The principle of a thermal power plant is to use thermal energy to turn a steam turbine to produce electricity. Coal or other fuels are burned to produce steam at high pressure. The steam turbine is connected to a generator, it can produce electricity. Some of the water must circulate and some must be lost.
Many equipments in the thermal power plant need to be cooled, and they are also cooled with water. After cooling, the water vapor evaporates, which consumes water resources.
Hydroelectric power
converts the
gravitational potential energy of water
into electricity
So the water level For example, the water level of the Three Gorges is 175 m.
Producing electricity from wastewater requires raising the wastewater, consume electricity and make ends meet
and useriver water or
River water
As long as the flow is intercepted, the water level will naturally rise, as in the case of the Three Gorges project
p>
In addition, wastewater will corrode equipment and increase costs
Complete Consider that the production of electricity from wastewater is not suitable
