Thermoelectric Generator Simplified Learning Guide

If you need to learn everything about thermoelectric generator then this page is for you. Thermoelectrical power generator is a solid state device that facilitates direct conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy. Thermoelectric generators function like heat engines, but are less bulky and have no moving parts and are completely silent. The best part… Read More »

Solar Cell Construction & Working Principle

Solar cell is a device or a structure that converts the solar energy i.e. the energy obtained from the sun, directly into the electrical energy. The basic principle behind the function of solar cell is based on photovoltaic effect. Solar cell is also termed as photo galvanic cell. The electricity supplied by the solar cell is… Read More »

photovoltaic effect & photoelectric effect – how solar panels work

This page explains how solar panels work, actually we shall understand what is photovoltaic effect that causes the light to convert in to the electricity or energy. In fact photovoltaic effect also called photoelectric effect is the effect that causes the production of solar electricity using the specific semiconductor materials. Before looking in depth the process of solar energy… Read More »

Importance & Use of Economiser in Thermal Power Plants

Thermal power generation is one of the method that costs high as compared to hydro and other renewable energy methods. Since the fuel burning is involved the wastage of fuel is also high if not properly burned and result is the higher cost of thermal power. The considerable increase of the demand of electricity throughout… Read More »

Understanding Alternating Current or AC Current

The electricity which we use at home is normally the alternating current or AC. AC current is result of alternation of the generator armature or alternator. The electricity or current flows in one direction and then reverse direction. Each cycle in AC current consists of a positive and a negative alternation. During AC generation waveform produced… Read More »

Single phase and 3 phase power comparison

As a new electrical student or a common man this questions comes in mind that why we prefer 3 phase power system. In recent years 3 phase electric wiring has become common and mostly used worldwide for power generation, power transmission, distribution and three phase engines or motors. A single-phase electric power supply is the… Read More »
