All About Thermoelectric Energy

thermoelectric energy is the form of energy produced from the generation of heat resulting from the burning of solid, liquid or gaseous fuels.

The main fuels used in thermoelectric plants are mineral coal, diesel, gasoline, naphtha, petroleum, natural gas and, in some cases, biomass.

Unlike hydroelectric plants, built far from urban centers, thermoelectric plants can be built anywhere. place, which reduces the cost of towers and transmission lines, which also makes it easier to distribute to these centers.

First, in power plants, it occurs with the burning of a fuel, with the aim of boiling the water stored in the reservoir at high pressure. This water is transformed into steam with the heat generated in the boiler. This steam is directed to the turbines of the generator responsible for producing electricity. After being used, the steam is condensed and the water returns to the boiler, which can be used again.

Any products that are capable of generating heat can be used as fuel, including bagasse from various plants and wood waste. Generally, the products used are non-renewable, most of which are of fossil origin.

Brazil's energy matrix is ​​concentrated mainly on water resources. When there is a decrease in water, caused by the lack of rain, in the dams that supply hydroelectric plants, the country resorts to the use of thermoelectric energy. That is, thermoelectric plants are used as backup sources in cases of energy crisis.

With 50 plants in Brazil, thermoelectric plants generally generate between 15% and 20% of the electricity consumed in the country. This is because thermoelectric plants can generate around 41,000 MW of energy (Megawatts).
