Hydroelectric Power Station: A Generating station which utilizes the potential energy of water at a high level for the generation of electrical energy is known as a Hydroelectric Power Station Hydroelectric Power Station stations are generally…
Steam Turbine Efficiency: The overall Steam Turbine Efficiency is quite low (about 29%) due mainly to two reasons. Firstly, a huge amount of heat is lost in the condenser and secondly heat losses occur at…
Schematic Arrangement of Steam Power Plant: Although Steam Power Plant simply involves the conversion of heat of coal combustion into electrical energy, yet it embraces many arrangements for proper working and efficiency. The schematic arrangement…
Introduction to Generating Station: Introduction to Generating Station - In this modern world, the dependence on electricity is so much that it has become a part and parcel of our life. The ever increasing use…
Transient stability in Electrical Drives: Transient stability in Electrical Drives - From the preceding discussion it is clear that a drive is in its state of equilibrium at constant speed if the developed motor torque…
Dynamic Conditions of a SystemDrive: Dynamic or transient conditions occur in SystemDrive systems when the operating point changes from one steady state condition to another, following a change introduced in the system variables. These variables…
Basic Elements of Electric Drive: Basic Elements of Electric Drive- Before discussion makes clear that an electric drive system basically consists of a mechanical load to which the required mechanical motion is imparted through a…
