This should be shown in schools and it should be taught that solar and wind cannot even compare to coal fired power plants. This should be marveled.

I drive by a power plant every day on my way to work, and it's amazing to know all this goes on inside that building. I always assumed since I was a kid that the conveyors simply fed the coal straight into the boilers, but I guess that method would get far less electricity and far more pollution out it.

I agree with all the other comments stating that this is a useful video. On my end, I am starting to learn about electricity generation and electricity distribution. I will learn about other (i.e. non-electricity) forms of energy as well. This video was a useful one. Thank-you.

@LKZinitials Great. Thanks for commenting. Glad it helped.

This is a very informative video perfectly explaining every part of a Thermal Power Plant. this really was very useful for my project

nice upload! I was intrigued on how coal steam works after a friend who works on a coal plant explained some of the process. and this video helped clarify what he was explaining :).

*Best Video* of the decade

Thank you so much. This video series has helped many students expand their understanding.

This video is useful indeed! It has explained about a specific way of electricity generation! Manoj Bajaj, Engineering student at Glocal University

it is really helpful to me even i m a boiler engineer ,but i can not show all the process so clearly as this video . u did a good job , first energy!

Didn't know about all the recycling processes. Very interesting.

A very nice video, clear and informative. I like the pollution control and recycling methods. Thanks.

@xuhongacu Thanks for the great comment!

I agree. Coal is a vital resource and a good way to generate electricity.

So clear! Thanks.

this video really helps with my science project and homework thanks!

great video- helping me understand the flow, thanks a lot.

Superb video. I guess this would help me for my interview tomorrow :)

Great upload... this video is really helpful for young power plant engineers like me... Thanks guys..

I live in Sydney and I was going by a power station today thats looks exactly the same (to me) and I was wondering how the process works.. Thanks for the interesting facts!

Very inciteful & responsible. Great job.

Like "mdadnan" said the steam is sent back to the furnace. After the first series of the turbine (High Pressure section) it is reheated in the boiler and gains heat but no pressure and moves to the intermediate pressure stage of the turbine. The steam has to be cooled so it can be pumped into the boiler again as water. Also to help efficiency steam is extracted from different locations of the turbine and sent to heaters to warm the water going into the boiler before it gets to the actual fire.

this video perfect.. thank you for share this video

it would be better if there is a name of the components, equipments and auxiliaries of the power plant. But its very interesting..good job!

It's very usefull. Thank you for uploading

A power plant converts one form of power, like coal's chemical power, into moving the electricity that's ALWAYS in wires. Also, in alternating current systems such as this, the electricity in the wire never moves more than a tiny fraction of an inch. It moves a bit one way, then it moves back to its starting point, 60 full cycles a second in the US. That tiny movement however is enough to transmit a lot of power. Therefore, you don't "make" electricity. You use it to transmit power.

NICE VIDEO!!..IT HELPS A LOT.

Is this the maintenance or destruction of the world. Idk but fascinating to say the least

excellent video and a very useful overall intro. Thank you for sharing.

Quite informative information process, and more so much simplified explanation.

Depends on what FORM of solar energy we're talking about...I've heard that a parabolic mirror and a stirling hot air engine can produce quite a bit

I like your animation of powerplant

thx so much for the video. it helped me to do my project for school and i got an A+ :)

Truly one of the best step by step energy produced by coal, I have ever seen. It's sad that people are so misinformed about coal plants.

I like this, for I worked in combined cycle, solid fuel, and liquid boiler plants....Navy has Type D liquid boilers...they may still have a few

@MiKExAUS I think you are confusing two different water systems. The water being sent out to be cooled is not the water put into the boiler. It is sent from the cooling tower through pipes in the condenser that the steam simply flows around to condense the steam back to water. The steam that has condensed flows directly from the condenser through a series of heaters and back to the boiler.

Excellent Work

When I hauled ash here in Indiana, it was seperated into several grades. Fly Ash (very light and very dry) Filter Cake (not so light. slightly wet) Pozitec (sp?) (Very wet. Dense) Ponded Ash (Ash mixed with water from a pond) Are all these the same thing?

