Steam Power Station: Components, Application, and Working Mechanism. Steam Boiler, Thermal Power Plants. A steam power station utilizes heat energy produced from burning coal to generate electrical energy. This kind of power station is generally used around the world. Because of the wealth of fuel (coal), this set of the power station can be
Read Moreturbine/generator costs in Table 3 include the steam turbine, generator, and generator control system. The costs do not include the boiler, steam loop, and controls. Non-fuel O&M costs range from 0.6 to 1.0 ¢/kWh for the three steam turbines shown in Table 3
Read MoreIn Figure 3, fuel is burned in a boiler to produce high pressure steam that is sent to a backpressure or extraction steam turbine. The steam turbine, similar to the prime mover in Figure 2, is connected to an electric generator. The steam then exits the turbine at a
