Thermal Power Stations

 

Thermal Power Stations

Work theory:

Heat water and turn it into steam, which is directed to the turbine blades, and it turns and the generator rotates with it, producing an electric current.

Features

1. The largest capacity (the largest unit is 627 MW)

2. The life span is greater

3. It increases the stability of the network

4. Efficiency 35% - 42%

5. Operating cost is normal

Defects

1- The construction cost is high

2- The equipment takes a lot of space

3- They are only built near the water source

4- The length of time to access the network (it takes from 5 to 7 hours)

The idea of working thermal power 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

Transposition tower

  Transposition tower In electrical power transmission, a transposition tower is a transmission tower that changes the relative physical positions of the conductors of a transmission line in a Polyphase system. A transposition tower allows these sections to be connected together, while maintaining adequate clearance for the conductors. To maintain balanced conditions of reactance and capacitance on the three phases of a transmission line, at least one transposition barrel should be placed between major terminals. However, it has been determined that for less than 161 km (100 mi) between terminals, the unbalance is not sufficient to affect the operation of the transmission line or the protective relays.        وهي مصممه بترتيب خاص يسمح بتبادل مواقع الموصلات الطورية على الابراج تعود الحاجة إلى تبديل مواقع الموصلات إلى أن قيمه كل من محاثه وسعه الخط الطورية غير متساوية على الأطوار الثلاثة نظرا لعدم التماثل الهندسي بين مواقع تلك الموصلات   على الحامل، الأمر الذي يؤدى إلى عدم تماثل
