ABOUT NTPC
India‟s largest power company, NTPC was set up in 1975 to accelerate power
development in India. NTPC is emerging as a diversified power major with presence
in the entire value chain of the power generation business. Apart from power
generation, which is the mainstay of the company, NTPC has already ventured into
consultancy,
st
power trading, ash utilization and coal mining. NTPC ranked 341 in the 2010 Forbes
Global 2000 ranking of the World’s biggest companies. NTPC became a Maharatna
company in May, 2010, one of the only four companies to be awarded this status.
The total installed capacity of the company is 39,174 MW (including JVs) with 16 coal
based and 7 gas based stations, located across the country. In addition under JVs, 7
stations are coal based & another station uses naphtha/LNG as fuel. The company has
set a target to have an installed power generating capacity of 1,28,000 MW by the year
2032. The capacity will have a diversified fuel mix comprising 56% coal, 16% Gas,
11% Nuclear and 17% Renewable Energy Sources(RES) including hydro. By 2032,
non-fossil fuel based generation capacity shall make up nearly 28% of NTPC‟s
portfolio.
NTPC has been operating its plants at high efficiency levels. Although the company has
17.75% of the total national capacity, it contributes 27.40% of total power generation due
to its focus on high efficiency.
In October 2004, NTPC launched its Initial Public Offering (IPO) consisting of 5.25% as
fresh issue and 5.25% as offer for sale by Government of India. NTPC thus became a
listed company in November 2004 with the Government holding 89.5% of the equity
share capital. In February 2010, the Shareholding of Government of India was reduced
from 89.5% to 84.5% through Further Public Offer. The rest is held by Institutional
Investors and the Public.

into a Memorandum of Understanding-MOU with the Government in 1987-88. NTPC
has been placed under the 'Excellent category' (the best category) every year since the
MOU system became operative. Harmony between man and environment is the essence
of healthy life and growth. Therefore, maintenance of ecological balance and a pristine
environment has been of utmost importance to NTPC. It has been taking
various measures discussed below for mitigation of environment pollution due to
power generation.
NTPC is the second largest owner of trees in the country after the Forest department.

As early as in November 1995, NTPC brought out a comprehensive document entitled
"NTPC Environment Policy and Environment Management System". Amongst the
guiding principles adopted in the document is company‟s proactive approach to
environment, optimum utilization of equipment, adoption of latest technologies and
continual environment improvement. The policy also envisages efficient utilization of
resources, thereby minimizing waste, maximizing ash utilization and providing green
belt all around the plant for maintaining ecological balance.
Electrostatic Precipitators:
The ash left behind after combustion of coa l is arrested in high efficiency
Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs) and particulate emission is controlled well within
the stipulated norms. The ash collected in the ESPs is disposed to Ash Ponds in slurry
form.
Flue Gas Stacks:
Tall Flue Gas Stacks have been provided for wide dispersion of the gaseous emissions
(SOX, NOX etc.) into the atmosphere.
Low-NOX Burners:
In gas based NTPC power stations, NOX emissions are controlled by provision of Low
- NOX Burners (Dry or wet type) and in coal fired stati ons, by adopting best
combustion practices.
Neutralization Pits:
Neutralization pits have been provided in the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) for pH
correction of the Effluents before discharge into Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) for
further treatment and use.
DE & DS Systems:
Dust Extraction (DE) and Dust Suppression (DS) systems have been installed in all coal
fired power stations in NTPC to contain and extract the fugitive dust released in the Coal
Handling Plant (CHP).
Cooling Towers:
Cooling Towers have been provided for cooling the hot Condenser cooling water in
closed cycle, Condenser Cooling Water (CCW) Systems. This helps in reduction in
thermal pollution and conservation of fresh water.
Ash Dykes & Ash Disposal systems:
Ash ponds have been provided at all coal based stations except Dadri where Dry Ash
Disposal System has been provided. Ash Ponds have been divided into lagoons and
provided with garlanding arrangement for changeover of the ash slurry feed points for
even filling of the pond and for effective settlement of the ash parti cles.
Ash in slurry form is discharged into the lagoons where ash particles get settled from the
slurry and clear effluent water is discharged from the ash pond. The discharged effluents
conform to standards specified by CPCB and the same is regularly mon itored.
At its Dadri Power Station, NTPC has set up a unique system for dry ash collection and
disposal facility with Ash Mound formation. This has been envisaged for the first time
in Asia which has resulted in progressive development of green belt besides far less
requirement of land and less water requirement as compared to the wet ash disposal
system.
BADARPUR THERMAL POWER STATION was established on 1973 and it was the
part of Central Government. On 01/04/1978 is was given as No Loss No Profit Plant of
NTPC. Since then operating performance of NTPC has been considerably above the
national average. The availability factor for coal stations has increased from 85.03 %
in
1997-98 to 90.09 % in 2006-07, which compares favorably with international standards.
The PLF has increased from 75.2% in1997-98 to 89.4% during the year 2006-07 which is
the highest since the inception of NTPC.
Badarpur thermal power station started with a single 95 mw unit. There were 2 more units
(95 MW each) installed in next 2 consecutive years. Now it has total five units with total
capacity of
720 MW. Ownership of BTPS was transferred to NTPC with effect from 01.06.2006 through
GOIs Gazette Notification .
The power is supplied to a 220 KV network that is a part of the northern grid. The ten
circuits through which the power is evacuated from the plant are:
1. Mehrauli
2. Okhla
3. Ballabgarh
4. Indraprastha
5. UP (Noida)
6. Jaipur
Given below are the details of unit with the year they’re installed.
Station Location
Badarpur is situated only 20 km away from Delhi. The plant is located on the left side of
the National Highway (Delhi-Mathura Road) and it comprises of 430 hectares (678 acres)
bordered by the Agra Canal from East and by Mathura-Delhi Road from West.
However, the area for ash disposal is done in the Delhi Municipal limit and is maintained
with the help of Delhi Development Authority. The plant is also close to the project of 220
kv Double Circuit Transmission line between the I.P. station and Ballabgarh Cooling Water
is obtained from Agra Canal for the cooling
system. Additional 60 cusecs channel has also been constructed parallel to the Agra
Canal so as to obtain uninterrupted water supply during the slit removing operation in
Agra Canal.
OPERATION OF A POWER PLANT
Basic Principle
In a Badarpur Thermal PowerStation, steam is produced and used to spin a turbine that
operates a generator. Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which
drives an electrical generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed
in a condenser; this is known as a Rankine cycle.
The electricity generated at the plant is sent to consumers through high-voltage power
lines The Badarpur Thermal Power Plant has Steam Turbine-Driven Generators which
has a collective capacity of 705MW. The fuel being used is Coal which is supplied
from the Jharia Coal Field in Jharkhand. Water supply is given from the Agra Canal.

