Learn about harmonics in industrial electronics. This article explains what harmonics are, how they are generated, and the problems they can cause.
Transformer losses are a major factor in the cost of electricity. By understanding the causes of transformer losses and how to reduce them,
The rate at which electricity is supplied to a consumer is known as tariff.
In gas turbine power plant (GTPP) the fuel (Gas & Oil) is combusted in a combustion chamber in combination with the compressed air.
In these plants the chemical energy of fuel(petrol) is converted into mechanical energy with combustion in the cylinder of a diesel engine
In hydro electric power station the water under pressured is directed to the hydraulic turbine. The water under pressured is obtained from a natural water fall in the pressure is produced from storage of water in a reservoir.

Basically nuclear power plant is a thermal power station but a nuclear power station the heat required for converting water into steam is obtained by fission and not from combustion of fuel.
Thermal Or Steam Power Plants are those power plants that run on steam. In thermal power station fuel is burn and the is used to convert water into steam
