Introduction of Magneto Hydrodynamic (MHD) Power Plants Magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) is a device which converts the heat energy of a fuel directly into electrical energy without a conventional electric generator. In a conventional thermal power plant the maximum temperature of the working fluid is restricted by the metallurgical properties of the turbine and other components … Read more
Advantages and Disadvantages of Tidal Power Advantages of Tidal Power : Energy is freely available and inexhaustible. Power can be used to meet local needs of coastal area and for peak loads. Power is ensured round the year though its operation is intermittent. It is pollution free. It is unaffected by the vagaries of monsoon. … Read more
Types of Hydraulic Turbines for Tidal Power Plants System Following types of hydraulic turbines can be used for tidal power plants : Kaplan turbines with variable pitch blades. Special bulb type turbine generator sets in an enclosed steel shell.
Tidal Power Plants (Single Basin System) The tidal range of 5 m and above available in particular locations can be utilized to operate a hydraulic turbine. The mechanical power of the turbine can be used to run a generator to produce electrical power. In case of power generation by tides, the water during high tides … Read more
Tidal Energy Tidal energy is renewable source of hydro energy which is available due to rise and fall of tides which occurs twice a day. The tides are caused due to the gravitational attraction of moon and sun upon the rotating earth. The highest level of tidal water is known as flood tide or high … Read more
Scope For Geothermal Energy in India In India we have about 150 known geothermal sites which can produce geothermal fluids upto 160°C either in the form of hot springs (upto 90°C) and shallow water reservoirs (upto 160°C). However, the main locations of geothermal fields are : Puga Valley in J and K. Manikaran in Himachal … Read more

Hot Dry Rock (HDR) Resources Hot dry rock receives heat from magma. The temperatures are in the range of 150°C to 290°C which are available at a depth of about 5 km. Similar to oil well technology, the recovery of heat from HDR is done by drilling a deep hole in the rock and then … Read more
Applications of Geothermal Fluid for Low Temperature Systems The heat of geothermal fluid available at low temperature can be utilized by heating liquid or air in a heat exchanger. The thermal fluid after transferring heat is re-injected through a well into the ground. The hot liquid or air so heated can be utilized for various … Read more
Applications of Hydrothermal Resources Hydrothermal resources are those in which the water is heated by contact with the hot rock as explained above. These resources are located at shallow to moderate depths of 100 m to 5 km. Hydrothermal resources are further subdivided into : Vapour dominated (dry steam fields) Liquid dominated (wet steam fields) … Read more
