AN ORGANIZATIONAL STUDY AT TNEB (230/ 22 KV SS)

1. INTRODUCTION Tamil Nadu at a Glance

Tamilnadu is situated at the south eastern end of the Indian

peninsula, between Latitude 8 5' N and 13 35' N and between Longitudes 76 15' E and 80 20'E. It is bordered on the north by the states of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka and on the west by the state of Kerala. Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of this land is the meeting point of the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. Tamilnadu has a tropical climate with only slight seasonal variations. Temperature and humidity remain relatively high throughout the year. Tamilnadu gets its rainfall from the South West Monsoon (June to September) and the North East Monsoon (October to December). The normal annual rainfall is 911.6 mm. The temperature in the plains varies between 38 C and 20 C. Tamil is the official language of this state. Thirukkural, a masterpiece of Tamil literature dates back to the period before 500 BC. The culture of Tamilnadu is a unique blend of the ancient and the modern, where dance, drama and music are an integral part of everyday life. Tamilnadu is a land of temples. The temples are of a distinct style which are famous for their towering gopurams. Tamil Nadu has a long eastern coastline stretching for nearly 1000 kms dotted with enchanting beaches with Bay of Bengal in the east. For the tourist, Tamilnadu has much to offer from the majestic hills of the Western Ghats with its wide variety of flora and fauna, to the magnificent beaches on the Coromandel Coast. Tamil Nadu is one of the most industrialised states in India with a high Human Development index. Chennai (formerly known as Madras), the capital city of Tamil Nadu, is the gateway of South India with an international airport, sea ports and rail and road network connectivity. Coimbatore, Madurai and Tiruchirappalli, Salem and Tirunelveli are some of the other major towns in the state. The state has large number of good educational institutions and is one of the leaders in the field of Science and Technology and particularly in Information Technology.

The investment scenario in the State is very buoyant due to the transparent and proactive approach of the Government. The State has emerged as the front-runner in attracting new investments in Manufacturing sector. Within the manufacturing sector, sunrise industries like Electronic Hardware, Automobiles and components, apart from traditionally strong industries like Textiles & Garments, Leather products, etc, are the primemovers of the manufacturing sector in Tamil Nadu. The vision of the Government is to make Tamil Nadu as the hub for Global Manufacturing. Tamil Nadu has been amongst the top three States in terms of ICT investments and production. It has emerged as a hub for software, hardware and R&D. The number of Indian and Multinational organizations having presence in Tamil Nadu is a testimony to this. ICT production in Tamil Nadu touched a high of US $ 5.7 billion in 2006-07 and is expected to rise even further in the coming few years. Tamil Nadu now wishes to leverage the unique advantages it possesses and enhance its presence in the ICT sector.

2. HISTORY OF TNEB

Electricity generation in Tamil Nadu until about 1908 was confined to a few tiny plants in Tea Estates run on water power and to a small hydro electric station at Kattery near Coonoor. The Government Electricity department was created in 1927. The Pykara Hydro electric Power Station was constructed by Sir John G. Henry Howard , a British Engineer and the first Chief Electrical Engineer of the then Composite Madras State Electricity Department and commissioned in 1933 with an original installed capacity of 70 MW. The Tamil Nadu Electricity Board was constituted with effect from 1st July 1957 under the Electricity Supply Act 1948 and came to be known as The Madras State Electricity Board with Padmashri V.P. Appadurai appointed as Chief Engineer (Electricity). The first thermal power plant was commissioned during 1971 at Ennore, Chennai with its first unit of 60 MW capacities. Naphtha based gas station of 10 MW capacity was commissioned at Narimanam during 1991-92.TNEB simultaneously ventured into wind generation and 120 units with a total capacity of 19.355 MW was commissioned in the period 1986-93. In 1992, the power sector was thrown open for private participation and the first independent power project was established by GMR Vasavi at Basin Bridge, Chennai. Today TNEB has grown into a giant organization having a installed capacity of 10,122 MW and serving a consumer base of about 2 crore consumers.

3. PROFILE OF TNEB
On 1 st July 1957, Tamil Nadu Electricity Board came into being and has remained the energy provider and distributor all these years. During the period the Government have extended the electrical network to all the villages and towns throughout the state. After 53 years of journey on 1st of November 2010 it has restructured itself into TNEB Ltd; Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) Ltd; and Tamil Nadu Transmission Corporation (TANTRANSCO) Ltd. 3.1. MISSION OF THE GOVERNMENT

7. GENERATION: 7.1. DRY BOTTOM ASH HANDLING SYSTEM FOR 600 MW UNITS

Present system:In the existing Boilers of Thermal stations in Board, only the wet system of Bottom ash handling is installed. In this system, the hot clinkers and the bottom ash falling from the Boiler is mixed with water and powdered in clinker grinder and then formed into a slurry. This slurry is pumped into the Ash dyke and stored. After drying, the ash is reclaimed and used for land filling purposes.

