NLC EG/Rigging 1 (test 2) UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT Answers
Methods used to generate power -steam
-hydroelectric
-wind
-distributed generation
-combustion engine/turbine
, Parts of a generator -stator
-rotor
-shaft
Steam is produced by these methods -fossil fired generation
-nuclear fired generation
-geothermal generation
-solar generation
Heat can reach levels of 2400-3500 psi
Sources of fossil fuels include: -coal
-natural gas
-petroleum
Cogeneration/combined heat and power heat from steam is captured for another useful purpose
natural gas fossil fuel formed from decaying matter or buried plants, animals, other gases
combined cycle A power plant that uses both exhaust gases and steam turbines to generate
electricity
Nuclear generation 20% of electrical energy is produced in the US
In Nuclear generation, high pressure steam is produced The Nuclear fission
from --- to spin a turbine
Mechanical energy for Nuclear generation steam
control rod heats up the core producing steam to spin a nucelar generation
turbine generation electricity
Geothermal generation Uses heat from geysers or hot springs to produce steam.
Water is pumped into the molten rock beneath the earth's surface where it turns
to steam. The steam then turns the turbine of the generator.
Photovoltaic semi-conducting solar panels to produce electrical power in the form of direct
current which is then converted to AC to feed into the electrical system
Parabolic Trough harnesses the heat energy from the sun to heat up salt to a molten state which
passes through a boiler where steam is produced to turn a turbine of a generator.
Mechanical energy for Solar Generation steam
