Alternators

In case of power plants we generally use Synchronous generators, which are also known as Alternators, they are named as synchronous as they rotate at synchronous speed or we can say that they rotate in synchronisim with the stator field being magnetically locked. The reason we are using AC generators instead of DC generators is […]

Power Fact #1 : Sub-Synchronous Resonance

Have you ever heard of Sub-synchronous resonance ? No! then we have something interesting for you regarding SSR. First of all let us explain you what is exactly SSR. Theory: Sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) is a phenomenon in which the resonant frequency of the electrical system coincides with the resonant frequency of the turbine generator shaft […]

How a Thermal Power Plant works ?

 Here we have explained you how a thermal power plant works in both aspects theoretical as well as practical.       Theory : Basically all thermal power plants works on the principle of Rankin cycle and Now a days most of the     power plants  work on the  Rankin cycle principle  with regenerative feed heating and reheat […]