Coal from the coal wagons is unloaded in t he coal handling plant. This Coal is transported up
to the raw coal bunkers with the help of belt conveyors. Coal is transported to Bowl mills by
Coal Feeders. The coa l is pulverized in the Bowl Mill, where it is ground to powder form
The mill consists of a round metallic table on which coal particles fa ll. This table is r
otated with the help of a motor. There are three large steel rollers, which are spaced 120
apart. When there is no coa l, these rollers do not rotate but when the coal is fed to the table it
packs up between roller and t he table and ths forces the rollers to rotate. Coal is crushed
by the crushing action between t he rollers and the rotat ing ta be. This crushed coa l is taken
away to the furnace through coal pipes with the help of hot and cold air mixture from P.A
Fan.
P.A. Fan takes atmospheric air, a part of which is sent to Air-Preheaters for heating while a
part goes directly to the mill for temperature control. At mospheric air from FD. Fan is heated
in the air heaters and sent to the furnace as combustion air.
Water from the boiler feed pump passes through economiZer and reaches the boiler drum
Water from the drum passes t hrough down comersand goes to the bottom ring header. Water
from the bottom ring header is divided to all the four sides of the furnace.Due to heat and
densi ty difference, the water rises up in the water wall tubes. Water is partly converted to
steam as it rises up in the furnace. This steam and water mi>.."ture is again taken to thee boiler
drum where the steam is separated from water.

