Abstract:
As you should know, burning of coal to produce electric power in power
plant resulted in air pollution if not cleaned before
releasing into the air. There are several processes in which this "polluted
air" needs to go through. They are inertial or mechanical fuses; gravity
settling; centrifugal or cyclonic separation; gas washing or scrubbing;
filtration through screens; fabric bags and finally electrostatic precipitation.
It is a process by which the electrode will charge up the dust particles
surrounding it and then the charged particles will be
collected via collecting plates, which are positively charged. The
aim of my thesis is reduce the physical size of the old conventional sychronous
mechanical rectifier and the high voltage, alternating current transformer,
that supply the electrostatic precipitator's voltage, by using modern technology,
power electronics.
