Modern society requires a variety of goods and services
which require energy as the diversity of range of services increases so is the demand
for energy. Electrical energy because of its versatility takes major share.
About 55% of electrical energy is generated by thermal stations, which is the
primary cause for pollutants in air, water and soil. Coal has to be transported
to thermal stations located away from coalfields by railways and power has to
be transmitted over large distances from pithead stations. These problems can
be eliminated or reduced by converting coal into SNG (synthetic natural gas) at
pithead and transporting the gas by pipe-grid to all thermal stations. The
efficiency of power station can be increased by adopting combined cycle.
Topping combined cycle by MHD generators failed to materialize. THERMAL CELL is
now suggested for development as a topping addition for combined cycle to
further improve the efficiency.
