 DAY 1

DATE and TIME VISITED: Feb 4, 2019 3pm

COMPANY NAME: TEAM ENERGY / PAGBILAO POWER STATION

LOCATION: Ibabang Polo, Pagbilao, Quezon Province

COMPANY INFORMATION: TeaM Energy, a partnership between noted Japanese firms Tokyo Electric Power
Company and Marubeni Corporation is one of the largest independent power producers in the country with more
than 2,000 MW of installed generating capacity nationwide. It operates two coal-fired facilities: the 1,200-MW
Sual Power Station in Pangasinan, and the 735-MW Pagbilao Power Station in Quezon.

WHAT DID I LEARN?

Pagbilao Power Station generates electricity from steam. Its entire process can be simplified into four main
steps:COMBUSTION (From Potential Energy to Heat Energy), BOILING (Heat Energy), TURBINE ROTATION
(From Heat Energy to Mechanical Energy), GENERATION (From Mechanical Energy to Electrical Energy). In
Combustion, Fuel is burned to create heat. By using finely pulverized coal, efficient combustion is assured and
high temperatures are achieved. Boiling, The heat is applied to demineralized water inside the boiler, turning it
into steam. This high-pressure, superheated steam is then sent to the turbine. Turbine Rotation, where a series
of turbine blades are mounted on a shaft. When steam passes through them, the turbines turn like fans and
cause the shaft to rotate. And last is the Generation, where a series of turbine blades are mounted on a shaft.
When steam passes through them, the turbines turn like fans and cause the shaft to rotate.

Farm.

WHAT DID I LEARN?

SOLAR ENERGY Is One Of The Solutions Nowadays For Resolving The Problem Of Global Warming. Its A
Renewable Energy Source And This Farm Uses Poly Crystalline Photovoltaic Module Which Has A 16-24
Percent Efficiency. But In Some Cases Efficiency Differs On Many Cases Like Some Of The Modules’ Part Were
Broken And Some Were Not Cleaned Because Dust And Water Can Affect The Production Of Energy Due To
The Blockage Of The Sunlight. The Production Of Energy On Solar Power Plants Were Not Constant Because
As They Shown Us From Their SCADA, The Production Of Energy Is Very Dependent On Weather Because
Clouds Can Block The Sunlight. This Photovoltaic Panels Were Connected Series To Add Their Output Voltages
Which Is 30 Volts Each And Being Connected Into Parallel To Be Add Up Again For Current Ranging On 0.30
Amperes Minimum To 2 Amperes Maximum. And The Connection Were On The Control Box With Some Fuses
And Other Protective Equipment And Directly Wired To The SCADA For Monitoring. After The Production It Was
Converted To AC Via INVERTER Because As You Know Solar Panels Produce DC Power, Only Generators
Produce AC.

WHAT DID I LEARN?

This Power Plant Was Fueled With Uranium 235 Which Is Very Abundant In Our World And It Only Cost
$25/Pound. Cheap But Later On The Time It Was Constructed And Already Tested It Was Ready To Be Used,
The Fuel Is On Its Way But The Chernobyl Incident Happened And As Usual Misconception The Things
Happened Way Back And The Situation Pushed This Project To Be Abolished. The Fuel Were Sold Back And
The Philippines Owed Millions Of Dollars From The Investors And Other Company. But First Lets Talk About The
Brightside Of This Project. This Nuclear Power Plant Has The Capacity Of 621 Megawatts And It Was Located
On Napot Point, Morong Bataan Covering Upto 389 Hectares Of Land 18 Meters Above The Sea Level. This
Uses A Pressurize Water Reactor To Produce Torque On The Shaft To Generator To Produce Energy. This Can
Supply 6 To 7 Percent Of Luzons Entire Consumption. Now On The Other Hand We Go The Maintenance Which
Other People Already Know That This Is A Threat For Out Safety But If We Can Handle It Right We Can Have A
Safe Environment. This Plant Also Has Its Protocol On Treating The Waste Like For Low Level Waste Which Is
The Clothes They Used They Can Seal And Wait For A Week To Be Decontaminate. For The Intermediate Level
And High Level Waste It Can Be Treated Or Seal For Decontamination For 10-20 Years.
