Best Answer

To obtain as much mechanical energy from the steam produced in the plant's steam raising units as possible, it is expanded through increasing sized turbine wheels, eventually expanding into a vacuum in the turbine condenser before condensing and returning to the steam cycle.

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 difference is there between a pumping station and a hydroelectric plant?

With a pumping station, they use pumps to perform a function with a liquid. This might include moving drinkable water or sewage up hill, for example. A hydroelectric plant uses water flowing downwards to turn turbines to produce electricity. Some hydroelectric plants have pumping stations that move water up hill into holding facilities from which it is released to turn additional turbines during periods of high demand for electricity.


What is satellite survey system?

a false station at which observation is taken for other point ,but later its reading is transfer to true station(impossible to set up station viz church tower) is called satellite station(false station).


How is cruachan hydroelectric power station different to a normal hydroelectric power station?

Cruachan Power Station is a storage hydro-electric power station whereas a Normal Hydroelectric power station is produced and then used, no storage needed.


What is the largest space station?

There is no current US space station. The last US space station was called SkyLab - but it entered Earth's atmosphere in 1979. The US (through NASA) currently uses the International Space Station or ISS.

What does a boiler do in a coal power station?

A boiler in a coal power station is responsible for converting water into steam. The coal is burned in the furnace of the boiler, producing heat which is used to generate steam. This steam is then used to drive a turbine, which spins a generator to produce electricity.

What does a hyrdo-electric power station use to generate electricity?

Turbines that are driven by falling water.


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.


Can sea-level pressure and station pressure be the same?

Yes, if the station is situated at sea level.


How does a coal fired power station produce electricity?

A coal fired station burns coal to produce heat. The heat boils water to produce high pressure and temperature steam. The steam expands in a turbine to rotate the shaft. The turbines rotation drives a generator. The generator produces electricity which is sent out to the consumers.


How does sea level pressure differ from station pressure?

Station Pressure is the actual pressure the station records, however this isn't really used in meteorology as there is no comparsion due to elevation, therefore for a synoptic look, Station Pressure is converted to Sea Level Pressure.
