In India 80 percent of power generation is from coal fired thermal power plants. To fulfil the deficiency of electrical energy further enhancement of power plants is taking place, thereby causing severe air pollution. Present investigation deals with the enhancement of power generation in the existing power plants by incorporating the MHD system and also which reduces the air pollution problem. In MHD generator, electrically conducting fluid plasma (flue gases of power plant at very high temperature) is passed through a strong magnetic field there by generating electricity. It is predicted that by incorporating MHD system in Tuticorin thermal power plant, 10% of extra power can be generated along with the usual generation. By attaching this MHD system in all thermal power plants in India, we can add 10% extra production of electrical energy to the current generation.
