Thermal Power Plant Overview Diagram. Of the universidade federal de itajubá unifei in brazil has several sankey diagrams to visualize energy flows in repowered thermal power plants. The fuel is transported from mines via trains to the fuel storage facility in a power plant.
The mstp is based on the beam down concept and has a molten salt integral receiver which also houses the steam generation system sgs and the thermal energy storage system. A coal based thermal power plant converts the chemical energy of the coal into electrical energy. The low pressure exhaust from the turbine passes through a steam condenser and is recycled to where it was heated.
The condensed steam is pressurized with a pump from point 1 to point 2 and is then heated up in a boiler to reach from point 2 to point 3.
A thermal power plant burns enormous amounts of coal. Schematic diagram of a thermal power plant. A coal based thermal power plant converts the chemical energy of the coal into electrical energy. A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station in which the heat source is nuclear reactor.
