Adani Power Mechanical Maintenance Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

General aptitude test follwed by a technical round. Questions were asked from different online forums/sites. Lengthy to be solved at own. it was a CBT.

GD was conducted in batches of 10 to 15. Firstly all members were given 3 choices of topics for GD. GD topics were very general. Then the selected topic was reserved for the GD. it was more like a debate. Everyone raised volume to ensure that they are heard more. Those who spoke more irrespective of the quality of arguments, finally aced the GD round.

Q3. Do you know how a thermal power plant works
Ans. 
A thermal power plant generates electricity by converting heat energy into electrical energy through the use of steam turbines.
• Thermal power plants burn fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, or oil to heat water and produce steam.

• The steam is then used to drive a turbine connected to a generator, which produces electricity.

• The waste heat from the turbine is usually released into the environment through cooling towers...read more

Q5. How WTG generate electricity
Ans. 
Wind Turbine Generators (WTG) generate electricity through the conversion of wind energy into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy.
• Wind turns the blades of the turbine

• Blades are connected to a rotor

• Rotor spins a generator to produce electricity

• Electricity is then sent to a transformer for distribution

• Example: Vestas V164-9.5 MW wind turbine

Q6. Why we use fluid coupling
Ans. 
Fluid couplings are used to transmit power from one shaft to another without direct physical contact, allowing for smooth start-ups and overload protection.
• Fluid couplings help in gradual acceleration of heavy machinery, reducing stress on the equipment

• They provide overload protection by slipping when the torque exceeds a certain limit

• Fluid couplings dampen torsional vibrations, reducing wear and tear on the machinery

• T...read more
