Thermal power plant to get into the thermal power plant

1. Thermal Power Plant Project Presentation

2. Introduction A thermal power plant converts heat energy into electrical energy. It operates on the principle of the Rankine Cycle where water is heated, converted into steam, and used to drive a steam turbine connected to an alternator.

3. Main Components 1. Boiler – Converts water into steam. 2. Turbine – Steam energy is converted into mechanical energy. 3. Condenser – Condenses exhaust steam from the turbine. 4. Cooling Tower – Cools the water for reuse. 5. Generator – Converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

4. Working Principle 1. Fuel (coal/oil/gas) is burned in the boiler to produce steam. 2. High-pressure steam rotates the turbine. 3. The turbine shaft drives the generator to produce electricity. 4. Exhaust steam is condensed and reused in the cycle.

5. Advantages • Can generate large amounts of electricity. • Reliable and continuous power supply. • Fuel (coal) is relatively cheap and available.

6. Disadvantages • High pollution (CO₂, SO₂ emissions). • High water consumption. • Low efficiency compared to renewable sources.

7. Applications • Electricity generation for industries and households. • Base load power supply for the grid. • Used in combined heat and power (CHP) systems.

8. Conclusion Thermal power plants play a vital role in meeting electricity demand. However, adopting cleaner technologies and improving efficiency are essential to minimize environmental impact.
