The kinetic energy developed in a hydro power plant due to gravity in a falling water from higher to lower head is used to rotate a turbine to produce electricity. When it falls to the lower water level, the potential energy stored in the water at the upper water level will release as kinetic energy. This turbine rotates… Read More »
Steam Turbine In a power generating plant, the steam turbine is a favorite primary mover. The capability of the steam turbine can be from 5 megawatts – 2000 megawatts. Working Principle of Steam Turbine- A practical turbine normally has two important parts nozzles and blades. The nozzle is a tool installed at a turbine’s steam inlet. The high-temperature, high-pressure… Read More »
Thermal Power Plant- A thermal power plant is a power plant that converts heat energy into electricity. The most standard source of electricity is the thermal power plant or heat power station. Thermal power plant is also known as coal thermal power plant and steam turbine power plant. Theory of Thermal Power Station- The thermal power plant or… Read More »
