Question
Give scientific reason.
The schematic of a turbine also varies according to the type of power generation.
Solution
- In a power plant, a turbine is used to rotate the generator which produces the energy.
- To drive the turbine, we need an energy source.
- The construction of the turbine in a power plant depends on the type of energy source which is being used to rotate the turbine. For example, steam turbine is used in thermal power plant where steam is used to rotate the turbine while wind turbine with large fins is used in electricity generation using wind energy.
Hence, depending on the energy source the construction of turbine is different for different types of power plants.
