Steam Turbine: The steam generated in the boiler is sent through a steam turbine. Theturbine has blades that rotate when high velocity steam flows across them. This rotation of turbine blades is used to generate electricity.4)
Generator: A generator is connected to the steam turbine. When the turbine rotates, thegenerator produces electricity which is then passed on to the power distribution systems.5)
Special mountings: There is some other equipment like the economizer and air pre-heater.An economizer uses the heat from the exhaust gases to heat the feed water. An air pre-heater heats the air sent into the combustion chamber to improve the efficiency of the combustion process.6)
Ash collection system: There is a separate residue and ash collection system in place tocollect all the waste materials from the combustion process and to prevent them fromescaping into the atmosphere.Apart from this, there are various other monitoring systems and instruments in place to keeptrack of the functioning of all the devices. This prevents any hazards from taking place in the plant.
