The Need for Renewable Energy Power Generation


Increase in population has led to an invariable rise in energy needs, which have created greater pressure on fossil fuels which are used as the primary sources of power. To reduce dependence on fossil fuels and the pollution that their usage causes, renewable or eco-friendly sources of energy are being adopted. These sources of energy do not cause damage to the planet and environment.
The alarming state of global warming today demands a change. The impact industries and commercialisation have on the planet need to be addressed urgently.
With advancements in science and research, cutting-edge technology has been created to harness power from the several sources of renewable energy.
Let us look at the major eco-friendly sources of energy that are being adopted by power generation companies in India:
1. Geothermal Power
This energy source utilizes the Earth’s internal heat. Several electricity needs as well as temperature regulation (heating and cooling requirements) of large establishments are fulfilled using geothermal energy. Geothermal energy is a potent source of energy along with being eco-friendly. Geothermal power plants undergo a completely cost-effective and natural process to produce energy. This source of energy is the most sustainable and consistent as compared to its counterparts.
2. Solar Energy
The most accessible and available source of renewable energy is solar energy. This energy is used to create electricity by harnessing the power of the sun. Solar energy is used to provide electricity in houses, for businesses, and to power a number of industries. Using solar energy is an excellent option for those who are working towards reducing their carbon footprint and also want a way to cut down on their electrical expenses.
3. Hydropower
The life-giving resource of water is another significant source of renewable energy. It is eco-friendly and enables production of powerful energy. Hydropower can be harnessed using  turbines and hydroelectric dams. Hydropower is a reliable source of energy and very economical.
4. Wind Energy
Wind energy is obtained from the use of wind turbines and windmills. This process produces negligible toxic waste.
Owing to the rising momentum in the need to reduce the harmful impact fossil fuels have on the environment there is mass adoption of renewable energy sources that reduce CO2 emissions. Apart from adopting power plants that work using renewable energy, another way to achieve this is to make conventional thermal-power generation plants more energy efficient.
The need for manufacturers who can provide plants that support enterprises and even residential complexes move to a more sustainable and environmental friendly approach to using energy is the greatest today. This is exactly the kind of company Thermax is. Its power division provides high-quality power plants making them among the most preferred power generation companies in India and all over the world. If you purchase power plants from Thermax you can be sure of the following things: impeccable quality: performance, costs, delivery times, and safety in operations.

What are Bi-Drum Boilers? How Do They Work?

Image
Bi-drum boilers are used for purposes of power generation and as process steam generators. This type of boiler is used up to 100MW for generating power. Bi-drum boilers are non-reheat units which are getting wiped out due to high heat rate of the plant. These boilers are used for generating high steam pressure which is used for power generation owing to their ability to accommodate high load of fluctuation and respond to load changes with more agility compared a single drum boiler. The two drums in the bi-drum boiler are connected using a large number of convective heat transfer tubes known as bank tubes or boiler bank tubes. These tubes are about one thousand in number. The bank tubes and the drum at the bottom that contains water will have a water level that will be up to the normal working level of water in the upper drum. The water availability in the bi-drum boiler makes it very adoptable for large load changes. Flue gases enter the bank tubes which are placed towards t...

How Do Electrostatic Precipitators Work?

Image
Reducing air pollutants is vital for human health and the health of the environment. Poor air quality has harmful effects on human health, particularly the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Pollutants also damage plants and buildings, and smoke or haze can reduce visibility. Industries are largely responsible for causing pollution. They are also the ones who have access to a number of pollution control devices that absorb, filter, dilute, and disperse pollutants. One such device for pollution control is the electrostatic precipitator. This device works by removing particles and smoke from a gas stream using an electrostatic charge. Dust particles travel past wires that have a high direct current (DC) voltage applied, which ionises the surrounding gas. This corona discharge causes the particles to pick up a small electrostatic charge, without impeding the gas flow. Originally designed for recovery of valuable industrial-process materials, electrostatic precipitators are used a...

Quick overview of the Import & Export of Chemicals in India

Image
The chemical industry in India offers building blocks and essential raw materials for numerous industries such as paints, paper, textiles, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, soap, and detergents, etc. Let’s go through a few statistics of the chemical industry: The chemical industry in India is ranked 4th in Asia and 6th in the world. The global chemical industry is expected to be worth $4.7 trillion. The chemical companies in India contributes 3.4% to the global chemical industry. As of 2018, the chemical industry (including pharmaceuticals and fertilizers) stood at $163 billion. The Chemical sector in India is expected to grow at 9% per annum to reach $304 Bn by FY 2025. The expansion is anticipated to be pushed by rising demand in end-use segments for Specialty Chemicals and also for petrochemical intermediates. In 2015-16, the Chemical and Chemical Products sector accounted for 2.39percent of the GVA, compared to 2.23percent in 2014-15.18 Note: With India possessing a l...
