Power plants

Hydropower, or hydroelectric power, is the most common and least expensive source of renewable electricity. Hydropower technologies have a long history of use because of their many benefits, including high availability and lack of emissions. Hydropower is fueled by water, so it is a clean fuel source. Hydropower technologies use flowing water to create energy […]

Tides are the daily swells and sags of ocean waters relative to coastlines due to the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. Although the moon is much smaller in mass than the sun, it exerts a larger gravitational force because of its relative proximity to earth. This force of attraction causes the oceans

Biomass is an organic matter produced by plants, both grown on land (terristial biomass) and grown on water (aquatic biomass) and their derivatives and animal manure. The energy obtained from biomass is called the biomass energy. Biomass can be considered a form of solar energy as it is used indirectly to grow these plants by photosynthesis.

Types of Biogas Plant The biogas plants are built in different sizes and shapes depending on the process carried out. These plants are mainly classified as: Continuous or Batch Type Biogas Plants In the continuous type of biogas plant the biomass is fed regularly to the digester and it delivers the biogas continuously. Continuous type

The biogas is produced by digestion, hydrolysis and hydro-gasification. The composition of biogas is as follows: The presence of CO2, in biogas reduces its octane rating. The octane rating of biogas is 110 with CO2. In case the CO2 is removed from the biogas (CH4) its octane rating increases to about 130 as against the

Hi friends,   In this article, I am going to discuss the MHD generator working principle. Also I will provide you some basic information about it.   A Magneto Hydrodynamic Generator is a device which converts heat energy of a fuel directly into electrical energy without a conventional electric generator. This system eliminates all the

Hi friends,   In this article I am discussing the OTEC working principle, types, advantages and disadvantages. You will find this article informative and interesting, I hope so.   The oceans and rivers cover about 70% of the earth’s surface which receives, store and dissipates the vast amount of thermal energy. Thus they act as

Geothermal Power Plant Working Principle The geothermal energy in the form of heat energy can be used to generate electricity economically and efficiently. It is a renewable source of energy and is inexhaustible like solar or wind energy. Though the amount of thermal energy within the earth is very large, useful resources of geothermal energy are

Wind energy is an indirect form of solar energy since wind is produced chiefly by the uneven heating of the earth’s crust by the sun. The kinetic energy of the wind can be utilized to produce with the help of wind turbine. Wind Power Plant Working Principle As the free wind stream interacts with turbine

Hi friends, in this article, I am discussing the nuclear power plant working principle and hope you will find it informative. The breaking up of nuclei of heavy atoms (U235 or Th232) into two nearly equal parts with the release of a huge amount of energy is known as nuclear fission. The release of a
