SEMINAR TITLE
THERMAL POWER PLANT
ABSTRACT
Thermal Power plants are the major source of generation of electricity for any
developing country. Around 60% of electricity generation in our country is met by thermal
power plants. Fuel is blown into the combustible chamber of the boiler where it is burnt at
high temperature where Heat energy converts water into steam. High energy steam is passed
through the turbine and the steam creates force on the turbine causing the shaft to rotate at
high speed. A generator is coupled at one end of the turbine shaft which generates power.
The thermal power plant has serious impacts on land, soil, air and various social impacts the
thermal power plant is also said to emit large amount of mercury and generate large quantity
of fly ash which destroys the surrounding environment. These plants also consume a large
amount of water. Due to these problems, they require a proper Environmental impact
assessment before commencement of the project which is not done judiciously in our
country. Various mitigation measures for the control of pollution caused by thermal power
plants along with some new technologies are discussed
