Q1. Explain Conventional and non conventional power plants
Conventional power plants use fossil fuels to generate electricity while non-conventional power plants use renewable sources.
Conventional power plants burn fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas to generate electricity
Non-conventional power plants use renewable sources like solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy
Conventional power plants are cheaper to build and operate but contribute to pollution and climate change
Non-conventional power plants are more expensive to b...read more
Q2. Describe Thermal power plant in brief
Thermal power plant generates electricity by converting heat energy into electrical energy.
Fuel is burned to produce heat
Heat is used to produce steam
Steam drives the turbine
Turbine drives the generator
Generator produces electricity
Examples: coal-fired power plant, gas-fired power plant, nuclear power plant
Q3. Advantages and disadvantages of Thermal power plant
Thermal power plants use fossil fuels to generate electricity. They have advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages: Reliable source of electricity, low operating cost, high efficiency, easy to operate and maintain
Disadvantages: High initial cost, environmental pollution, non-renewable source of energy, limited availability of fuel
Example: Advantages - Thermal power plants provide a reliable source of electricity that can be generated 24/7. They have low operating costs and high...read more
Q4. What do you mean by Co-Generation plants
Co-Generation plants are power plants that produce both electricity and useful heat simultaneously.
Co-Generation plants are also known as Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants.
They use a single fuel source to generate both electricity and heat.
The heat produced during electricity generation is captured and used for heating buildings or industrial processes.
Co-Generation plants are more efficient than traditional power plants because they utilize the waste heat that is normally...read more
Q5. What is Tarrif and how its analysed
Tariff is a tax imposed on imported or exported goods. It is analyzed based on the type of goods and the country of origin/destination.
Tariff is a form of protectionism used by governments to protect domestic industries from foreign competition.
Tariffs can be specific (fixed amount per unit) or ad valorem (percentage of the value of the goods).
Tariffs can also be used as a tool for diplomacy, by imposing tariffs on countries that do not comply with certain policies or agreeme...read more
Q6. What are the types of boilers
Boilers are classified into different types based on their design, fuel type, and usage.
Fire-tube boilers
Water-tube boilers
Electric boilers
Gas boilers
Oil boilers
Combination boilers
Condensing boilers
Solid fuel boilers
Q7. Describe CHP
CHP stands for Combined Heat and Power, a system that generates electricity and heat simultaneously.
CHP is a highly efficient energy system that captures and utilizes waste heat produced during electricity generation.
It can be used in various settings such as hospitals, universities, and industrial facilities.
CHP reduces energy costs and carbon emissions by up to 30% compared to traditional energy systems.
Examples of CHP technologies include gas turbines, steam turbines, and ...read more