PARTS OF A POWER PLANT
1. Cooling Tower
Cooling towers are heat removal devices used to transfer process waste heat to the
atmosphere. Cooling towers may either use the evaporation of water to remove process
heat and cool the working fluid to near the wet-bulb air temperature or in the case of
closed circuit dry cooling towers rely solely on air to cool the working fluid to near the
dry-bulb air temperature. Common applications include cooling the circulating water
used in oil refineries, chemical plants, power stations and building cooling.
The towers vary in size from small roof-top units to very large hyperboloid structures that
can be up to 200 meters tall and 100 meters in diameter, or rectangular structures that can
be over 40 meters tall and 80 meters long. Smaller towers are normally factory -built,
while larger ones are constructed on site. The absorbed heat is rejected to the atmosphere
by the evaporation of some of the cooling water in mechanical forced-draft or induced
1
Draft towers or in natural draft hyperbolic shaped cooling towers as seen at most
nuclear power plants.
5. Electrical generator
An Electrical generator is a device that converts kinetic energy to electrical energy,
generally using electromagnetic induction. The task of converting the electrical energy
into mechanical energy is accomplished by using a motor. The source of mechanical
energy maybe water falling through the turbine or steam turning a turbine (as is the case
with thermal power plants). There are several classifications for modern steam
turbines. Steam turbines are used in our entire major coal fired power stations to drive
the generators or alternators, which produce electricity. The turbines themselves are
driven by steam generated in "boilers “or "steam generators" as they are sometimes
called. Electrical power stations use large steam turbines driving electric generators to
produce most (about 86%) of the world‟s electricity. These centralized stati ons are of
two types: fossil fuel power plants and nuclear power plants. The turbines used for
electric power generation are most often directly coupled to their-generators .As the
generators must rotate at constant synchronous speeds according to the frequency of the
electric power system, the most common speeds are 3000 r/min for 50 Hz systems, and
3600 r/min for
60 Hz systems. Most large nuclear sets rotate at half those speeds, and have a 4
-pole generator rather than the more common 2-pole one.
12. Deaerator
A Deaerator is a device for air removal and used to remove dissolved gases (an alternate
would be the use of water treatment chemicals) from boiler feed water to make it non -
corrosive. A dearator typically includes a vertical domed deaeration section as the
deaeration boiler feed water tank. A Steam generating boiler requires that the circulating
steam, condensate, and feed water should be devoid of dissolved gases, particularly
corrosive ones and dissolved or suspended solids. The gases will give rise to corrosion
of the metal. The solids will deposit on the heating surfaces giving rise to localized
heating and tube ruptures due to overheating. Under some conditions it may give rise to
stress corrosion cracking. Deaerator level and pressure must be controlled by adjusting
control valves the level by regulating condensate flow and the pressure by regulating
steam flow. If operated properly, most deaerator vendors will guarantee that oxygen in
the deaerated water will not exceed 7 ppb by weight (0.005 cm3/L)
21. Reheater
Reheater is a heater which is used to raise the temperature of steam which has fallen from
the intermediate pressure turbine.
22. Air Intake
Air is taken from the environment by an air intake tower which is fed to the fuel.
23. Economizers
Economizer, or in the UK economizer, are mechanical devices intended to reduce energy
consumption, or to perform another useful function like preheating a fluid. The term
economizer is used for other purposes as well-Boiler, power plant, heating, ventilating
and air-conditioning. In boilers, economizer are heat exchange devices that heat fluids ,
usually water, up to but not normally beyond the boiling point of the fluid. Economizers
are so named because they can make use of the enthalpy and improving the boiler‟s
efficiency. They are devices fitted to a boiler which save energy by using the exhaust
gases from the boiler to preheat the cold water used to fill it (the feed water). Modern day
boilers, such as those in cold fired power stations, are still fitted with economizer which
is decedents of Green‟s original design. In this context there are turbines before it is
pumped to the boilers. A common application of economizer in steam power plants is to
capture the waste heat from boiler stack gases (flue gas) and transfer thus it to the boiler
feed water thus lowering the needed energy input , in turn reducing the firing rates to
accomplish the rated boiler output . Economizer lower stack temperatures which may
cause condensation of acidic combustion gases and serious equipment corrosion damage
if care is not taken in their design and material selection.

