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 open and closed cycle gas turbine?

In an open cycle gas turbine, the gases that are produced by combustion go directly into the atmosphere, though the heat produced can sometimes be reclaimed. In a closed cycle gas turbine, the gases produced are reused and are not emitted into the atmosphere.


What type of cycle used in steam turbine?

Rankine cycle is used in steam turbine


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


Operation of a combined cycle power plant?

A combined cycle power plant has multiple thermodynamic cycles. This increases efficiency. For example, a gas turbine can be used to produce electricity, but only about 40% of the heat is actually converted in the process. 60% of the heat is lost, and in a single cycle plant would be considered waste heat. In a combined cycle plant, that waste heat could be used to drive a second, steam turbine to produce more electricity. In such a case, the efficiency could be increased from 40% to nearly 60%. It is possible to go further. The waste heat from the combined cycle electric plant can be used to heat buildings, for instance, increasing overall efficiency to more than 65%. This is called Cogeneration.

How inefficiencies of compressor and turbine affect back work ratio and efficiency of gas turbine?

Inefficiencies in the compressor of a gas turbine cycle increase the back-work ratio and decrease the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine cycle, since they increase the compressor work.


Converting oil into electricity?

There are 3 ways to convert oil to electricity:1. Conventional steam: oil is burned to heat water and steam, to turn the turbine2. Combustion turbine: oil is burned under pressure to get hot exhaust gases3. Combined-cycle technology: oil is firstly combusted using the combustion turbine meathod, then after the gases are recovered, they heat the water in a boiler and power a second turbineHope this helps - Jack (http://edinburghjunction.webs.com)
