Hybrid Power Plant

Abstract


The scarcity of fossil fuels is going to be a great problem for the future generation. It is necessary to implement some steps for generating electricity. Utilizing non-renewable resources is one of the step, but it is a complexive process and needs high amount of cost for its procurement. Uptil now, research is going on for solar and nuclear power projects although solar and nuclear sources are available in bulk amounts. So, the concept of Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) came into existence for gaining better effectivity of electric power. Molten salt technology is being used for transfer of thermal storage and DC500V NiMh batteries are being stored for auxiliary purpose for generating uninterrupted electrical power for (24*7) hours. Molten salt is a mixture of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate which is having a heat loss of maximum 1 degree farenheit per day. The temperature attained of molten salt due to the heat absorbed by zeolite panel is approximately 566 degree celsius(1050 degree fahrenheit).


Keywords
