A joule is a watt-second. (To compare, a kilowatt-hour is 3.6 million joules.)

If a typical power plant produces 1,000 megawatts, it is producing 1,000 megajoules per second.

What is the principle of thermal power plant?

To produce electricity by the use of thermal energy in the form of heat.


Is hydrothermal energy the same as hydroelectric energy?

No. Hydroelectric power is any power coming from water, usually from its movement, but also from its heat (thermal). Hydrothermal power is power generated only from the temperature of the water (hot springs, ocean thermal, geothermal).


35 of the fuel is converted into electricity this is called what of the power plant?

The conversion of fuel into electricity in a power plant is referred to as its "thermal efficiency." This term measures how effectively the plant converts the energy stored in fuel into electrical energy. In this case, if 35% of the fuel's energy is converted into electricity, the thermal efficiency of the power plant would be 35%.


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


Difference between plant heat rate and turbine heat rate?

The turbine heat rate of a steam turbogenerato is the ratio of thermal input: power generated. It is often expressed in kJ/kWh. The efficiency of the turbogenerator is simply calculated from this. The plant heat rate is the ratio of fuel energy into the plant: power generated. It is greater than the turbine heat rate, because not all of the fuel's thermal energy can be captured by the boiler, and also power station services such as fuel handling, flue gas cleaning etc consume power. Consequently, more fuel is needed for each unit of useful net power produced. Plant heat rate is often expressed in kJ/kWh or Btu/kWh. The fuel energy input used in the plant heat rate calculation may be on a higher heating value (HHV) or a lower heating value (LHV) basis, and the plant power output, although usually on a net (net of plant own consumption) is sometimes on the basis of that at the generator terminals. Whatever is used should be made clear, but it often is not.

What does a thermal power plant do that a coal power plant doesn't?

A thermal power plant can use various fuel sources besides coal, such as natural gas or oil, to generate electricity. This gives it more flexibility in fuel selection compared to a coal power plant, which is limited to using only coal as its fuel source.


What is the reason o being thermal power plant in bhathinda delhi tanda dadri and vijayawada?

The reason there are thermal power plants in Bhathinda, Delhi, Tanda, Dadri, and Vijayawada is the close proximity to this type of renewable energy. Another reason this was done is to reduce the amount of pollution generated in the area.

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.