MOTORS
In modern thermal power plant three phase squirrel cage induction motors are used but
sometime double wound motor is used when we need high starting torque e.g. in ball mill.
Ns (speed) =120f/p
Stator can handle concentrated single layer winding, with each coil occupying one stator slot
The most common type of winding are:
1. DISTRIBUTEDWINDING:
This type of winding is distributed over a number of slots.
2. DOUBLELAYERWINDING:
Each stator slot contains sides of two different coils.
Squirrel cage and wound cage have same mode of operation. Rotor conductors cut the
rotating stator magnetic field. an emf is induced across the rotor winding, current
flows, a rotor magnetic field is produced which interacts with the stator field causing a
turning
motion. The rotor does not rotate at synchronous speed, its speed varies with applied
load. The slip speed being just enough to enable sufficient induced rotor current to produce
the power dissipated by the motor load and motor losses.
A good bearing is needed for trouble free operation of motor. Since it is very costly part
of the motor, due care has to be taken by checking it at regular intervals. So
lubricating plays an important role. Two types of lubricating are widely used
1. Oil lubrication
2. Grease lubrication
3. Insulation
INSULATIO
N
Winding is an essential part so it should be insulated. Following types of insulation are
widely used
TYPES OF INSULATION
Y 90
A 105
E 120
B 130
F 155
H 180
C more than 180
5. IGNITOR FAN
It supplies air for cooling of igniters.
INSTRUMENTS SEEN
1. MICROMETER
This instrument is used for measuring inside as well as outside diameter of bearing.
2. MEGGAR
This instrument is used for measuring insulation resistance.
3. VIBRATION TESTER
It measures the vibration of the motor. It is measured in three dimensions-axial,
vertical and horizontal.
SWITCH
GEAR
INTRODUCTION
Switchgear is one that makes or breaks the electrical circuit. It is a switching device that
opens& closes a circuit that defined as apparatus used for switching, Lon rolling &
protecting the electrical circuit & equipments. The switchgear equipment is essentially
concerned with switching & interrupting currents either under normal or abnormal operating
conditions. The tubular switch with ordinary fuse is simplest form of switchgear & is used
to control & protect& other equipments in homes, offices etc. For circuits of higher ratings, a
High Rupturing Capacity (H.R.C) fuse in
condition with a switch may serve the purpose of controlling &protecting the circuit.
However such switchgear cannot be used profitably on high voltage system (3.3 KV) for 2
reasons. Firstly, when a fuse blows, it takes some time to replace it &consequently there is
interruption of service to customer. Secondly, the fuse cannot successfully interrupt large
currents that result from the High Voltage System. In order to interrupt heavy fault
currents, automatic circuit breakers are used. There are very few types of circuit breakers
in B.P.T.S they are VCB, OCB, and SF6 gas circuit breaker. The most expensive circuit
breaker is the SF6 type due to gas. There are various companies which manufacture these
circuit breakers: VOLTAS, JYOTI, and KIRLOSKAR. Switchgear includes switches, fuses,
circuit breakers, relays & other equipments
THE EQUIPMENTS THAT NORMALLY FALL IN THIS CATEGORY ARE:-
1. ISOLATOR
An isolator is one that can break the electrical circuit when the circuit is to be switched on
no load. These are used in various circuits for isolating the certain portion when
required for maintenance etc. An operating mechanism box normally installed at ground
level drives the isolator. The box has an operating mechanism in addition to its contactor
circuit and auxiliary contacts may be solenoid operated pneumatic three phase motor or
DC motor transmitting through a spur gear to the torsion shaft of the isolator. Certain
interlocks are also provided with the isolator
These are
1. Isolator cannot operate unless breaker is open
2. Bus 1 and bus 2 isolators cannot be closed simultaneously
3. The interlock can be bypass in the event of closing of bus coupler breaker.
4. No isolator can operate when the corresponding earth switch is on
2. SWITCHING ISOLATOR
Switching isolator is capable of:
1. Interrupting charging current
2. Interrupting transformer magnetizing current
3. Load transformer switching. Its main application is in connection with the
transformer feeder as the unit makes it possible to switch gear one
transformer while the other is still on load.
3. CIRCUIT BREAKER
One which can make or break the circuit on load and even on faults is referred to as
circuit breakers. This equipment is the most important and is heavy duty equipment
mainly utilized for protection of various circuits and operations on load. Normally
circuit breakers installed are accompanied by isolators.
4. LOAD BREAK SWITCHES
These are those interrupting devices which can make or break circuits. These are
normally on same circuit, which are backed by circuit breakers
5. EARTH SWITCHES
Devices which are used normally to earth a particular system, to avoid any accident
happening due to induction on account of live adjoining circuits. These equipments do
not handle any appreciable current at all. Apart from this equipment there are a
number of relays etc. which are used in switchgear.
Ø LT SWITCHGEAR
In LT switchgear there is no interlocking. It is classified in following ways:-
1. MAIN SWITCH
Main switch is control equipment which controls or disconnects the main supply. The
main switch for 3 phase supply is available for the range 32A, 63A, 100A, 200Q,
300A at 500V grade.
2. FUSES
With Avery high generating capacity of the modern power stations extremely heavy
carnets would flow in the fault and the fuse clearing the fault would be required to
withstand extremely heavy stress in process. It is used for supplying power to
auxiliaries with backup fuse protection. With fuses, quick break, quick make and
double break switch fuses for 63A and 100A, switch fuses for 200A,400A, 600A,
800A and 1000A are used.
3. CONTACTORS
AC Contractors are 3 poles suitable for D.O.L Starting of motors and protecting the
connected motors.
4. OVERLOAD RELAY
For overload protection, thermal overload relay are best suited for this purpose. They
operate due to the action of heat generated by passage of current through relay
element.