Dry system:The dry bottom ash handling system is proposed for the 600 MW units at NCTPS and MTPS. In a typical dry bottom system there will be sliding gates (10 pairs) installed below the boiler furnace. In between the sliding gate and the furnace there is a Mechanical seal which prevents air ingress into the furnace. Below the bottom ash hopper there are metallic conveyor belts which run continuously carrying the hot bottom ash and discharging into the crusher. At the discharge end of the belt there is a flap gate which is crack opened to allow atmospheric air to enter the hopper for cooling the ash. The cooled ash is crushed in the Primary crusher and secondary crusher (if required) and sent to the ash silos for collecting the ash in any of the 3 forms i.e. Dry/semi wet with humidifier/Completely wet). The dry ash is evacuated from the crushers by vacuum pumps and stored in the silos for disposal by trucks to the user industries

Advantages:1) 2) 3) The wet system involves huge water consumption. High maintenance costs due to corrosion and clogging. Environmental issues due to leakages of contaminated water and loss of boiler

efficiency, and negative effects on boiler operation due to low reliability and poor maintainability of wet system. This wet system is objected by the MOEF, New Delhi since this system requires huge quantity of water which has become scarce. The wet ash stored in
21

the dyke contaminates the ground water table and also large area is occupied by the ash dyke. If sea water is used for collecting the Bottom ash, then the ash can be used for land filling purposes only. If the wet system is replaced is by dry system the ash dyke area can be beneficially used for plant purposes. The dry bottom ash can be used for downstream industries like cement and brick making. Board will also be monetarily benefited by way of sale of dry fly ash to the user industries 7.2.

PROPOSED

PIPE

CONVEYOR

SYSTEM

FOR

ENNORE

THERMAL POWER STATION General:This system is meant for transportation of coal from North Chennai Thermal Power Station coal yard directly to ETPS for both the existing 450 MW station and the proposed 1x600 MW, replacing the present system of transportation by Rail wagons. The approximate length of the proposed pipe conveyor is 4.5 Kms. This system is the first of its kind in TNEB.

Figure 5.1 PIPE CONVEYOR SYSTEM

22

Description:The pipe conveyor as the name indicates, will be of either rubber cord / steel cord belt conveyor in the flat form while taking up the material and as it gradually moves in between the rollers arranged in a hexagonal position, wounds itself into a form of closed pipe and then at the discharge end it again gradually opens out to take a flat form and after discharging the material again it folds into the pipe form and returns back to the receiving end for continuous carrying of material.

Advantages:1. The pipe conveyor is a cost effective and eco friendly method of transportation of

coal to ETPS. 2. If the coal is transported by a Pipe conveyor, pollution and pilferage is avoided

during transportation which is not the case when transportation is done by rail wagons. 3. Pollution inside the ETPS is also reduced since the crushed coal is transported to the

station through the pipe conveyor thereby avoiding coal unloading and crushing at ETPS. 4. A pipe conveyor can take an inclination of up to 35 degrees and can bend both

vertically and laterally to take a profile that will match with the surface on which it is to be installed. 5. A pipe conveyor can be used for dual purpose also i.e. it can carry coal in the

forward direction and in the return direction it can take the fly ash. The capacity of the proposed pipe conveyor is 2000TPH with 2 streams i.e. 2 x1000TPH with pipe diameter of 400 mm. It is proposed to implement this system for Udangudi Power Corporation Ltd also.

7.3.

GAS INSULATED SWITCH GEAR SUBSTATION

Figure 5.2 The Gas Insulated Switchgear System is a modern technology replacing the conventional open Air System for Sub Stations. The above system is called as GIS System since the activities involving both switching operation, and breaking the system under live condition are carried out with the switchgears inside the gas filled chamber instead of in open air system. The gas employed is SF6 which possesses a high degree of Dielectric strength. The GIS system is highly reliable involving very minor maintenance and occupies only a small area when compared to the convention one. It gives total environmental protection and free from fire hazards as all the activities are done inside the closed chamber. The failure rate of the above system is also very negligible. It is highly resistant to pollution, compared to the conventional type and free from environmental effects such as salt deposits in coastal regions, sand storms and humidity in the atmosphere etc. Insulator cleaning is also eliminated. Live parts i.e. Buses and Connections are within earthed enclosures and are inaccessible, thus giving maximum safety to the operators. The civil works are also minimized. Due to this systems compatibility, it is possible to erect a GIS substation in densely populated areas, for both outdoor and indoor use in accordance with clients requirements.
24

