How you increase load electrically in thermal power plants?

Basically you just open the steam turbine steam inlet valves slightly, to admit more steam. The generator is locked to the turbine shaft so will respond by producing more megawatts. Of course the source of the steam has to respond by producing more steam, whether it is a coal or natural gas fired furnace or a nuclear reactor


What is turbine runback?

Controlled unloading of a turbine operating under load.


What is turbine drain valve?

When steam is introduced to a turbine during start up, drain valves are fully open. They drain to the condenser until the turbine reaches a certain load. Once that load is reached, the valves are closed and turbine runs normally.


How does rpm of steam turbine change with time?

The RPM of a steam turbine typically changes over time in response to variations in load demand and steam supply. During startup, the RPM gradually increases as steam pressure builds and the turbine accelerates. Under stable operating conditions, the RPM remains relatively constant, but it can fluctuate due to changes in load, steam flow, or operational adjustments. If the load decreases, the RPM may drop, while an increase in load can cause the RPM to rise, depending on the control mechanisms in place.


What causes steam turbine governor hunting?

inconsistent load will cause steam turbine hunting.


Atc control by deh for turbine?

yes ,when my set point and turbine inlet pr. is match,then no need to varry the load as well as speed,so you can hold the load


What is the dead load and a live load and a dynamic load in a steam turbine?

In the context of a steam turbine, the dead load refers to the static weight of the turbine components and associated structures that are always present, such as the casing, rotor, and support structures. The live load includes any additional loads that fluctuate during operation, such as the weight of fluids and steam, or operational stresses from vibration and thermal expansion. A dynamic load encompasses forces that change over time due to movement, such as the impact of rotating parts or fluctuations in steam pressure, which can induce vibrations and affect the turbine's performance. Understanding these loads is crucial for designing a safe and efficient turbine system.


What is meant by load in diesel generators?

Any device that uses the generator to supply its operating voltage is electrically classed as a generator load.


How do nuclear power plants transfer energy?

The fission energy of a nuclear reactor is heat. It makes steam which runs a turbine electric generator. The electricity is put on the power grid and is sent to the load.


Why secondary terminal voltage decreases with increase in load?

An increase in load (equivalent to a decrease in resistance*) causes an increase in load current. This increases the internal voltage drop within the transformer, and the terminal voltage reduces accordingly.[*An increase in load means more current is being drawn by that load, so an increase in load is equivalent to a decrease in load resistance]


What are some ways to increase the speed of a wind turbine?

Get it higher and clear of obdstructions like buildings. Lower the mass of the impeller and increase number of blades, Lower the electrical load until it gets to top speed. Placing impeller in the constriction of a venturi tunnel , like in a jet engine? might be an idea worth trying.


What is electricity in nuclear power plants used for?

You say in the plants - do you really mean on the power plant site? Within the plant there are many auxiliaries that take a supply from the generator output, so that the sent out load is reduced by this amount. The biggest load is probably the circulating water pumps that feed the primary and secondary circuits (in a PWR). Then there is all the control and instrumentation including computers, lighting, heating and ventilation plant, and many auxiliaries in the turbine house, including the water circulation for the turbine condenser.