§ Motor Voltage-220 V/DC
2. AIR CIRCUIT BREAKER
In this the compressed air pressure around 15 kg per cm^2 is used for extinction of arc
caused by flow of air around the moving circuit . The breaker is closed by applying
pressure at lower opening and opened by applying pressure at upper opening. When
contacts operate, the cold air rushes around the movable contacts and blown the arc:
It has the following advantages over OCB:-
i. Fire hazard due to oil are eliminated.
ii. Operation takes place quickly.
iii. There is less burning of contacts since the duration is short and consistent.
iv. Facility for frequent operation since the cooling medium is replaced
constantly.

3. SF6 CIRCUIT BREAKER
This type of circuit breaker is of construction to dead tank bulk oil to circuit breaker but
the principle of current interruption is similar to that of air blast circuit breaker. It
simply employs the arc extinguishing medium namely SF6. When it is broken down
under an electrical stress, it will quickly reconstitute itself.

4. VACUUM CIRCUIT BREAKER
It works on the principle that vacuum is used to save the purpose of insulation and. In
regards of insulation and strength, vacuum is superior dielectric medium and is better
that all other medium except air and sulphur which are generally used at high
pressure.
COALSUPPLIEDATBTPS
Coal is supplied to BTPS by Jharia coal mines. It is non-cooking coal and has following
specifications:-
§ Moisture- less than 8%
§ Volatile matter-17% to 19%
§ Ash- 35% - 40%
§ Calorific Value- 4500 to 5300 Kcal/kg
§ Coal is received in railway box racks containing 20 - 42 wagons in each rack.
§ Capacity of each box wagon is about 55 ton.
§ These wagons are placed on 2 wagon tippler in OCHP & one wagon tippler in
NCHP, in total 3, capacity 80 ton each.
COAL CYCLE