The TNEB has already commissioned one 230/110 KV Substation with GIS System at Mylapore in Chennai during 1998. The above GIS Substation is in service for the past ten years without any break down. Considering the advantage of GIS System, the TNEB has now proposed 400 KV GIS Substation first time in TNEB in the forth coming Thermal Plants as below 1. North Chennai Thermal Power Station Stage II (2 * 600 MW) 2. Metter Thermal Power Station (1* 600 MW) Also proposal for evolving few more GIS Substation at 230 KV level as given below is also under consideration. a. TNEB Head quarters 230 KV GIS Sub Station. b. Guindy 230 KV GIS Sub Station. c. Central Jail 230 KV GIS Sub Station. North Chennai Thermal Power Station Stage II (2x600MW)

General:
TNEB is generating power from various sources viz. Hydro, Thermal, Gas and Wind. In respect of thermal generation so far the highest capacity of single unit established in Tamil Nadu Electricity Board is 210 MW only. The following 12 Thermal units of 210 MW are under operation with plant load factor of more than 85%. NCTPS MTPS TTPS : : : 3 x 210 MW 4 x 210 MW 5 x 210 MW

Tamil Nadu Electricity Board has now awarded EPC contract to M/s.BHEL for establishment of 2x600 MW NCTPS, Stage-II in the premises of existing NCTPS complex. They are under execution stage and the units will be put into operation during the year 2010-2011. Though M/s.BHEL have executed more than 30 sets of 500MW unit, this is the first 600 MW order for M/s.BHEL.
25

Turbine:
The configuration of the Turbine is based on the proven configuration of BHELs 500 MW units. The 600 MW units will have HP & LP turbine modules of 500 MW sets coupled with two LP modules of 250MW sets. M/s.BHEL have informed that the configuration of the above modules is capable of delivering 600 MW gross capacity.

Steam Generator:
The steam generator will be two pass, single drum, balance draft and tangential fired. The existing boilers of 210 MW capacity are having natural circulation whereas 600 MW steam generator will have controller circulation.

Environmental Friendly:
The Electrostatic precipitator is designed to limit the emission level to 50 mg/Nm at 100% BMCR firing worst coal. Sea water contain large amount of microbiological fluids which will foul the sea water conducting system. Chlorine is the most commonly used disinfectant for water treatment for prevention of bio-fouling. But there are limitations in use of

chlorine. However, this project will adopt electro chlorination technology which is adapted first time in our thermal power plant. The function of the Electro-chlorination system is to generate NaOCl which will be effective in preventing fouling thereby creating hostile environment by continuous chlorination of the cooling water circuits. Sea water will be delivered to the Electro-chlorination plant by sea water booster pumps. Sea water will be strained to remove solid particles by sea water strainers with automatic backwash facility for cleaning of filtering element. The generation of available chlorine from sea water a dilute hypochlorite solution will be carried out in Hypochlorite generator by electrolysis cells of hypochlorite generators will be provided by Transformer rectifiers. Hypochlorite dosing is done at fore bay, traveling water screens and water box of the condenser.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

Training culture started as early as 1948 in Tamil Nadu Power Sector. Mettur Technical Training Centre was started to train field staff. Now the training has grown with 4 major Institutes like 1. 2. 3. 4. Transmission & Distribution Training & Development Institute/Madurai Hydro Training Institute/Kuthiraikalmedu Thermal Training Institute/Chennai Staff Training College/Chennai

to cater the needs of Hydro, Thermal, Transmission and Distribution and Management. Ten numbers "Technical Training and Development Centres" were established at Pasumalai, Trichy, Tirunelveli, Thanjavur, Virudhunagar,Vellore, Thiruvannamali, Korattur, Mettur and Coimbatore to cater the needs of staff working in Distribution Areas. Also, One Cable Jointing Training Centre has also been formed to impart practical training on cable jointing techniques at Chennai. We feel proud to announce that TANGEDCO a subsidiary of TNEB Ltd, is the first to design a Training Policy amongst the power Utilities in India. Our mission is Training for All Each Employee has to undergo 3 to 5 days training each year under Enmass Knowledge Updating Programme. For this, two months in a year are declared as EKUP months. Also Special Programmes as per the Training Need Analysis are being conducted. All Training programmes are designed as development & practical oriented ones. Also Distribution Transformers are being adopted by Training Centres. Training faculties visit the Distribution Circle Headquarters and demonstrate the importance of earthing to reduce the transformer failure. By adopting the above practice, transformer failure rate has been brought down to 3.30%. Training programmes are carried out to attend minor repairs of Distribution Transformers at site independently. Training at manufacturer's premises are frequently carried out.
37

