Operation of a combined cycle power plant?
A combined cycle power plant has multiple thermodynamic cycles. This increases efficiency. For example, a gas turbine can be used to produce electricity, but only about 40% of the heat is actually converted in the process. 60% of the heat is lost, and in a single cycle plant would be considered waste heat. In a combined cycle plant, that waste heat could be used to drive a second, steam turbine to produce more electricity. In such a case, the efficiency could be increased from 40% to nearly 60%. It is possible to go further. The waste heat from the combined cycle electric plant can be used to heat buildings, for instance, increasing overall efficiency to more than 65%. This is called Cogeneration.
Why hydrazine is used in water and steam cycle of power plant?
It scavanges oxygen in water systems to prevent corrosion of piping.
What is the Disadvantage Steam Power Plant?
Steam driven power plants necessarily lose heat , regardless of how the power is generated (oil, nuclear, geothermal, etc.), because only about 35% to 40% of the energy in the steam can be recovered to make power. This can be improved a little bit by having a secondary system, called a combined cycle system. It can also be improved by using waste heat to heat buildings. The limit, by combining all of these, seems to be a little less than 70% efficiency.
What kind of power plant is NAPOCOR?
NAPOCOR is not a power plant. It is a power company. It is the National Power Corporation of the Phillipines.
When was Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant created?
Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant was created in 2006.
Does combined cycle power plant has a boiler?
No It has heat recovery steam generator
What are reasons for over speed tripping of steam turbine genarator in a combined cycle power plant?
wHAT??
What is the efficiency of thermal power plant?
A modern combined cycle gas turbine/ steam turbine power plant can reach almost 60% efficiency.
Which is the main fuel is used in Kayamkulam Thermal power station?
The main fuel used in the Kayamkulam Thermal Power Station is natural gas. It is a combined-cycle power plant that primarily relies on natural gas to generate electricity efficiently and with lower emissions compared to other fossil fuels.

madhya pradesh
What are some different configurations of power stations?
Power Stations have the same principle of working and that is the use of combined cycles for several heating systems. The power stations can use a gas combined cycle or a solar cycle.
What is the difference between combined cycle and cogeneration?
In Cogeneration Plant : The generated steam in boiler is used for both power generation & process heating, thereby reducing the condenstion losses compared to thermal power plant. In combined cycle first is gas turbine , rather than wasting the flue gas from gas turbine, we are sending it into boiler and again generating steam for running steam turbine. Both the ways we are increasing the thermal efficiency of the plant
Does power station use natural gas to generate electricity?
Yes. There are many power stations that use natural gas to heat water to steam and then turn turbines to generate electricity. These are considered more environmentally friendly than oil or coal powered plants.
How much natural gas required to produce 1 MW power?
The amount of natural gas required to produce 1 MW of power can vary based on the efficiency of the power generation technology used. Generally, a modern natural gas power plant with a combined cycle can achieve an efficiency of around 50-60%. This means it typically requires about 7,000 to 10,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of natural gas to generate 1 kWh (kilowatt-hour) of electricity, translating to approximately 7 to 10 million BTUs for 1 MW of continuous power generation over an hour.
Limitations of the Carnot cycle for the operation of the steam power plant?
The Carnot cycle gives the theoretical maximum efficiency of an engine operating between two heat reservoirs. The Carnot cycle is an idealized engine cycle that is thermodynamically reversible. Real systems such as power plants are not reversible, and the entropy of a real material changes with temperature (which is not accounted for by the Carnot cycle). A steam power plant operates closer to a cycle known as the Rankine cycle.
