they work parallel to power generating turbines. The only difference between prds and turbine is that prds give only process steam by simply reducing the pressure of incoming steam while a turbine generates power out of that pressure reduction, and also give left out steam as process steam.

Difference between plant heat rate and turbine heat rate?

The turbine heat rate of a steam turbogenerato is the ratio of thermal input: power generated. It is often expressed in kJ/kWh. The efficiency of the turbogenerator is simply calculated from this. The plant heat rate is the ratio of fuel energy into the plant: power generated. It is greater than the turbine heat rate, because not all of the fuel's thermal energy can be captured by the boiler, and also power station services such as fuel handling, flue gas cleaning etc consume power. Consequently, more fuel is needed for each unit of useful net power produced. Plant heat rate is often expressed in kJ/kWh or Btu/kWh. The fuel energy input used in the plant heat rate calculation may be on a higher heating value (HHV) or a lower heating value (LHV) basis, and the plant power output, although usually on a net (net of plant own consumption) is sometimes on the basis of that at the generator terminals. Whatever is used should be made clear, but it often is not.

What are the differences between a coal power plant and a hydroelectric power plant?

Coal is used in furnaces to heat water in a boiler to superheated (above 100 degrees Celsius) temperatures, and this steam is used to drive a turbine which, in turn, drives an alternator. A hydroelectric plant uses the vertical fall of water to drive a water turbine which drives an alternator.

What is a full form of prds in a boiler?

PRDS stands for Pressure Reducing & De-Superheating. The outlet steam from turbine will be used mainly for generating power and also for other industrial processes (e.g, in Textile industries for heating etc.). For industrial processes, the outlet steam from turbine will not be useful because of high temperature and very high pressure. By having a PRDS line in boiler, the temperature and pressure can be reduced by means of spraying using a control valve.
