    Lesson 1 Thermal Power Plant Cycle

    Uploaded by

    santiago Valle
    This document provides an introduction and overview of thermal power plants and their basic cycles and components. It discusses the four main components - boilers, turbines, generators, and condensers. It explains how chemical energy from fuel is converted to thermal energy in the boiler, then to mechanical energy via the turbine, then to electrical energy via the generator. Key aspects covered include the combustion process, use of steam as the working fluid, and importance of controlling steam pressure and temperature. It also mentions Coleson Cove Generating Station as the largest power plant in New Brunswick.

    Thermal Power Plant
    What are the four main
    components to a conventional
    power plant cycle?
    2. TURBINE

    1. BOILER 3. GENERATOR

    4. CONDENSER
    Energy can neither be created nor
    destroyed, however it can be converted.
    What forms of energy are found in a
    conventional power plant cycle?
    Thermal Energy  Mechanical Energy

    • Pressurized steam (thermal energy) is


    2. TURBINE expanded through the turbine, imparting
    rotation on the shaft (mechanical energy).

    3. GENERATOR
    1. BOILER
    Mechanical Energy  Electrical
    Chemical Energy  Thermal Energy Energy

    • Fuel (chemical energy) is put • The rotation of the shaft produces


    through the combustion process electromagnetic current in the
    to produce steam from thermal generator to produce electrical
    energy. energy.
    4. CONDENSER
    The combustion process is used to generate
    heat for producing steam. What three main
    parameters affect combustion for any type
    of fuel? Hint: 3 T’s…
    DISCUSSION
    The Three T’s of Combustion
    Time
    Temperature
    Turbulence
    Steam is the gaseous form of water and
    is used as the working fluid. What two
    characteristics of steam are important
    to control? Why do you think that is?
    Steam Characteristics
    Pressure Temperature
    CAN YOU SEE STEAM?
    Which power plant in New Brunswick has the capability to
    produce the most power?

    Coleson Cove
    Generating Station

    • It has the capacity to


    generate 972 MW.

    • This plant sits idle


    most of the time.
