In principle, power plants of this type are similar to tower ones, but they are structurally different. It uses separate modules, each of which generates electricity. The module includes both a reflector and a receiver. A parabolic assembly of mirrors is installed on the support, forming a reflector. Mirror booster – A concentrator of solar radiation with a mirror coating. […]
Tower solar power plants
Tower Solar Power Plant – A solar power plant in which radiation from an optical concentrating system formed by the field of heliostats is directed to a tower-mounted solar energy receiver. The tower power plants were originally based on the principle of water evaporation under the influence of solar radiation. Water vapor is used here as a working fluid. Located […]
Hydroelectric power plant (HPP)
A hydroelectric power plant (HPP) is a power plant that converts the energy of moving water into electrical energy. Hydroelectric power plants are being installed on rivers. With the help of the dam, a water height difference is created (before and after the dam). The resulting water pressure drives the turbine blades. The turbine drives generators that generate electricity. Depending […]
Thermal power plants
Thermal Power Plants (TPPs) The most powerful power plants are located in places where fuel is extracted. TPPs using high-calorie, transportable fuel are consumer-oriented. It should be borne in mind that several circuits can be provided in its design – the coolant from the fuel reactor may not go directly to the turbine, but give its heat in the heat […]
