  2. Power plant engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_plant_engineering

    Power plant engineering. Power plant engineering, abbreviated as TPTL, is a branch of the field of energy engineering, and is defined as the engineering and technology required for the production of an electric power station. [1] Technique is focused on power generation for industry and community, not just for household electricity production.

  3. Electricity generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

    Power engineering. Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy. For utilities in the electric power industry, it is the stage prior to its delivery (transmission, distribution, etc.) to end users or its storage, using for example, the pumped-storage method.

  4. Power engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_engineering

    Power engineering, also called power systems engineering, is a subfield of electrical engineering that deals with the generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric power, and the electrical apparatus connected to such systems. Although much of the field is concerned with the problems of three-phase AC power – the ...

  5. Thermal power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_power_station

    A thermal power station, also known as a thermal power plant, is a type of power station in which the heat energy generated from various fuel sources (e.g., coal, natural gas, nuclear fuel, etc.) is converted to electrical energy. [1] The heat from the source is converted into mechanical energy using a thermodynamic power cycle (such as a ...

  6. Palisades Nuclear Generating Station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palisades_Nuclear...

    The Palisades Nuclear Generating Station is a moth-balled nuclear power plant located on Lake Michigan, in Van Buren County's Covert Township, Michigan, on a 432-acre (175 ha) site 5 miles (8.0 km) south of South Haven, Michigan, USA. Palisades was operated by the Nuclear Management Company and owned by CMS Energy prior to the sale to Entergy ...

  7. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam–electric_power_station

    A steam–electric power station is a power station in which the electric generator is steam -driven: water is heated, evaporates, and spins a steam turbine which drives an electric generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser. The greatest variation in the design of steam–electric power plants is due ...

  8. Power engineering software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_engineering_software

    Power engineering software. Analysis software for lightning protection used on a power substation. Power engineering software is a software used to create models, analyze or calculate the design of Power stations, Overhead power lines, Transmission towers, Electrical grids, Grounding and Lightning [clarification needed] systems and others.

  9. Steam and water analysis system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_and_water_analysis...

    Steam and water analysis system (SWAS) Corrosion and erosion are major concerns in thermal power plants operating on steam. The steam reaching the turbines need to be ultra-pure and hence needs to be monitored for its quality. A well designed Steam and Water Analysis system (SWAS) can help in monitoring the critical parameters in the steam.