OLD COAL HANDLING PLANT (OCHP)
KEY DIAGRAM
1
The main constituents of OCHP plant are:-
WAGON TIPPLER
Wagon from coal yard come to the tippler and emptied here. There are 2 wagon tipplers
in the OCHP. The tippler is tilted to about 137°- 141° so that coal from the wagon is
emptied into the hopper. Elliptics feeder is used in OCHP. Total 8 feeders are used, 4 in
each hopper.
Slip Ring Induction Motor is used to operate a wagon tippler. This type of IM is used in
the tippler because of its high resistance, low speed & high torque characteristics. The
rating of the motor used is:
o Power 55 Kw
o Voltage 415V
o Current 102A
o Speed 1480rpm
o Phase 3
o Frequency 50Hz
a) ROTASIDE: - It is used for open type wagons in which each wagon carries around 50-
56 tons of coal. The wagon is tilted by 150° to put the coal in the unloading hopper.
b) ROTARY: - In this case the unloading hopper is placed directly under the tippler table.
This is also used to tilt the wagon tippler to 180°.
c) ROCKING TYPE: - It is used for close type wagons. In this hoppers is placed by the
side of end rocking is provided to facilitate unloading of coal at corners of the wagon.
CONVEYER
Conveyer belts are used in the OCHP to transfer coal from one place to other as required
in a convenient & safe way. All the belts are numbered accordingly so that their function can
be easily demarcated. These belts are made of rubber & move with a speed of 250-300
m/min. Motor employed for the conveyer has a capacity of 150 HP. These conveyers have a
capacity of carrying the coal at the rate of 400 ton/hr.
METAL DETECTOR
As the conveyer belt take coal from wagon to crusher house, no metal piece should go
along with coal. To achieve this objective, metal detectors & separators are used. In the
OCHP, these MD‟s are installed in the conveyer belts 2A & 2B.
CRUSHER HOUSE
Both the plants i.e. OCHP & NCHP use TATA crusher powered by BHEL motor.
Crusher is of ring type and the motor is a HT motor of rating 400HP & 6.6 KV. Crusher is
designed to crush the pieces to 20 mm size i.e. practically considered as the optimum size
for transfer via conveyer.
ROTARY BREAKER
If any large piece of metal of any hard substances like metal impurities comes in the
conveyer belt which cause load on the metal separator, then the rotary breaker rejects them
reducing the load on the metal detector.
STACKER-CUM-
RECLAIMER
It is used for stacking & reclaiming the coal from the stockyard in case of unavailability
of wagons from coal mines.
PLOUGH
FEEDER
These plough feeders are generally installed under slot bunkers or hoppers. These are used top
lough the coal to the belt from the coal fed from stockyard. These feeders used in this
power station are generally of rotary type.
TRIPPER
S
Trippers are provided in the conveyer to collect the material at desired location on either side
or along the conveyer with the help of chute/ducts fitted with tripper itself. The motor in the
tripper can make it move both in forward and reverse direction.
PULL GUARD
SWITCH
These are the switches which are installed at every 10m gap in a conveyer belt to ensure the
safety of motors running the conveyer belts. If at any time some accident happens or coal
jumps from belt and starts collecting at a place, this switch can be moved to NO(normally
open) position from NC (normally closed) position to stop conveyor belt from moving.
At this time the problem can be corrected & then again the switch can be moved to NC
(normally closed) position for normal working again.
INTERLOCKS:
-
The CHP is normally spread over a wide area with centralized control room. Elaborate
scheme is therefore provided. If due to any emergency either the conveyor belt or the
motor has to be stopped, due to this interlocking all the other motors connected to it
will automatically stop &will not work till signal is given from the control room.
The control & protection scheme normally includes: -
§ A hooter system to warn that the plant is going to be started. The plant can be
started only after a definite time after the hooter is energized.
§ Sequential starting of conveyor system and tripping of all proceeding system if
any equipment in the chain is tripped.
§ Tripping of conveyor from speed switch for protection against belt slippage.
SEQUENTIALOPERATIONOFOCHP:-
b) This coal is tippled into hoppers. If the coal is oversized (400 mm sq), then it is
broken manually so that it passes the hopper mesh where through elliptic feeder it is
put into vibrators & then to conveyor belt 1A & 1B.
c) The coal through conveyor belts 1A & 1B goes to the crusher house. Also the
extra coal is sent to stockyard through these belts.
d) In the crusher house the small size coal pieces goes directly to the belt 2A & 2B
whereas the big size coal pieces are crushed in the crusher & then given to the belts
2A & 2B.
e) The crushed coal is taken to the bunker house via the conveyor belts 3A & 3B
where it can be used for further operations.
NEW COAL HNDLING PLANT
(NCHP)
KEY
DIAGRAM
The main constituents of NCHP plant are:-
Most of the constituents of the NCHP are the same as that of OCHP.
WAGON TIPPLER
In NCHP there is only one wagon tippler. In this it takes 52 sec to raise a wagon, 10 sec to
empty the wagon completely & then again 52 sec to bring the tippler down. A semicircular
huge WT gear is used to run the tippler. Protocol cameras have been installed for safety to
ensure that no moving creature or object is near the wagon which is on the tippler.
COAL FEEDER TO THE PLANT
Vibro feeders are installed below the hopper which helps in putting the coal to the conveyor
belts. There are 2 conveyor belts & 3 vibro feeder per plant, so in total there are 6
vibrofeeders.
§ Power 15HP
§ Voltage 415V
§ Speed 1450rpm
REJECTION HOUSE
The coal comes to breaker house via conveyor belts 12A & 12B. Now in the breaker
house the huge stones & metal impurities are separated & sent to reject bin house
through belts 18A
&18B.
RECLAIM HOPPER
It is the stockyard in which coal is stored for emergency purposes. Around 3 lakh ton of
coal can be stored in it
TURNING POINT 7
CRUSHER HOUSE
To ensure that the coal is of uniform size it is passed through crusher. The crusher is of
ring type. Has a motor rating of 400HP,606KV.It is designed to crush the pieces to 20mm
size
EXIT
SEQUENTIAL OPERATION OF NCHP:-
b) if the coal is oversized (400mm sq), then it is broken manually so that it passes through
the hopper mesh.
d) Conveyors 12A & 12B take the coal to the breaker house which renders the coal size to be
100 mm sq.
e) Metal separator & metal detector are installed in conveyor belts 14A/B & 15A/B
respectively to remove the metal impurities
.f) Stones which are not able to pass through the 100mm sq mesh of hammer are
rejected via 18A & 18B to the rejection house.
g) Extra coal is sent to the reclaim hopper via conveyor 16A & 16B.
h)From TP-7, coal is taken by conveyor 14A & 14B to the crusher house whose function
is to render size of the coal to 20mm sq.
Sometimes the belt is wet due to any reason, so it may not run due to reduced friction. A
switch senses this and prevents the belt from choking.
Sometime any accident may occur which requires the belt to stop, the pull cords are
pulled to stop the conveyor. This system starts again only when the pull cords are rest.
There is a push button in the control room from where the belt can be stopped in case
of emergency stoppage. Other equipments are pulley. Pulleys are made of mild steel,
rubber logging is provided to increase the friction factor between the pulley and belt.
MILLING
SYSTEM
1. RCBUNKER
Raw coal is fed directly to these bunkers. These are 3 in no. per boiler. 4 & ½ tons of coal
are fed in 1 hr. the depth of bunkers is 10m.
2. RC FEEDER
It transports pre-crust coal from raw coal bunker to mill. The quantity of raw coal
fed in mill can be controlled by speed control of aviator drive controlling damper
and aviator change
3. BALLMILL:
The ball mill crushes the raw coal to a certain height and then allows it to fall
down. Due to impact of ball on coal and attraction as per the particles move over
each other as well as over the Armor lines, the coal gets crushed. Large particles
are broken by impact and full grinding is done by attraction. The Drying and
grinding option takes place simultaneously inside the mill. In ball mill coal is
converted to powdered form and due to pneumatic action the powdered form of
coal is transferred upwards.
4. CLASSIFIER:
It is equipment which serves separation of fine pulverized coal particles medium from
coarse medium. The pulverized coal along with the carrying medium strikes the
impact plate through the lower part. Large particles are then transferred to the ball mill.
5. MILL FAN
From ball mill the powdered coal is sucked through mill fan.
6. CYCLONE SEPARATORS
It separates the pulverized coal from carrying medium. The mixture of pulverized coal
vapour caters the cyclone separators tangentially in the upper part of the separator. Due
to decrease in the velocity the centrifugal action, the pulverized coal separated from the
vapour &falls down to the lower epical part.
7. THE TURNIGATE
It serves to transport pulverized coal from cyclone separators to pulverized coal bunker or
to worm conveyors. There are 4 turnigates per boiler.
8. WORMCONVEYOR
It is equipment used to distribute the pulverized coal from bunker of one system to
bunker of other system. It can be operated in both directions

