ABSTRACTElectricity generationis the process of
generatingelectric power from other sources ofprimary energy. About
70 % of energy used by India is produced in thermal power plants.
Not just India, people all over the world heavily rely on thermal
power stations. This is because of the abundant availability of
coal, reliable cheap power and early advent of steam engine
technology. Though there is a lot of hue and cry over the
CO2emissions and diminishing coal reserves, coal power continues to
dominate the energy sector. Rankine cycle is the working principle
of the plants all over the world. Water is boiled into steam which
is super heated. This is the phase where the energy of the coal is
give to the steam/water. The high pressure and high temperature
steam is allowed to expand in turbines coupled with generators.
Here, a part of energy is given back by the steam. Most of
remaining heat is dissipated to atmosphere.
