Electric power plants

 Electric power plants

  •   The theory of electric power generation

It is known in the science of electricity and mechanics that there are three elements, these elements are the field, motion and current. In order to generate electricity, we must provide the field and movement, and according to the type of movement, the type of generation. From the previous figure, it is shown that the generator shaft must be rotated until the magnetic field of the coil is cut and the electric current is created, and the generator shaft is connected to the turbine shaft, if the turbine shaft must be rotated by any means of rotation, according to the type of rotation process called the type of the generator station.

OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION LINES (OHTL) GROUNDING

Image
  OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION LINES (OHTL) GROUNDING   In general, a protection system must be provided for the transmission towers, as well as a safe environment for the personnel working on these towers. A grounding wire is used above the tower. And it has several names earth wire, shield wire, skywire, static wire. Its type can be steel or OPGW wire. Lightning Protection An important use of earth wire on transmission lines is lightning protection. It is a grounded wire or more placed above phase conductors for the purpose of intercepting direct strokes in order to protect the phase conductors from the direct strokes. to take these direct lightning strokes and shield the conductors. The lightning current is expected to follow a path along the shield wire, down the tower, and through the tower footing resistance to the ground. So Tower footing impedances should be obtained as low as is economically justified. (OPGW) Ground Wire OPGW ground wire is a dual functioning cable a

The mechanism of the electric flashover of high voltage insulators

Image
 Insulator Flashover One of the main reasons for flashover of high voltage insulators is the contamination deposited on the insulator surface These particles are of natural origin or may be generated by pollution that often results from industrial, agricultural or construction activities. When the line insulators are contaminated, many insulator flashes occur during light fog unless the bending rings protect the insulators or special fog-type insulators are used   Changes in channel position of contaminated flashover  The mechanism of the electric flashover of the insulator
