  • Basics About Powerplants,Components,Working principal etc.

Course content

1 section • 6 lectures • 42m total length

  • Introduction to PowerPlants8:03

    Explore the role of power plants in development, compare thermal, hydro, nuclear, solar, wind, and biomass options, and explain steam power plant components and site selection criteria.

  • Working of Power Plant11:57

    Explain how hydroelectric plants use dam water to drive a turbine and generator and feed the grid. Compare diesel plants, outlining their layout, components, and key installation pros and cons.

  • Major Components Of Powerplants.4:48

    Learn how heat recovery from boiler flue gases preheats air for combustion, boosting boiler efficiency while noting clinker formation and pressure drops that may require forced draft.

  • High Pressure Boilers-Construction & Working7:22

    Learn about high pressure boilers—construction and working, including forced circulation and compact design, and how they differ from conventional boilers.

  • Types of High Pressure Boilers4:17

    Explore the construction and operation of high-pressure boilers, including Lamon boiler, water circulation, steam separation, and superheated steam for turbine expansion, plus advantages and salt or bubble formation issues.

  • Waste Heat Recovery5:36

    Explore waste heat recovery in thermal power plants, showing how heat from steam turbines and flue gases can be reused with co-generation and heat recovery devices to boost efficiency.

  • Types of High Pressure Boilers

Who this course is for:

  • Electrical engineering  students

  • Power engineering  students

  • Mechanical engineering  students

A power plant is an industrial facility that generates electricity from primary energy. Most power plants use one or more generators that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy in order to supply power to the electrical grid for society's electrical needs

High pressure steam boilers are used in power plants and facilities to generate the steam required to power a variety of industrial processes. High pressure steam boilers are designed to heat steam above 15 psi and water at pressures that exceed 160 psig. Temperatures in high pressure boilers will exceed 250 degrees F.

Types of High Pressure Boilers

  • La Mont Boiler: The Lamont boiler is a forced convection water tube boiler that uses a pump to circulate water. ...