Certificates are issued to Distribution Engineers for Failure Free and Accident Free sections. Training has been effectively used to bring about change in attitude. Proactive Excellence Training for Union Representatives, Training on topics of current interest, Power sector reforms, Consumer Satisfaction, Electricity Act 2003, RTI Act 2005 are some of the training programme imparted to Engineers and Staff to create awareness of the changes taking place in the power industry. HRD&HRM training for trainers are being given in Anna Institute of Management. Trainers are sent to various institutions like PMI / NTPC, NPTI, ESCI, PFC and other institutions for knowledge upgradation. Trainers are sent to foreign countries like JICA,Japan to enhance their skills and later imparting their knowledge gained to our own employees through several training programmes We feel Proud to announce that the following 3 Institutes have been recognised by CEA/Ministry of Power/Government of India/New Delhi as Category I Institutes : Transmission & Distribution Training & Development Institute, Madurai Hydro Training Institute, Kuthiraikalmedu Thermal Training Institute, North Chennai Also numbers of technical seminars are organized through different manufacturers to upgrade the knowledge on the products in the market. Graduate Apprenticeship as well as Diploma Apprenticeship training is given to fresh graduates and diploma holders as per the Apprenticeship Act. Induction Training is provided to all Officers and staff of all categories both Technical and Non-Technical. In addition to this, TNEB officials are sponsored to other utility Training centres like ESCI / Hyderabad, PMI / Noida, CPRI / Bangalore, NPTI / Neyveli etc., From 2005-06, USAID funded DRUM training programmes have been conducted for Class I&II employees in T&DT&DI/Madurai & STC/Chennai.
38

From 2009-10 National training programmes for Class C&D employees are being conducted for Class III & IV employees in our Institute/Centres of HRD Department with funding from REC. Similarly R-APDRP Capacity Building programmes for class C&D employees are being conducted from January 2010 with funding from Power Finance Corporation. Also efforts are being taken to arrange for the conduction of R-

APDRPCapacity Building programmes for Class I & II employees. Apart from this, efforts are being taken to conduct the training programmes for the employees of other State Electricity Department like Puducherry and Andaman & Nicobar Islands In this financial year, Energy conservation & Electrical Safety Training programmes are arranged to be conducted in all the Institute/Centres to cover and achieve a target of 1 Lakh people. In this connection FICCI Energy Conservation Personality Award 2010 was received by the Chairman and Managing Director/TANGEDCO recently. It is also noted that the HRD wing has also organizing training programme to out side participants on payment basis. Necessary details may be obtained from HRD wing through 044- 28550860. Apart from this, Students from various Institutions are permitted to do their Inplant training and Project work by collecting a meager amount of Rs.500/- and Rs.1000/- per student respectively by the concerned station heads 9.3. Profile The Cable Jointing Training and Development Centre was established in the year 1962 and functioning at 33/11KV Nehru Indoor Stadium SS/I Floor, Kannappar Thidal, Chennai-3 CJT&DC is an exclusive & only training centre which gives hands on practical training to the work force (Field Staffs) & make them as Skilled Jointers .It is unique in its kind in India.

CABLE JOINTING TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT CENTRE

39

Training programmes were conducted by this centre to the foreign nominees (Field staff) eg NEPAL. The Cable jointers trained from this institute are getting foreign opportunities. More number of cable jointers trained from this centre are still working in foreign Countries - particularly in ARAB Countries. At present training is given to both the officers & work force of TNEB and training is imparted to the trainees both in theory and practical. For the FIRST TIME ,CJT&DC extends its service to outside persons (in the level of Engineers/ Supervisors/ Managers) other than TNEB and conducted 2 days National level Awareness training programme about Under Ground Power Cables & Jointing Techniques at Howard Hall, TNEB Head Quarters, Chennai -02 . FUTURE TREND: In future the LT over head lines will be slowly replaced and distribution system will be maximum with UNDER GROUND POWER CABLES & hence cable jointing training is gaining more importance.

The Cable Jointing Training is very much essential and necessary, since joints are the weakest portion of the cable network and the reliability depends upon the human skill of the cable jointer. In the CJT&DC cable jointers are trained in a systematic way and their HUMAN SKILL is improved. To carry out the quality oriented joint and there by reducing cable joint failures results in maintenance of uninterrupted supply to the fullest satisfaction of the consumers.

METHODOLOGY OF TRAINING: The Cable Jointing Training Centre is the hands on practical oriented Training Centre. Theory session

Architecture of Power Cables, Earthing & safety aspects in the Power Cable Network & modern trends.

Important Points to be taken care in the field of Power Cable Laying, Handling, Transportation & Storing.
