Types of MHD Power Plants The operation of MHD systems are broadly divided as follows : Open cycle system Closed cycle system 1. Open Cycle MHD System : Figure A shows an open cycle MHD power plant. The system uses an MHD generator in conjunction with conventional steam power plant. The fuel used may be … Read more
Fuels and Material Used In MHD Plants MHD plants can use conventional fuels like oil, coal, natural gas, kerosene, benzene, toluene. It can also use nuclear energy or any other form which can produce high temperature. The materials used in construction of MHD plants must have temperature resistance. Also, the high temperatures combined with alkaline … Read more
Working Principle of MHD Generator An MHD generator like a turbo generator is an energy conversion device. It can be used with any high temperature heat source like chemical, nuclear, solar energy etc. In an MHD system, hot gases act as the conductor. When gases are heated to sufficient temperature, one or more of the … Read more
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
