Applications of Wind Energy Wind turbine generators have been built in a wide range of power outputs. Machines of low power can generate sufficient electricity for space heating and cooling of homes and for operating domestic appliances. Low power generators are used for corrosion protection of buried metal pipe lines. Higher power turbines upto 50 … Read more
Selection of Site For Wind Mills Q. Site Selection Consideration For WECS Q. What is the best location for wind turbines? Q. Wind Project Site Selection Q. Site Selection for Wind Farm Installation The power available in the wind increases rapidly with the speed, hence wind energy conversion machines should be located preferably in the areas where the … Read more
Biomass and Bio Gas Energy Biomass is organic matter produced by plants, both terrestrial (those grown on land) and aquatic (those grown in water) and their derivatives. It consists of forest crops and residues, special plantation on ‘energy form’ and animal manure. Bio-mass resources are classified into three categories Bio-mass : Traditional form i.e. solid … Read more
Site Selection for Biomass Plants There should be minimum distance from gas production plant to gas consumers. For operation and maintenance, sufficient land shall be available. For formation of biomass, slurry water is required. Therefore, sufficient water shall be available near site. To avoid sleepage of fermented slurry, the site should be at least 10 … Read more

High Temperature Solar Plant using Central Tower Use of central tower receiver. Tower height about 500 m. Array of plane mirrors (Heliostats). Mirrors reflect solar radiations to receiver. Receiver is kept on tower top. Feed water in absorber-receiver (i.e. boiler) converted into steam at high temperature about 700°C. High temperature steam from boiler goes to … Read more
Introduction of Wind Power Plant Winds are generated due to atmospheric temperature difference caused by different areas getting different fluxes of sun-energy (sun-radiations). Air mass tends to move from hot region areas towards colder regional areas this generates winds in the directions. Wind energy depends upon its speed. Speed is higher at higher heights. Thus … Read more
Solar Pond Electric Power Plant Electric Power Generation steps Solar pond filled with brine. Receives solar radiations. Temperature of brine increases-goes to boiler. Working substance evaporates-Vapour R-II goes to turbine-Converted mechanical power drives the generator to produce electrical energy output. R-II liquid goes back to heat exchanger (Boiler) Condenser receives cooling water from cooling water … Read more
