In a thermal power plant, water is heated in a boiler to produce steam.This steam turns the shafts of a turbine.the thermal energy of the steam is converted into mechanical energy at the turbine.The turbine is coupled with an alternator.In the alternator, the mechanical energy of the turbine is converted into electrical energy.

∙ 13y agoIt's similar to how the fossil fuel burning plants work, except a chain reaction is used. They use Uranium fuel rods as the fuel, and the heat is generated by nuclear fission (basically where they make neutrons crash into the nuclei of the Uranium atoms, which then split in half and release heat energy). Carbon dioxide or water is then pumped through the reactor to get rid of this heat, and this heat then heats the water to make steam. The steam drives turbines to drive generators, which generate electricity!

What are the elements of solar power plant?
There are several elements of solar power plant. Some of them include parabolic mirrors or reflectors, thermal collector that stores heat and many more.
When was the first electric power plant invented?
1921 in Wisconsin it was a coal fueled power plant
How is grid frequency and power plant output frequency matched?
contrary to the belief that the 50-60 Hz is stable in reality it is not frequency changes constantly during the day as power is increased or reduced but the average for a day is pretty much constant. a generating plant is a thermal or hydro machine it cannot responds very fast. so the average is stable for the grid since all plants have reserve spin power available constantly
Power plant based objective type question answer?
objectives of the power engineer in a plant is to monitor that the plant is operating efficiently and and repairing as necessary
How superheating of steam improves the efficiency of thermal power plant?
The amount of energy transferred from the steam is a function of the temperature difference between the input and output of the turbine. Also, superheating the steam ensures that there are no water molecules that can damage the turbine blades.
What is the Cost of 1 MW generation of power in thermal power plant?
The cost of 1 MW power generation is Rs. 5.0 crores in thermal power plant.
How is the Deemed Generation calculated in the thermal power Plant?
plant total generation + deemed generation divided by plant capacity multiply by no of hours
Largest size thermal power plant in India?
More than 65% of India's electricity generation capacity comes from thermal power plants, with about 85% of the country's thermal power generation being coal-based. The 10 largest thermal power stations operating in India are all coal-fired, with seven of them owned and operated by state-run National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).
Temperature measurement in thermal power plant?
how to measure Temperature in thermal power plant
When was Taketoyo Thermal Power Plant created?
Taketoyo Thermal Power Plant was created in 1966.
What is the difference between thermal power plant and captive thermal power plant?
The basis of differentiation is end user. A thermal power plant produces electricity to sell the same to different end users through grid. But, in case of a captive thermal power plant generation of electricity generally is to meet the demand of power by the parent industry. For e.g. an Alumunium smelter plant requires huge quntity of elctric energy to operate. To secure undisrupted source of energy it may set up its own power plant which in turn can be termed as the captive power plant. But, in certain cases excess electricity can be sold to the market.
What is the example of thermal power plant?
A good example of a thermal power plant is run that is coal fired.
What is pithead power plant?
It is type of thermal power plant
List the major thermal power plants in India?
The list of thermal power plants in India include the Mundra Thermal Power Station in Gujarat; and Vindhyachal Thermal Power Station in Madhya Pradesh. Also included are Mundra Ultra Mega Power Plant, Talcher Super Thermal Power Plant, and Sipat Power Plant.
Largest thermal power plant in Asia?
Chandrapur thermal power station
What is the reason for the location of major thermal power plant?
because most of the thermal power plant requires a lot of water
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.
