electricity,technology available & the power generate:

The coal must be unloaded from the

train. Traditional ways of doing this
require the use of cranes picking up
the coal from the cars, however newer
plants have the floor underneath the
train tracks drop away, allowing the
coal to be dropped into underground
containment..
The coal is then pulverized into a
fine powder by a large grinder. This
ensures nearly complete burning of
the coal in order to maximize
the heat given off and to minimize
pollutants.

The steam travels through a turbine,

The pulverized coal is input to

 ADVANTAGE & DISADVANTAGE OF COAL POWER
GENERATION TECHNOLOGY
ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE
Greenhouse gas
Safety
-considered safer than nuclear emissions.
power plants -The increased carbon
-a coal power plant's failure is emissions brought about by coal
certainly not likely to cause fired plants cause a lot of
catastrophic events such as a pollution and contribute to
nuclear meltdown would global warming.

Abundance
-over 300 years of economic
coal deposits still accessible
-can be continuously fueled in
many years to come.
Generation of millions
of tons of waste.
-which can no longer be reused
are generated from coal fired
plants.
-contribute to waste disposal
problems, which is contain
harmful substances.

Affordability
-cheaper and more affordable
than other energy sources
-since coal is abundant, it is
definitely cheap to produce power
using this fuel.
- not expensive to extract and
mine from coal deposits.
Emission of harmful
substances
-coal fired plants emit harmful
substances to the environment.
-harmful substances like mercury,
sulfur dioxide, carbon
monoxide,selenium and arsenic
cause acid rain.
 What is Transmission Lines?
• Transmission lines are sets of wires, called conductors, that carry electric
power from generating plants to the substations that deliver power to
customers. At a generating plant, electric power is “stepped up” to several
thousand volts by a transformer and delivered to the transmission line. At
numerous substations on the transmission system, transformers step
down the power to a lower voltage and deliver it to distribution lines.
Distribution lines carry power to farms, homes and businesses. The type of
transmission structures used for any project is determined by the
characteristics of the transmission line’s route, including terrain and
existing infrastructure.

 Electrical Grid
• The electrical grid is divided into 3 main components:

• GENERATION - There are two types of generation - centralized and decentralized. Centralized
generation refers to large-scale generation far from consumption. This includes coal, nuclear,
natural gas, hydro, wind farms and large solar arrays. The grid connects centralized power to
consumers. Decentralized generation occurs close to consumption, for example rooftop solar.

• TRANSMISSION and DISTRIBUTION- Transmission includes transformers, substations and power

lines that transport electricity from where it is generated to points of consumption. When
electricity is at high voltages, transmission losses are minimized over long distances and
resistive transmission lines. Therefore, at the point of generation, substations contain
transformers that step-up the voltage of electricity so that it can be transmitted. Transmission
is achieved via powerlines and can occur either overhead or underground. When it arrives at
points of consumption, another substation is found to step-down the voltage for end-use
consumption.

• CONSUMPTION - There are various types of consumers; namely industrial, commercial and
residential consumers. Each of these consumers has different needs but in general electricity
delivers important energy services like light and power for appliances .
