Comparison between Steam Power Plant and Gas Power Plant
Comparison between Steam Power Plant and Gas Power Plant In energy generation sector steam power plants are those which make use of a high pressure steam to rotate the turbine and then use that turbine to generate electrical energy through a generator attached to turbine. Whereas the Gas power plant are those which make use of a high pressure gas to rotate the turbine and then use that turbine to generate electrical energy through a generator attached to turbine. The working of the steam turbine power plant is governed and analysed by the Rankine cycle where initially heat energy is used to turn the water inside boiler in to high pressure steam and then that steam is used to rotated the blades of turbine whereas the working of the gas turbine power plant is governed and analysed by the Brayton cycle and directly used the air fuel mixture to burn and produce high pressure gasses which are then used to rotate blades of gas turbine.
