Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle Vs Pulverized Coal

Posted on 25 February 2010

Today almost all coal plants are using “pulverized coal” (PC) technology, this technology involves grinding the coal, burning it to make steam, and running the steam through a turbine to generate electricity. There is a latest technology known as integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), it converts coal into gas and that gas runs through a combustion turbine to generate electricity. This uses the excess heat also from that process to generate additional electricity via a steam turbine.

What Are Solar Power Plants?

Posted on 24 February 2010

Man’s curiosity lead him to discover that he can use the energy coming form sun and use it to generate electricity. This is a renewable form of energy and is not a limited resource that will vanish like other sources to generate electricity.A solar power plant captures the sun rays and convert photons into electricity. Thus and efficient method to generate electricity.A solar power plant contains large number of solar panels, which are connected with each other.Its efficiency is dependent on the intensity of sunrays touching the panels.One of the issue related to solar power plant is space issue.Another issue is its initial development cost.

The Solar Power Battery Chargers

Posted on 23 February 2010

As we are living in a world of scarce resources and unlimited wants, our motive is to maximize our needs within limited resources. Energy is the main requirement of human beings for survival.Therefore, human is finding an alternate renewable form of energy and ultimately discovering solar energy to produce electricity.Thus this finding lead man to invent appliances that uses this form of energy and ultimately discovering solar power charger.A solar power charger stores the electricity that is produced using solar energy.With the invention of this device, you can use electricity round the clock.

Conversion of Biomass into Energy

Posted on 20 February 2010

Ancient way of converting biomass into energy is just to burn it for producing heat, as humans practiced it for thousands of years. Still this is the most common way for conversion of biomass into energy in United States and elsewhere also.

Types of Biomass Energy

Posted on 19 February 2010

There are numerous types of plants and so many ways from which energy can be produced in the world. Typically there are two approaches for using biomass energy, one is growing plants for energy use and second is using plant’s residues for other things. There is no best approach for using biomass energy because of climate differences from region to region, soils, geography, population and other such things.
