit. Back to original question... If the generator rejected load due to loss of its field current, or either an open or short circuit in the generator, it likely will not motor. However, if the generator remains wholly intact and connected to the grid (meaning the reason for rejecting load is the loss or reduction of the prime mover to the driving turbine), the generator will motor. Possible generator damage could occur due to heating or pole piece shifting, depending on how sudden the change of phase angle (power flow) occurred. More likely, is (steam) turbine damage caused by overheating, most often starting with the lower pressure area blading. It is not uncommon to "motor" hydro electric generators operating either as a pump, or as a synchronous condenser for voltage or VAR control. But hydro-turbine-generators operate much slower RPM, with larger mass and damage is not incurred.