Condensing the steam after the turbine reduces back pressure on the turbine to below atmosphere. This helps efficiency by extracting all the energy left in the exhaust steam.

VERY INFORMATIVE

He is referring to superheated steam at about 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. They need it superheated so that it doesn't condense until it has exits the turbine which has many different stages. This makes the steam turbines very efficient and cuts fuel costs. These huge turbines and central power stations are very efficient and make power affordable and reliable to everyone, not just the people who can afford a Tesla Car(lol). It the steam condenses to water and hit the blading, not good.

very useful, helped me heaps with my assignment

very good information

idk why, but it just popped into my head today... how to coal plants actually work?? This video was perfect, truly a marvel of modern technology and engineering that goes into this process that so many people take for granted!!

Very Nice and helpfull..

i always wondered how they used coal to make power. very cool vid to show how its done. i do believe we should have more coal plants and start shutting down nuklear power plants. i say yes to coal plants. Thumbs up here.

a helpful video a silly error on the transformer I did notice and I'm sure your aware of.. they do not boost power but simply increase potential difference to lower amps through lines. it is done so for effficiency purposes to reduce heating of lines,

No Green! Keep coal alive! Excellent Video!

excess electricity generated from coal can be used to pump water for irrigation, which in turn will grow trees , which in turn will make wood, from which wood gas and bio-char can be produced.

that a very interesting question, have you ever asked yourself, how is it that we are always breathing n never satisfied or get tired of it?

great animation, must of been really hard

WAAW love just the way thay just explain it (Y)

the best video!!

One thing: The heat energy in the steam comes from the chemical energy in the coal. It is not generated as energy can only be created by annihilating matter.

Hey man. I decided to create a "Shoutout Sunday" series starting this coming Sunday. Just letting you know in case you are keen! Have a good day and keep it up!

Can I know what is meant by First Energy

thank u

I have a question why dont they re-use steam (from turbines) and heat that up in the boiler again to a higher temperature, dont you think it is waste of energy to cool down water and then re-use it?

Some cooling is required by the second law of Thermo, as DrBuzz0 stated above. Still, there is some available energy in the steam after the turbine. However, without the condensor, there is no vacuum created and the gas doesn't move through the turbine as well as it should. Trying to do too much with the steam coming out of the turbine can be likened to a turbocharger in a car. Even though you are using the remaining energy to get more power, you actually end up with lower gas mileage.

Go to about 3 mins into the video. the narrator explains that the steam is sent back to the "furnace" and reheated. It also said "steam enters the first in a series of turbines..." or something like that. Yes, it is a waste of energy to just cool down water without reusing it. This is why they don't.

Good one and really if u watch this video u may have some good knowledge about power plant. Watch it...

HOW AMUSING!

I believe because water in liquid form has more surface area and can take up more heat, vs steam but that's a pure guess.

Why do they have to cool the steam/ water, seems like a waste of energy. Is it because of the expansion via heating thus pressure or?

Very clear explanation except....they glossed over what they do with the very toxic sludge that keeps piling up. You can only make so much drywall and what happens when the house gets demoed?

I like your animation of powerplant.You have shown every thing from coal handling to pulverizing and burning of coal to steam and turbine. I have made different type of cam follower mechanism than used in steam engine. In my cam follower system, 1. force applied from follower to cam and by using this force cam is rotated. 2. Follower is off set. 3. It creates energy. You can view design and prototype at mechanicalresearch.info

One of the major things that makes this country great is the availability of cheap, reliable energy which coal, nuclear and NG give us. Renewables gives us none of this Most of the chaep energy plants which still exist were built prior to 1985 and we are living off those today. As these close the poor and middle class will pay much more for energy. Renewable are a tremendous waste of resources because they can't produce power on demand and their capital installation costs are enormous.

Catalyst converters like the one in the Coal Plant filtration system converting Nitous Oxide use chemical Electrolisis to spit up or combine molcules A Co to co2 catalyst converter would leectro-chemically force the extra Oxygen Molocule on the Very stable Carbon monoxide Molocule that results from inperfect combustion ("Perfect Combustion" makes heat and force only)
