Wind Power Station Diagram
Diagram of pressurized water reactor pwrs and bwrs the main design is the pressurized water reactor pwr which has water in its primary cooling heat transfer circuit and generates steam in a secondary circuit.
Wind power station diagram. 3 the blades of the wind turbine are attached to the nose and the rotor and begin to spin in ample wind. 2 the nose of the wind turbine is constructed with an aerodynamic design and faces the wind. Step by step look at each piece of a wind turbine from diagram above. The ministry of new and renewable energy mnre has announced a revised.
The ministry of new and renewable energy mnre has fixed a target of 10 500 mw between 2007 12 but an additional generation capacity of only about 6 000 mw might be available for commercial use by 2012. Wind farm wind turbine wind power windmill power station png size. Humans use this wind flow or motion energy for many purposes. This chapter discusses the designs of four different wind power installations.
Wind power is a sustainable and renewable energy and has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels. The terms wind energy and wind power both describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines occupy a lesser space than normal power stations use. Sailing flying a kite and even generating electricity.
Except for the reactor itself a nuclear power station works like most coal or gas fired power stations. This difference in kinetic energy is converted into mechanical power. Wind power or wind energy is the use of wind to provide the mechanical power through wind turbines to turn electric generators and traditionally to do other work like milling or pumping. This is the basic wind power plant working principle.
Wind power plant s status all over the world 16. 1 notice from the figure that the wind direction is blowing to the right and the nose of the wind turbine faces the wind. 1021 29kb overhead power line electric power transmission transmission tower high voltage high voltage png size. Wind farms consist of many individual wind turbines which are connected.
The savings of wind energy can be better spent elsewhere. Wind is free so no phenomenal costs are spent using a natural energy source. There are four types of wind power plants such as 1 a water pumping station that uses a savonius rotor 2 a low speed wind turbine which is coupled to a piston pump 3 a horizontal axis aerogenerator and 4 a darrieus rotor that drives an electrical generator. As the free wind stream interacts with turbine rotor it transfers a part of the kinetic energy to the rotor due to which its speed decreases.