GENERATOR
S
The generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. There are two
components stator and rotor. The rotor is the moving part and the stator is the stationary
part. The rotor, which has a field winding, is given a excitation through a set of 3000rpm
to give the required frequency of HZ. The rotor is cooled by Hydrogen gas, which is locally
manufactured by the plant and has high heat carrying capacity of low density. If oxygen
and hydrogen get mixed then they will form very high explosive and to prevent their
combining in any way there is seal oil system. The stator cooling is done by de-mineralized
(DM) water through hollow conductors. Water is fed by one end by Teflon tube. A boiler and
a turbine are coupled to electric generators. Steam from the boiler is fed to the turbine
through the connecting pipe. Steam drives the turbine rotor. The turbine rotor drives the
generator rotor which turns the electromagnet within the coil of wire conductors.
Carbon dioxide is provided from the top and oil is provided from bottom to the generator.
With the help of carbon dioxide the oil is drained out to the oil tank.

§ DM water is used to cool the stator.
§ Seal oil is used to prevent hydrogen leakage
§ Seal oil coolers are present to cool the seal oil
§ Hydrogen dryer are used which removes the moisture from hydrogen gas and then
is supplied to the generator.
§ Clarified water in cooling tower is used to cool down the hydrogen gas.

INTRODUCTION
WORKING
PRINCIPLE:
§ CONSERVATOR
It is used generally to conserve the insulating property of the oil from deterioration&
protect the transformer against failure on account of bad quality of oil.
§ BUSHINGS
It is made from highly insulating material to insulate & to bring out the terminals
of the transformer from the container. The bushings are of 3 types:
§ OIL GUAGE
Every transformer with an oil guage to indicate the oil level. The oil guage may be
provided with the alarm contacts which gave an alarm the oil level has dropped
beyond permissible height due to oil leak etc.
§ TAPPINGS
The transformer are usually provided with few tappings on secondary side so
that output voltage can be varied for constant input voltage.
§ RADIATORS
It increases the surface area of the tank & more heat is thus radiated in less time.
CLASSIFICATION:

THECORE:
(II) ACCORDINGTO
PHASES:
a) 1phase transformer
b) 3phase transformer
As size of transformer becomes large, the rate of the oil circulating becomes insufficient
to dissipate all the heat produced & artificial means of increasing the circulation by
electric pumps. In very large transformers, special coolers with water circulation may
have to be employed.

UNIT AUXILIARY TRANSFORMER
(UAT)
The UAT draws its input from the main bus-ducts. The total KVA capacity of UAT
required can be determined by assuming 0.85 power factor & 90% efficiency for
total auxiliary motor load. It is safe & desirable to provide about 20% excess capacity
then circulated to provide for miscellaneous auxiliaries & possible increase in
auxiliary.
STATION
TRANSFORMER
It is required to feed power to the auxiliaries during startups. This transformer is normally
rated for initial auxiliary load requirements of the unit in typical cases; this load is of the
order of 60% of the load at full generating capacity. It is provided with on load tap
change to cater to the fluctuating voltage of the grid.
NEUTRAL GROUNDED
TRANSFORMER
This transformer is connected with supply coming out of UAT in stage-2. This is used to
ground the excess voltage if occurs in the secondary of UAT in spite of rated voltage.
SWITCH YARD
As we know that electrical energy can‟t be stored like cells, so what we generate should
be consumed instantaneously. But as the load is not constants therefore we generate
electricity according to need i.e. the generation depends upon load. The yard is the places
from where the electricity is send outside. It has both outdoor and indoor equipments.

