What is Windmill or Wind Power Turbine? Windmill or wind turbines are very simple devices which are used to generate wind electricity by using the wind power. The principle of wind mill is very simple i.e. convert the wind’s kinetic energy into mechanical energy which further converts the mechanical energy to electricity so the overall… Read More »
As the name is implying a thermal power plant or thermal power station is used to generate the electricity using the heat. The source of heat can be any fuel like coal, gas, oil and urban solid waste etc. energy of coal into electrical energy. The fuel typically coal is burnt in a steam boiler to… Read More »
What is a steam boiler? A boiler or a steam boiler in simple words is a device used to generate the steam at a desired pressure and temperature by transferring heat energy which is generally produced by burning fuel in order heat the water to change it to steam. The steam used in the boiler… Read More »
Direct current or DC machines are used for the conversion of one form of energy to another. Similarly a DC Generator is used to generate the energy which works on the principle of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Basic law or principle behind the generator is the Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction which states that… Read More »
