How do most commercial power plants obtain the mechanical energy that is needed to rotate the generator's turbine blades?

Most commercial power plants obtain mechanical energy to rotate the generator's turbine blades by converting various energy sources into heat and then into mechanical energy. In fossil fuel plants, coal, natural gas, or oil is burned to produce steam, which drives the turbine. Nuclear power plants generate heat through nuclear fission, producing steam in a similar manner. Renewable energy plants, such as wind and hydro, utilize wind or flowing water directly to turn the turbines without the need for steam.


How much power generate from bhakra nangal dem?

The Bhakra Nangal Dam, located on the Sutlej River in India, has a total installed hydroelectric power generation capacity of 1,325 megawatts (MW). This capacity is achieved through its two powerhouses: the Bhakra Powerhouse with six units of 150 MW each and the Nangal Powerhouse with five units of 110 MW each. The dam plays a crucial role in providing irrigation and hydroelectric power to northern India.


What is included in a hydraulic power pack?

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.
