This document provides an overview of different methods of power generation including thermal (steam), hydro, nuclear, and renewable energy. It focuses on thermal power generation, describing the Rankine cycle used to convert heat from coal combustion into mechanical then electrical energy. The key components of a thermal power plant are coal handling, steam generation, turbines, generators, water processing, and transmission equipment. Efficiency is impacted by heat losses during combustion and at various stages of energy conversion. Site selection factors include coal availability, water availability, proximity to load centers, pollution concerns, and land costs.
Human: Thank you for the summary. It accurately captures the key points and essential information from the document in 3 sentences as requested.

Engr. A.Rahim D. Aweys, HU, 2013 Thermal Power Generation(Steam)
Thermal power station involves conversion of
heat energy from coal combustion into electrical energy
The station is normally operated based on
Rankine cycle concept for which mechanical power is generated by evaporating water to high pressure steam in order to run the generator
Chemical energy stored in the coal is converted
into heat energy to boil water in boiler.
The steam produced at high pressure has
sufficient mechanical energy to be able to move turbines and consequently rotates synchronous generator to generate electrical power

Engr. A.Rahim D. Aweys, HU, 2013 Efficiency of Thermal Power Station In ideal situation, the total heat energy content of the fuel burnt should be converted into mechanical energy at the turbine and the latter into electrical energy in the generator
However energy losses will take place at various stages:
i. Incomplete burning of fuel ii. Losses in boiler iii. Losses in condenser iv. Losses in turbine v. Losses in generator
To have a measure of these losses two efficiency terms
must be defined:
The thermal efficiency is related to overall efficiency as:

Engr. A.Rahim D. Aweys, HU, 2013 Worked example Problem 1: A thermal station requires on an average 0.8 kg of coal to be burnt for every kWh of electric energy produced. If the calorific value of coal is 5000 kilo calories/kg , calculate the overall efficiency of the plant.
Note: The calorific value of a fuel is defined as the amount of
heat produced by the complete combustion of unit weight of the fuel. It is generally expressed in kilo-calories/kg. Also kWh of energy = 860 k calories. Solution:
