How Fire can produce electricity?
As in a coal power station? Water is heated by the fire, makes steam, turns turbines- electricity.
What are the ways in which power stations can be powered?
Power turbines are driven by steam. Steam can be raised by thermal, nuclear or geothermal processes. Wind and water can also drive a generator. The auxiliaries for a power station (which I think is what this question is asking) are typically powered by step down transformers within the power station. In nuclear power stations there are often standby-critical supplies which are driven by gas turbines or diesel generators.
How many wind turbines would it take for it to power the electricity a power plant does?
A standard power station produces something like 500 megawatts. A standard wind turbine produces about 5 megawatts.
What does a generator do in a power station?
A coal-fired power station works by burning coal to give off heat, which heats water and produces steam. The steam is then used to push generator turbines; which generate energy.
How many wind turbines replace a coal power station?
A v 90 wind turbine produces around 3 megawatts an hour of electricity when the wind is blowing.
What is the function of the turbine at grootvlei power station?
Grootvlei is an electricity generating station located in Balfour, South Africa. This station uses coal to power its turbines. The turbines run the generators with a total station output of 1200 megawatts.
How many wind turbines are required for 1 nuclear power station?
zero
What does a hydroelectric power station need to function?
In order for a hydroelectic power station to function, the station will need a large supply of water. The station will also require large generators with turbines in order to create power from the pressure of the water.
What does a hyrdo-electric power station use to generate electricity?
Turbines that are driven by falling water.
How many wind turbines do you need to replace a coal power station in the UK?
Both wind turbines and coal power stations come in different sizes, so there is no quick formula to convert one to the other.
What is cooled in cooling towers of a power station?
the working fluid for the turbines. usually steam is condensed back to water.
Why is fuel burned in the power station?
Fuel is burned to create steam. The steam turns the turbines, which produces electricity.
What does a hydroelectric power station look like?
Typically, hydroelectric power station appears to be a dam holding back a reservoir of water. Inside are turbines that turn the water to steam to produce electricity.
What are the Inputs of a power station?
Inputs of a power station is the air inside it produced. :) But seriously: The input to a power station is the source of energy use to make electricity. This can be water, oil, gas, coal, nuclear. In less conventional terms, wind turbines and tidal schemes are 'power stations'.
How is coal used in a power station?
the coal is crushed first then the coal is passed for burning
What are the two sources of turbines noise?
The first source of where you might find turbine would be at a Hydropower station where water turbines will be converting water into an energy source. The Airport would be a second location, as turbines are used to power the jet engines.
