How it works
-
An alternator has fixed a part, called a stator, and a moving part called a rotor, connected to the turbine shaft.

Some solutions
Energy savings
-
essential to reduce the consumption of all forms of energy without seriously affecting quality of life

Waste treatment
By thermal power plants: Install special filters, use coal with low sulphur content and mantain and increase the size of large forested areas.

Are facilities where primaries or sescondary energy is transformated into electricity. Once electricity is generated, it must be transported to towns, cities or industrial parks.
Electrical power plants are usually located far away from the points where the energy is used — for safety reasons, space requirements or physical and geographical considerations
Combined cycle power plant Electricity is generated as a result of two combined cycles, a cycle that uses air and gas, and a conventional thermal cycle . During the first cycle, a gas turbine is used that includes a compressor. Air is mixed with the gas and is burnt which generates electricity in the turbine-alternator system.The combustion gases are transported to a boiler,where they transfer their energy to the water during the second cycle.

The enviromental problems caused by conventional power plants have led to the creation and to the development of non-convetional or alternative energy power plants
