3. Americans call the night of July 13, 1977 "Night of fear." Then there was
a huge in size and consequences of the accident at the power grids
in New York. Due to lightning and power line in 25 hours 9 million New
Yorkers turned out to be without electricity. Tragedy of the financial
crisis was accompanied by unusually hot weather and the
unprecedented wave of crime. After a power outage on the
fashionable quarters of the city attacked the gang from poor
neighborhoods.
It was after those terrible events in New York, the term "blackout" has
become a commonly used in relation to accidents in the power industry.
4. Already in ancient times the fire was an
indispensable source of heat, light, human,
means for cooking, hunting tool.
Modern community is increasingly
dependent on electricity as well as
heat. Accidents on the electricity
and heating systems applied to
tangible losses to enterprises,
governments and the public.
We can not imagine myself now
without technical equipment you use,
whether it is production, vehicles,
information or life.
Since that time, the development of
technical ideas allowed to reach a new level
of human life.
6. COAL PLANTS
• Coal Plants
produce 44% of
our electricity.
• A typical (500
megawatt) coal
plant burns 1.4
million tons of coal
each year.
• As of 2012, there
are 572
operational coal
plants in the U.S.
with an average
capacity of 547
megawatts.
7. The engine room installed power boilers. They
produces steam for the turbines.
During the combustion of fuel in the water tubes,
arranged inside the boiler is heated to the
boiling point and is converted into steam.
The power boiler comprises of
the plurality of pipelines,
auxiliary devices and
mechanisms.
Boiler drum. It resultant vapor is
separated from the water and
heated to the desired
temperature.
Boiler furnace, which burns fuel
supplied to the boiler.
8. Pipelines station - is "artery" of the station, which
connect its equipment together. Pipelines
steam enters the power boiler of the steam
turbine.
9. Flue gases from fuel combustion, cooled
through the chimney smoke exhausters
removed to the atmosphere.

10. I had the unique opportunity
to visit the Arkhangelsk
cogeneration plant ...
... and see the process of
production of electricity and heat
myself.
11. The paper used CHP fossil fuel
energy. It is produced by burning
natural gas and fuel oil.
Gas distribution point of
Arkhangelsk HPP
All pipelines in the territory of
CHP are yellow
12. Hydroelectricity is the
term referring to
electricity generated
by hydropower; the
production of electrical
power through the use
of the gravitational
force of falling or
flowing water. It is the
most widely used form
of renewable energy,
accounting for 16
percent of global
electricity generation –
3,427 terawatt-hours of
electricity production in
2010, and is expected
to increase about 3.1%
each year for the next
25 years.
13. Of Arkhangelsk HPP for
water taken from the river
Kuznechiha
Treatment - is the processing of water
from a natural source, to bring it into
conformity with the quality requirements
of the process.
14. Pipelines station - is "artery" of the station, which connect
its equipment together. Pipelines steam enters the
power boiler of the steam turbine.
15. • A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic
energy from the wind into electrical power.
• The smallest turbines are used for applications such
as battery charging for auxiliary power for boats or
other smaller things.
• Bigger wind turbines can be used to create large
amounts of electricity that can be sold to electrical
companies.
• Many countries are now creating wind farms to
allow less fossil fuels in the air.
The windmill above is
located at Holy Name High
School in Worcester Mass.
16. Solar power is the conversion of
sunlight into electricity, either
directly using photovoltaics
(PV), or indirectly using
concentrated solar power
(CSP). Concentrated solar
power systems use lenses or
mirrors and tracking systems to
focus a large area of sunlight
into a small beam.
Photovoltaics convert light into
electric current using the
photovoltaic effect. The PV
industry is beginning to adopt
levelized cost of energy (LCOE)
as the unit of cost. For a 10 MW
plant in Phoenix, AZ, the LCOE
17. I've always wondered, where there is electricity in our house?
Who is responsible for ensuring that the apartments, schools, hospitals was always warm?
It turned out that our city is the
main producer of electricity and heat
- Arkhangelsk HPP.
18. HOW DOES IT GET TO OUR
HOMES?
• ELECTRICITY IS TRANSPORTED TO A DISTRIBUTION
CENTER
19. Power line - one of the components of the power system for
transmitting electricity, consisting of wires and auxiliary
devices for transmission and distribution of power between
consumers.
20. Transformer - a device adapted to
raise the voltage of the electric current
to reduce the losses in power lines.
After the generation of
electric power from an
electric transformer flagged.
24. Every year on the last Saturday in March, millions
of people around the world turning off the lights
for an hour. This action - a symbol of our respect
for the home planet, it is designed to draw
attention to the unsustainable use of natural
resources and environmental problems
Energy gives us light and heat. And more in the development
of mankind advances, the more energy it needs.
However, very often people do not think about what fuels that
are used for energy (gas, oil, coal) are irreplaceable natural
resources, which are slowly but surely come to an end.
25. Each of us needs to understand how important it is to conserve energy and use energy
saving simple rules in your home.
0.5 kg of coal
The most efficient way to use energy - just learn how to protect it.
When saving 1 kW/h we saved:
