Based Load and Peak Load in Power Plant Every generating station has to respond and supply the varying demand of power throughout the day. Hence, it is necessary that individual generators are required to bring into service or shut down from service depending on whether the load is increasing or decreasing. The peak-load on the station … Read more

Advantages of Power Plant Interconnections Following are the major advantages of interconnecting various power stations and systems : Increased reliability of supply : If one of the power plant fails to supply the load due to fault etc. then the system can be fed from the other stations. Generation of power in a hydro-station is … Read more

Combined Operation of Power Plant Electrical power is being generated in large generating stations, which are either hydro thermal, nuclear power stations. These generating stations are mostly far away from the load centres (i.e, where the load is required). Hence, it is required to erect large and long transmission network to feed the electricity from … Read more

Combined Operation of Hydro Electric and Steam Power Plant Interconnection of these type of generating plants enable the water and fuel resources to be used economically. At the times , when its raining and rivers and lakes are full of flood water, hydro-electric plants can be operated at their maximum capacity so that coal and … Read more

Factors Affecting the Cost of Generation Average Demand The average demand on a station is always referred in particular period i.e. a day, a month or a year. Depending upon this period the average demand is either daily, monthly or yearly.  In case of daily average demand = kWH delivered by the station in 24 … Read more

Choice of Size and Number of Generation Units, Difficulties Involved in Economics of Power Generation The engineers concern, draw the probable load curves, determine from it the other characteristics of the load. The use of this data is made to determine the size and number of units of generating plant. In order to calculate the … Read more

Curves Uses in System Operations of Electrical Power Plant Load Curve The electrical load on a generating station varies from time to time; depending upon the requirement of different types of consumers. The load curve is a graph, which represents on the generating station recorded at the interval of half-hour or hour against the time chronological … Read more
