Lesics - How does a Thermal power plant work? The operation of a thermal power plant is explained in a logical manner with help of animation in this video. Starting from the very basic question a conceptual overview of Rankine cycle is provided here. Topics such a Generator, Steam turbine, condenser, feed water pump, boiler are illustrated initially. The basic Rankine cycle is modified and use of super hearing, reheating and feed water heating (deaerator) is explained there after. You can experience a virtual reality tour (360° video) of coal based thermal power plant in this video. The different parts of the power plant are explained here with help of animation. Nuclear and coal based thermal power plants together produce almost half of the world`s power. Steam turbines lie at the heart of these power plants. They convert thermal energy in the steam to mechanical energy. This video will explain the inner workings of the steam turbines and why they are constructed the way they are in a step by step logical manner. |
