Power Plant

Hydroelectric power is a form of renewable source of electricity generation. There are various advantages of hydroelectric power plants over gas-turbine power plants, thermal power plants and diesel-engine power plants. These advantages and disadvantages are described in “Hydroelectric Power Plant Layout and Working” along with the layout and working principle of the hydroelectric power plant. […]

Hydroelectric power is a form of renewable energy that uses the potential energy of water at a high level to generate electricity. Being a source of renewable energy hydroelectric power doesn’t generate any greenhouse gasses or air pollution. In this post, we will explore how hydroelectric power plant layout and its working, what are their

A thermal power plant is a Conventional way of generating electricity. In a thermal power plant, the heat and combustion energy do mechanical work. There are various components involved in a thermal power plant. We can divide the thermal power pant parts into four groups as follows. In this post, we’ll discuss each component of

Compressors, combustion chambers, and turbines are the basic components of a gas turbine power plant. The working principle of the gas turbine power plant is explained along with the overview of open and closed-cycle operation. Gas turbine plant components like regenerator, intercooler, and reheater contribute to the energy efficiency of the plant. The working and

In a diesel engine power plant, a combination of diesel engine (act as prime-mover) and alternator generates electricity. In the diesel engine, fuel burns and the gaseous product of the combustion process generates mechanical energy. The alternator converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy and generates electricity. There are various parts in the diesel power
