What else can I help you with?
What are the advantages of having all power stations connected to the National Grid?
More power on peak times If one goes down, they can rely on the other power stations
Why are there few hydroelectric power stations in UK?
because the conditions for a hydroelectric power stations in the uk aren't right so only a few can be built.
Do power stations use heat to generate electricity?
Yes most power stations do use heat to generate electricity. Heat energy of the fuel (e.g. burning coal, burning oil, nuclear fission) is utilized to heat water present in the boiler. This heating generates steam, which is then utilized to run the turbine. However some power stations get the energy to generate electricity without using heat (e.g. hydroelectric dams, wind power, sea wave power, solar cell generation systems).
What is an example of a step-up transformer?
Power stations use step-up transformers to transmit power at a high voltage instead of a high current. This reduces the power lost in the transmission lines.
State three reasons for the widespread use of transformer?
The three main reasons for the widespread use of transformer are power outage, more power supply and sustainability among consumers. This is what has made the transformers to be much appreciated.
What power stations produce CO2?
Most power stations that burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas produce CO2 as a byproduct of combustion. These fossil fuel power stations are major contributors to CO2 emissions and climate change.
Why are so many power stations close to a large source of water i.e. the sea or a major river?
So the power stations dont use up so much fossil fuels. They use water to spin the turbines in the power stations and then it goes into energy ;) x
Why thermal power stations located in India?
the thermal power stations are not only located in India, they are located in the part of the world where there are coal reserves, India has large coal reserve located in various parts of M.P,C.G,JHARKHAND & KOLKATA,this is the reason behind the location of thermal power stations in India,as these stations use coal for the generation of electricity
Research how wide spread the use of nuclear power stations is world wide Include which major countries use nuclear power and approximately what percentage of their power stations are nuclear?
See www.world-nuclear.org and do your own research
Why are Britain's nuclear power stations all built on west coast?
Britain's nuclear power stations were built on the west coast due to historical reasons, such as the availability of cooling water from the sea and proximity to population centers. This location also reduces the risk of radioactive contamination spreading over densely populated areas in case of an accident. However, newer nuclear power stations are being built inland to diversify the locations.
Where are solar power stations in NZ?
there are no solar power stations in new zealand
When was Stella power stations created?
Stella power stations was created in 1954.
When did Stella power stations end?
Stella power stations ended in 1991.
When was Rugeley power stations created?
Rugeley power stations was created in 1963.
When was Cottam power stations created?
Cottam power stations was created in 1969.
What are the factors affecting the location of the thermal power stations?
The factors affecting the location of the (nuclear) thermal power stations are partially location in relationship to the grid, and mostly location in relationhip to the heatsink. An enormous amout of energy is generated by the nuclear reaction - in fact the typical efficiency of the nuclear to electric power production cycle is only 33% - and that excess energy must be dissipated. There is also the factor of the population density, in that the design of the emergency/evacuation planning zone needs to consider the amount of people needed to be evacuated in the event of a large nuclear incident, should that occur.
Is it a better option to produce electricity as compared to hydroelectric power stations?
Hydroelectric power stations certainly have their advantages and disadvantages, as do all forms of electrical generation. Probably the best solution is to use a combination of different means of producing electricity, with hydroelectric stations as part of the mix.
