Electricity generation
Aghah Group operates in the power generation sector in three areas: CHP power plants, solar power plants and thermal power plants. Aghah has been able to use its power plant capacities add 50 kilowatts to the electricity production network in the country. Therefore, Aghah has always tried to be able to control energy imbalances in the country and help to improve it.
CHP power plant
ChatGPT said: ChatGPT The CHP power plant, an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power, is one of the energy optimization methods in which electricity and heat are produced simultaneously. In CHP plants, the heat generated during electricity production in generator-driving engines is utilized to provide the necessary energy for heating purposes. The cogeneration process can be classified based on the types of driving power generators, including gas turbines, steam turbines, internal combustion engines, and other generators. The primary energy sources for production cover a wide range, including fossil fuels, biomass, geothermal, and solar energy. The high efficiency of the CHP system is due to lower fuel requirements, the elimination of transmission and distribution losses, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, which are among the significant advantages of this power production method. To facilitate cogeneration, various fuels can be used, and this flexibility increases its applicability across different power-demanding units.
Solar power plant
The Agha Solar Power Plant is an energy generation facility that utilizes solar energy to produce electricity. In this type of power plant, sunlight is used as the primary energy source, which is renewable, clean, and abundant. There are two main methods for electricity generation in Agha solar power plants: Photovoltaic Systems (PV): These systems consist of solar panels that directly convert sunlight photons into electrons, ultimately generating an electric current. This process occurs without any pollution or greenhouse gas emissions.
Solar thermal systems (CSP):
In this method, large mirrors or lenses are used to concentrate sunlight onto a single point. The heat generated from this concentration is used to produce steam, which can drive turbines to generate electricity.
Solar power plants can be built in various sizes and capacities, ranging from small residential systems to large industrial projects that can be connected to the national power grid. These plants are recognized as an effective solution for reducing dependency on fossil fuels and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Thermal power plant
A thermal power plant is a type of power plant that usually uses steam as a fluid and driving agent. After the water is heated, it goes to the steam turbine which is connected to a generator and moves it using kinetic energy. After the steam passes through the turbine, the steam is compressed in the condenser.
The thermal power plant includes three power cycles as follows:
- (Diesel) Diesel cycle
- (Gas) Brayton cycle
- (Heater) Rankine cycle
