Today we will explore electrical energy, better known
as electricity So What Exactly Is Electricity? This electric current is generated in a power plant, and then sent out over a power grid to your homes, and ultimately to your power outlets.

I guess the next question would be...
What is Electric Current? The movement of charges such as electrons is called current, and this electrical current is what powers household appliances.

So How Is An Electric Current Generated?
Electric current generation - whether from fossil fuels, nuclear, re-
newable fuels, or other sources is usually based on the: Simple Equation For Electricity Generation

Power Generated
A power station (also referred to as a generating station, power
plant, powerhouse or generating plant) is an industrial facility for the generation of electric power.

Steam Turbine Power Plants Gas Turbine Power Plants Combined Cycle Power Plants Internal combustion reciprocating engines are used for small cogen- eration plants likes - Hospitals, office buildings, industrial plants, and other critical facilities. Micro turbines, Stirling engine and internal combustion reciprocating engines are low-cost solutions for using opportunity fuels, such as landfill gas, digester gas from water treatment plants and waste gas from oil production.

Seminar Types of Power Plants
Power Generated On the Basis of Duty Base Load Power Plants - Base Load Power Plants run nearly con- tinually to provide that component of system load that doesn’t vary during a day or week. Peaking Power Plants - Peaking power plants meet the daily peak load, which may only be for a one or two hours each day. While their incremental operating cost is always higher than base load plants Load Following Power Plants - Load following power plants can eco- nomically follow the variations in the daily and weekly load, at lower cost than peaking plants and with more flexibility than base load plan Performance Efficiencies: All thermal power plants produce waste heat energy as a by product of the useful electrical energy produced. The amount of waste heat energy equals or exceeds the amount of energy converted into useful electricity. Gas-fired power plants can achieve “50%” conversion efficiency while coal and oil plants achieve around “30–49%”.

Nuclear Thermal Power Plant
The heat is produced by fission in a nuclear reactor (a light water reactor). Directly or indirectly, water vapour (steam) is produced. The pressurized steam is then usually fed to a multi-stage steam turbine.

Jay Prakash Keshri (YIT) Power Generation August 22, 2020 10 / 16 Seminar Hydraulic Power Plant
Hydraulic Power Plant / Hydroelectricity
The production of electrical power through the use of the gravita- tional force of falling or flowing water. It is the most widely used form of renewable energy.

Seminar Hydraulic Power Plant
Generating Methods of Hydroelectricity
Conventional ( dams ): Most hydroelectric power comes from the
potential energy of dammed water driving a water turbine and gen- erator. Pumped-Storage: This method produces electricity to supply high peak demands by moving water between reservoirs at different el- evations. Run-of-the-River: Run of the river hydropower could provide po- tential to drive the turbine. Ride: A tidal power plant makes use of the daily rise and fall of ocean water due to tides. Underground: An underground power station makes use of a large natural height difference between two waterways, such as a waterfall or mountain lake.

Wind station are the ones that transform wind energy into another usefull kind of energy. A wind form consist of almost a hundred of winds turbines con- nected to electric power transmission network.

Geothermal Power Plant
Geothermal electricity is electricity generated from geothermal en- ergy. Technologies in use include dry steam power plants, flash steam power plants and binary cycle power plants.

Jay Prakash Keshri (YIT) Power Generation August 22, 2020 14 / 16 Seminar Geothermal Power Plant
Types of Geothermal Power Plant
Dry Steam Power Plant -They directly use geothermal steam of
150°C or greater to turn turbines. Flash Steam Power Plants - Flash steam plants pull deep, high- pressure hot water into lower-pressure tanks and use the resulting flashed steam to drive turbines. They require fluid temperatures of at least 180°C, usually more. Binary Cycle Power Plants - The moderately hot geothermal water is passed by a secondary fluid with a much lower boiling point than water. This causes the secondary fluid to flash vaporize, which then drives the turbines.
