FUNDAMENTAL OF POWER GENERATION
FUNDAMENTAL OF POWER GENERATION
Energy = Capability to do work.
Light energy
Heat energy
Mechanical energy
Gravitational energy
Electrical energy
Sound energy
Chemical energy
Nuclear/atomic energy
Electricity is produce by transforming other forms of energy to electricity.
A generator is a machine that can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Conductor carry current
Magnetic field
Movement of conductor in magnetic field
Principle of Power
E = BLV Sin θ
E = Electromotive force
B = Magnetic force vein
L = Conductor Length/number
V = Velocity of motion
θ = Angle between the directions of motion conductors and flux line
The concept used in the operation of power generation in power plant
Turbine is rotated → Turbine drives the dynamo connected to it. A dynamo has a coil of wire that is between magnets ↴
The coil of wire cuts the lines of magnetic force and produces an electric current
CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION
A single-phase generator has a single slip rings, while the three- phase generator has three slip rings
The construction of 3-phase generator is slightly different from the construction of 1- phase generator, by the number of slip rings
Convert mechanical energy to electrical energy the magnetic field is moved or cut in the direction of the cable / conductor that can carry current
This process is known as electromagnetic induction current will exist in the conductor
INTRODUCTION TO GENERATOR
It is a machine used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy
Generator works to replace the main supply when the main supply is cut off or absent
There are two type of generator that is AC Generator and DC Generator
Petrol generator
Diesel generator
Steam turbine generator
Hydro turbine generator
Gas turbine generator
Wind turbine generator
Nuclear turbine generator
Mixture of diesel and compressed air in the combustion chamber
This hot gas mixture expands and turns the turbine
A dynamo connected to a turbine generates electricity
Petroleum or natural gas is burned to boil water and produce steam
Steam under high pressure is used to turn the turbine
A generator connected to the turbine generates electricity
Water from the dam is channeled down
The energy from water turns the turbine
The turbine drives the dynamo to produces electricity
