What is the efficiency of thermal power plant?
A modern combined cycle gas turbine/ steam turbine power plant can reach almost 60% efficiency.
What is the difference between 500MW and 600MW power station?
The ans is with respect to Thermal Power plants: the basic difference between a 500MW plant and 600MW palnt is in the turbine design. the 600MM turbine has 1 HPT, 1IPT and 2 LPTs, 2 Condensors and a generator. the 500MW turnbine has 1 HPT, 1IPT and 1 LPT, 1 condensor and a generator. HPT: high pressure turbine IPT: intermediate pressure turbine LPT: low pressure turbine
What is needed to run the turbine of a hydroelectric power plant?
Water at pressure that is sufficient to continuously spin the turbine(s).
What is tmcr bmcr conditions of thermal power plant?
BMCR is the boiler maximum continous rating .It is that the maximum temperature , steam flow or the pressure that is used to generate full load or the bolier can withstand.TMCR is the turbine maximum continous rating .It is that the maximum temperature , steam flow or the pressure that the turbine requires for generating full loadNOTE:BMCR WILL BE MORE COMPARED TO TMCR
Why PRDS used in thermal power plant?
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.
What is STG power plant?
STG stands for Steam turbine generator. It is a type of power plant that generates electricity by using steam to drive a turbine connected to a generator. The turbine converts the thermal energy in the steam into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy by the generator.
Should a power plant where the prime mover is a gas turbine be categorized as a thermal power plant?
No, a power plant that uses fossil fuels such as gas or coal, cannot be classified as a thermal power plant. A thermal power plant uses the heat from deep within the earth, combined with water to create steam, which then powers the turbines.
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
What is difference between structure of steam turbine in thermal power plant and nuclear power plant?
Nothing, except possibly size, but that would be because of different power rating of plant not different type of plant.
What spins the turbine of coal-burning power plant?
Steam produced by heating water with the coal's heat energy spins the turbine of a coal-burning power plant. The high-pressure steam flows through the turbine blades, causing them to turn and drive the generator that produces electricity.
In a natural gas power plant natural gas is burned to heat steam which turns a turbine. What energy conversion is happening in a natural gas power plant?
In a natural gas power plant, chemical energy stored in natural gas is converted into thermal energy through combustion. This thermal energy is then used to heat water, producing steam that drives a turbine. The mechanical energy from the turbine is subsequently converted into electrical energy by a generator. Thus, the process involves the conversion of chemical energy to thermal energy, then to mechanical energy, and finally to electrical energy.
What is purpose of using Intermediate and Low pressure turbines in a thermal power station?
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.
