Steam power station simply involves the conversion of heat of coal combustion into electrical energy, it embraces many arrangements for proper working and efficiency. The schematic arrangement of a modern steam power station is shown in Figure. The whole arrangement can be divided into the following stages for the sake of simplicity: 1. Coal and […]

A generating station which converts heat energy of coal combustion into electrical energy is known as a steam power station. A steam power station basically works on the Rankine cycle. Steam is produced in the boiler by utilizing the heat of coal combustion. The steam is then expanded in the prime mover (i.e., steam turbine)

Bulk electric power is produced by special plants known as generating stations or power plants. A generating station essentially employs a prime mover coupled to an alternator for the production of electric power. The prime mover (e.g. steam turbine, water turbine etc.) converts energy from some other form into mechanical energy. The alternator converts mechanical
