5. Thermal power plant is generally a steam driven
power plant.
Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a
steam turbine which drives an electrical
generator.
About 70% of the electricity consumed in India is
generated through thermal power plants
Vindhyachal super thermal power plant is the
largest in India
It generates 4360MW of electricity
8. Production of electrical power through the use
of the gravitational force of falling or flowing
water
Nathra Jhakri is the largest power plant of India
It produces 1500MW of electricity
India produces approximately 20% of the world’s
electricity
India ranks 5th in the world in generation of
hydropower
9. Elimination of the cost of fuel
Hydroelectric plants have long economic
lives, with some plants still in service after
50–100 years
Do not directly produce carbon dioxide
Produces no waste

11. Rampur Hydropower Project downstream from
Nathpa Jhakri on the River Satluj in Himachal
Pradesh
Vishnugad Pipalkoti Hydro Power project on the
River Alaknanda in Uttarakhand
Luhri Hydro Electric Project on the River Sutlej
in Himachal Pradesh
12. A Nuclear Reactor is a
device to initiate and
control a sustained
nuclear chain reaction
13. Heat from nuclear fission is used to raise steam,
which runs through turbines
Currently, twenty nuclear power reactors
produce 4,780 MW which is about 2.7% of total
generation
India has a vision of becoming the world leader
in nuclear power technology
14. An induced nuclear
fission event
The power output of the
reactor is adjusted by
controlling how many
neutrons are able to create
more fissions
15. Practically independent of geographical factor
No combustion products
Clean source of power which does not
contribute to air pollution
Fuel transportation networks and large storage
facilities not required
16. High risk of accidents
Waste from nuclear energy is extremely
dangerous
Uranium is a scarce resource

19. Solar Energy can be tapped
using:
Solar thermal
Photo voltaic cell
An aerial view of solar panel
20. Solar energy is used to
produce steam which is
subsequently used to
drive a turbo-generator
22. The first Indian solar thermal power project
(2X50MW) is in progress in Phalodi (Rajasthan)
Costs 4 times as much as the coal based steam
thermal power plant
India has desert area of 2,08,110 sq km in
Rajasthan and Gujarat
A 60km * 60km area can produce 1,00,000 MW of
power
23. Wind turbines in Tamil Nadu
Velocity of the wind is
used to rotate large fans
attached to turbines.
The Kinetic energy from
wind is converted into
mechanical energy.
24. Horizontal axis wind machines - The main rotor
shaft and electrical generator is located at the
top of a tower, and must be pointed into the
wind
Vertical axis wind machines – They have the
main rotor shaft arranged vertically. So, does
not need to be pointed into the wind to be
effective
25.
26. Darrieus - Good efficiency, produce
large torque ripple and cyclical
stress on the tower, which
contributes to poor reliability.
Giromill - A subtype of Darrieus
turbine with straight, as opposed to
curved, blades
Savonius – High reliability, low
efficiency power turbines and self-
starting if there are at least three
scoops.
Darrieus wind
turbine
27. Location of site
Constant angular velocity
Variation in wind velocity
Need of a storage system
Strong supporting structure
Occupation of large area of land
28. The turbines rotate the generator to produce
electricity.
India has the second largest installed wind
power capacity in the world
Installed capacity of wind power in India is
12009.14 MW
It is estimated that 6,000 MW of additional wind
power capacity will be installed in India by 2012
30. Bagasse, Forestry and agro residue
& Agricultural based industrial
wastes are burnt to produce steam
Agro-residues 16,881MW
Bagasse cogeneration 5000MW
From waste 2700MW
31. Indian Biomass reaches 1GW in 2010
Has gained momentum because of limited
availability of conventional energy
Attracts investment of over INR 600 crores every
year
Generates more than 5000 million units of
electricity
Employment of more than 10 million man in rural
areas
32. The proposed eight plants each having a power
generation capacity of up to 8 MW would come
up in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra,
Punjab and Rajasthan
Green Planet Energy Private Limited has
invested a sum of 9.6 billion rupees on setting
up 14 biomass power projects in the state of
Punjab
33. Biomass produces greenhouse emissions
It takes considerable energy to produce biofuels
from certain feedstock
Biomass collection is difficult
Biomass crops not available all year
Still an expensive source, both in terms of
producing the biomass and converting it to alcohols
34. Geothermal energy is
utilized to produce
