STEAM POWER PLANT

Steam Power Plant:

A Steam Power Plant is also known as a Thermal Power Plant.This provides the major share of Electrical Energy in India as well as in other Countries.In Steam Power Plants,the heat of combustion of fossil fuels such as Coal,Oil and Gas is utilised by the Boilers to raise Steam at High Pressure and Temperature.

Steam Power Plant

The Steam so produced is used in driving the Steam Turbine or sometimes steam Engine coupled to Generators and thus in Generating Electrical Energy.

Essential features of such power plants are Boilers, Turbines coupled to electrical generators,condensers and large number of auxiliaries.

The Thermal Efficiency of Steam Power Plant is quite low that is about 30% and Overall Efficiency is about 29% .In steam power plants more than 50% of total heat of combustion is lost as heat rejected to the condenser.

INDEPENDENT SOURCES AND DEPENDENT SOURCES

Independent sources: There are two types of independent sources they are Independent Voltage source Ideal voltage source::Load voltage is independent of Load current. Practical voltage source:Load voltage depends on Load current. 2. Independent Current source Ideal current source::Load current is independent of Load voltage. Practical current source:Load current depends on Load voltage. Dependent sources: The voltage or current of Dependent sources depends on other circuit parameters.There are four types of Dependent sources they are Voltage Control Voltage Source(VCVS):This means that the Voltage Source is depending on other voltage parameter available in the same circuit. Voltage Control Current Source(VCCS):This means that the Current Source is depending on other voltage parameter available in the same circuit. Current Control Voltage Source(CCVS):This means that the Voltage Source is depending on other Current parameter available in the same...

SWITCHING TRANSIENTS IN TRANSFORMER

Switching Transients: The word Transients is always very Scary for me but not any more hahaaa...........what about you???? Well coming to the point...why do these Switching Transients occur in a Transformer. When the switch is closed when the voltage is maximum...then the flux required by the core is zero and the available flux in the core is also zero and hence NORMAL OPERATION is sufficient When the switch is closed when the voltage is crossing zero...then the flux required by the core is maximum but here the avaliable flux in the core is zero and hence TRANSIENT OPERATION is required Here when the Transient operation takes place then the flux doubles gradually and this is known as Doubling Effect of Transformer.This Doubling Effect causes magnetic in rush current and Damage in the insulation. Using Secondary Harmonic Restraining Coil can reduce all these Drawbacks.
