1. Explain the environmental aspects of Thermal power generation with a neat diagram. 2. Describe the renewable energy sources in OMAN with a neat diagram.

Estimate the greenhouse gas emissions from power production. Focus on the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the operational energy, not the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the manufacture of theproduct or end of life processes.1) All power during an hour of up to 5 kW is drawn from a baseload coal powerplant. Any power in excess of that amount is drawn from a peaker plant running as anatural gas combined cycle power plant.2) Localized solar energy production is provided in the table on the next page.Energy demand by the house is first met by this solar generation. If the total hourlyenergy demand is below 5 kW, then any extra energy required beyond that provided bythe solar panels is drawn from a coal power plant. If the total hourly demand is above 5kW, then any extra hour demand beyond 5 kW is met by a natural gas combined cyclepower plant. No credit is given if the solar energy production exceeds the energydemand.3) Same as (2), but any excess energy generated by the…

provide a new, possible, and feasible study that deals with ways to reduce carbon emissions from coal power plants.

Paragraph Arrange A coal-fired electrical generating power plant has a maximum normal output of 100MW. Design combustor, including air blower, and stack, for this application. Considerations: Power plant efficiency combustor efficiency blower efficiency air and Fuel conditions air fuel ratio

(b) Consider a steam power plant operating on an ideal Rankine cycle. This steam power cycle can achieve a cycle thermal efficiency of at least 25 percent. i) Decide about the systems' components, working temperature and pressure of this power plant. ii) Illustrate system schematic and T-s diagrams with completely labelled on the systems' components, working temperature and pressure. iii) Evaluate the compatibility between proposed parameters and thermal efficiency of the plant.

Subject: Power Plant What are the various types of power plants which are used worldwide?

create a diagram of the geothermal energy flow in a geothermal power plant.

A 2 MW diesel engine power plant provides power to users with a maximum demand of 1.4 MW and Load factor 40% if investment in power plant installation = 44 million baht Total operating expenses Fuel and maintenance costs 4.2 million baht per year and 10% depreciation per year of investment. The power plant operates 8,600 per year. hours Calculate the cost of tons of electricity in bahtkWh.
