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
