• ADVANTAGES

• CONCLUSION
 INTRODUCTION
:
• MHD Power generation is a new system of
electric power generation

• high efficiency and low pollution

• converting heat energy of a fuel directly in to

electrical energy
• closed cycle MHD Power generation is one of
attractive and advanced technologies
 PRINCIPLE OF
MHD :
• Faradays Law of electromagnetic
induction

• The solid conductors are replaced by

gaseous conductors
• Gas is passed at a high velocity trough a
powerful magnetic field, current is
generated and can extracted by placing
electrodes
   
MHD
SYSTEMS:
• Open cycle systems

• Closed cycle systems

Seeded inert Gas systems

Liquid matel system

COMPARISON WITH OTHER
POWER SYSTEMS
Energy Conversion Alternatives Study
(ECAS)…
The MHD system was
found to have the highest overall
efficiency of the systems studied
Cost of electricity
produced by MHD& fuel prices was
one of the lowest of the systems
 ADVANTAGES:
• Large amount of power is generated .
• It has no moving parts, so more reliable.
• The closed cycle system produces power
free of pollution .
• It has ability to reach the full power level as
soon as started.
• The size of the plant is considerably smaller
than conventional fossil fuel plants .
  
CONCLUSION:
• Cheap generation of electricity and
conservation of known resources of fossil
fuel

• undertakes development efforts in

advanced fields of technology

• A better understanding of super

conducting technology
