Sankey diagrams are drawn to scale the thicker the line or arrow the greater the amount of energy involved. Sankey diagrams summarise all the energy transfers taking place in a process. Sketching and interpreting sankey diagrams describing the basic features of fossil fuel power stations nuclear power stations wind generators pumped storage hydroelectric systems and solar power cells solving problems relevant to energy transformations in the context of these generating systems.
This is called base load electricity. Nuclear power stations and coal fired power stations usually produce the minimum level of electricity required by the national grid over a period of 24 hours. The graph shows the emission spectrum for a black body at absolute temperature t 1.
Sankey diagrams are quantitative and candidates should understand that the greatest proportion of the output from a fossil fuelled power station is in the form of thermal energy. The base situation a in the power plant built in the 1970ies is shown in this sankey diagram. Flows are im mwe.
Of the universidade federal de itajubá unifei in brazil has several sankey diagrams to visualize energy flows in repowered thermal power plants. 10 1115 gt2010 23058 by irrazabal bohorquez et al. A very useful site for the study of energy use and resources is.
Coal fired power station nuclear power station agr internal combustion engine petrol internal combustion engine diesel human body note. Sankey diagrams these diagrams are a way of looking at the input and output of energy for a power station or indeed any type of machine. Nuclear heat cannot be split into individual products.
The colour in the sankey diagram is pink rbg 200 75 150. It is obtained from the nuclear fission of atoms usually of uranium and plutonium. Nuclear heat is the thermal energy produced in a nuclear power plant nuclear energy.
India s 220 mw kaiga 1 nuclear power plant an indigenously.
Nuclear power station sankey diagram. The sankey diagram is in german and from the quality of the image i assume it is a scan from a printed publication. This seems to be a comparison of power plant technologies kondensationskraftwerk vs. You can use the sankey diagram tool to view several graphs showing how different variables change over time. The y axis is the energy content in tj ktoe etc.
Depending on the selected unit and the x axis. Into electricity or the energy transformed in nuclear or thermal power plants e g. Burning of oil coal gasandbiofuels. Each year the department of energy s llnl releases a sankey diagram that tracks the nation s consumption of energy resources.