§ BUS BAR
Bus bars generally are of high conductive aluminum conforming to IS-5082 or
copper of adequate cross section .Bus bar located in air insulated enclosures &
segregated from all other components .Bus bar is preferably cover with
polyurethane.
§ BY PASS BUS
This bus is a backup bus which comes handy when any of the buses become faulty.
When any operation bus has fault, this bus is brought into circuit and then faulty line
is removed there by restoring healthy power line.
§ LIGHTENING ARRESTOR
It saves the transformer and reactor from over voltage and over currents. It
grounds the overload if there is fault on the line and it prevents the generator
transformer. The practice is to install lightening arrestor at the incoming terminal of
the line. We have to use the lightning arrester both in primary and secondary of
transformer and in reactors. A meter is provided which indicates the surface leakage
and internal grading current of arrester.
§ WAVE TRAP
Power line carrier communication (PLCC) is mainly used for telecommunication,
tele-protection and tele-monitoring between electrical substations through power
lines at high voltages, such as 110 kV, 220 kV, and 400 kV. PLCC integrates the
transmission of communication signal and 50/60 Hz power signal through the
same electric power cable. The major benefit is the union of two important
applications in a single system. WAVETRAP is connected in series with
the power (transmission) line. It blocks the high frequency carrier waves (24
KHz to 500 KHz) and let power waves (50 Hz - 60 Hz) to pass-through.
§ BREAKER
Circuit breaker is an arrangement by which we can break the circuit or flow of
current. A circuit breaker in station serves the same purpose as switch but it has
many added and complex features. The basic construction of any circuit breaker
requires the separation of contact in an insulating fluid that servers two
functions:
i. extinguishes the arc drawn between the contacts when circuit breaker opens.
ii. It provides adequate insulation between the contacts and from each contact to
earth.
§ EARTHING ROD
Normally un-galvanized mild steel flats are used for earthling. Separate earthing
electrodes are provided to earth the lightening arrestor whereas the other
equipments are earthed by connecting their earth leads to the rid/ser of the ground
mar.
§ CURRENT TRANSFORMER
It is essentially a step up transformer which step down the current to a known
ratio. It is a type of instrument transformer designed to provide a current in
its secondary winding proportional to the alternating current flowing in its
primary.
§ POTENTIAL TRANSFORMER
It is essentially a step down transformer and it step downs the voltage to a known ratio.
§ RELAYS
Relay is a sensing device that makes your circuit ON or OFF. They detect the
abnormal conditions in the electrical circuits by continuously measuring the electrical
quantities, which are different under normal and faulty conditions, like current, voltage
frequency. Having detected the fault the relay operates to complete the trip circuit,
which results in the opening of
the circuit breakers and disconnect the faulty circuit.
There are different types of relays:
i. Current relay
ii. Potential relay
iii. Electromagnetic
relay iv. Numerical
relay etc.
§ ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR
An electrostatic precipitator ( ESP) or electrostatic air cleaner
is a particulate collection device that removes particles from a flowing gas (such
as air) using the force of an induced electrostatic charge. Electrostatic
precipitators are highly efficient filtration devices that minimally impede the flow
of gases through the device, and can easily remove fine particulate matter such
as dust and smoke from the air stream.
In contrast to wet scrubbers which apply energy directly to the flowing fluid
medium, an ESP applies energy only to the particulate matter being collected and
therefore is very efficient in its consumption of energy (in the form of
electricity).The most basic precipitator contains a row of thin vertical wires, and
followed by a stack of large flat metal plates oriented vertically, with the plates
typically spaced about 1 cm to18 cm apart, depending on the application. The air
or gas stream flows horizontally through the spaces between the wires, and then
passes through the stack of plates. A negative voltage of several thousand volts is
applied between wire and plate. If the applied voltage is high enough an electric
(corona) discharge ionizes the gas around the electrodes. Negative ions flow to
the plates and charge the gas-flow particles.
The ionized particles, following the negative electric field created by the
power supply, move to the grounded plates. Particles build up on the collection
plates and form a layer. The layer does not collapse, thanks to electrostatic
pressure (given from layer resistivity, electric field, and current flowing in the
collected layer).
