Does Electricity gets generated from
poles, grids or transformers?
 
If you think so, then you are wrong.
Today one cannot imagine life without electricity.
 
Home appliances such as light, fan,
Air conditioner (A.C), fridge
or any appliance that runs on electricity
including industrial machineries
are totally incomplete
without electricity.
So come, let us see how and where electricity is generated.
Hello friends, this is Hariprakash.
Welcome to Electrical Tidbits.

So, let us get started with Thermal power plant.
So as you can see in Thermal power plant
mainly ‘coal’ is used as a fuel.
 
Coal is burned to make
steam from water present in boiler.
That steam is used to
rotate turbine which in turn is connected with
alternator connector
from which electricity is generated.
Music
Next is hydroelectric power plant
 
The main element of this plant
is water
or in other words I can say flow of water.
Dams are constructed over rivers through which
tunnels are formed.
At the other end of such tunnels turbine is placed.
Due to the huge force of water the turbine gets rotated
and electricity is produced.
Music
So let’s move on to another power plant.
This is Solar power plant.
The main element of this power plant is Sun
or in other word it is the rays
of the sun.
Solar panel in solar plant are also known as Photo-voltaic cell.
 
This Photo-Voltaic cell converts sunlight into
Direct current(D.C).
Through inverter D.C is converted
converted into Alternating current (A.C)
 
and  is sent to the transmission network.
Music
So let’s move ahead to Wind power plant.
 
It is very simple to understand from the name
that its main source is Wind
and the main element of this plant is Windmill.
The blade of Windmill converts Wind energy
 
 
into mechanical Energy
and rotor converts this mechanical energy
into electrical energy.
Music
let’s see another power plant.
It is Geothermal power plant.
In Geothermal power plant there are two wells:
 
Production well and Injection well.
Steam produced from earth’s depth is used
 
to rotate turbine through which
 
which generator produces electricity.
Steam expelled from turbine
goes to the condenser
where it
converts steam into water
and is sent back to into the earth’s surface
through Injection well.
and this process gets reapeat everytime.
Music
Next is, Ocean power plant
It is also known as Blue Energy or
Oceanic Wave Energy.
Basic theory behind the working of ocean power
plant is, it converts Kinetic Energy of ocean waves
into Mechanical Energy,
Mechanical to Potential Energy
and finally
Potential Energy is converted to electrical energy.
As you can see
there are two piston pumps,
Air piston pump and Water piston pump.
 
Both of them are connected
via T-flange and vacuum valve.
 
This vacuum valve oscillates up
and down when waves emerge due to
which water piston pumps water into water tank and
air piston pumps air into air compressor tank.
Pressurized air and water comes out of their respective outlets
 
 
outlets to rotate the turbine
which in turn generates electricity.
Music
Next is Biomass power plant.
Main fuel of Biomass plant is Bio-waste,
 
such as Agricultural waste product.
Gas obtained from Bio-waste is
used to generate steam from water by burning the gas
and that steam is
used to rotate turbine
which in turn generates electricity.
Music
And at last Nuclear power plant.
In nuclear power plant,
 
Uranium (235) and Thorium .
rods are used.
Neutrons are bombarded on nucleus of Uranium rods
 
due to which the Nuclear
fission takes place
which results into production of high heat energy.
This heat is used by heat exchanger
to convert water into steam and
 
and this steam is used to rotate turbine
which is connected to a generator
that produces electricity.
So as you all saw in this video,
Electricity is generated in power plant.
Poles, grids and Transformers are
 
elements of Transmission Networks through which generated electricity reaches our home.
