  • How do you generate electricity using coal www.edpvideo.com, Effective Digital Presentations, produced this incredible 3D animation to show how a coal fueled power plant produces electricity. This 10 minute tutorial video was produced specifically for FirstEnergy Corp. This is a fully 3D animated video.

    This should be shown in schools and it should be taught that solar and wind cannot even compare to coal fired power plants. This should be marveled.

    I drive by a power plant every day on my way to work, and it's amazing to know all this goes on inside that building. I always assumed since I was a kid that the conveyors simply fed the coal straight into the boilers, but I guess that method would get far less electricity and far more pollution out it.

    I agree with all the other comments stating that this is a useful video.
    On my end, I am starting to learn about electricity generation and electricity distribution. I will learn about other (i.e. non-electricity) forms of energy as well. This video was a useful one. Thank-you.

    A power plant converts one form of power, like coal's chemical power, into moving the electricity that's ALWAYS in wires. Also, in alternating current systems such as this, the electricity in the wire never moves more than a tiny fraction of an inch. It moves a bit one way, then it moves back to its starting point, 60 full cycles a second in the US. That tiny movement however is enough to transmit a lot of power. Therefore, you don't "make" electricity. You use it to transmit power.

    Like "mdadnan" said the steam is sent back to the furnace. After the first series of the turbine (High Pressure section) it is reheated in the boiler and gains heat but no pressure and moves to the intermediate pressure stage of the turbine. The steam has to be cooled so it can be pumped into the boiler again as water. Also to help efficiency steam is extracted from different locations of the turbine and sent to heaters to warm the water going into the boiler before it gets to the actual fire.

    @MiKExAUS I think you are confusing two different water systems. The water being sent out to be cooled is not the water put into the boiler. It is sent from the cooling tower through pipes in the condenser that the steam simply flows around to condense the steam back to water. The steam that has condensed flows directly from the condenser through a series of heaters and back to the boiler.

    Condensing the steam after the turbine reduces back pressure on the turbine to below atmosphere. This helps efficiency by extracting all the energy left in the exhaust steam.

    He is referring to superheated steam at about 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. They need it superheated so that it doesn't condense until it has exits the turbine which has many different stages. This makes the steam turbines very efficient and cuts fuel costs. These huge turbines and central power stations are very efficient and make power affordable and reliable to everyone, not just the people who can afford a Tesla Car(lol). It the steam condenses to water and hit the blading, not good.

      I believe he meant the sophisticated process to the entire operation. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with fossil-fired power plants at all, but it's undeniably very interesting how much goes into it, just so much fluid engineering. Using the leftovers to recycle into mass-produced drywall, the stacks reusing most of the water except the amounts just too hot to not evaporate, and the fact it's 1.5 million homes, even though it's dirty it's still very sophisticated. Besides, they're being shut down slowly but surely as the world expands on clean energies, might as well just be interested. It'll be gone soon enough.

    Yes, it is a waste of energy to just cool down water without reusing it. This is why they don't.

  • @SleepymanDan
    @SleepymanDan 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Some cooling is required by the second law of Thermo, as DrBuzz0 stated above. Still, there is some available energy in the steam after the turbine. However, without the condensor, there is no vacuum created and the gas doesn't move through the turbine as well as it should. Trying to do too much with the steam coming out of the turbine can be likened to a turbocharger in a car. Even though you are using the remaining energy to get more power, you actually end up with lower gas mileage.
