OPERATION OF
THERMALPOWER PLANT

OPERATION MECHANISM

The coal is brought and crushed to powder. This is feed to boiler for
producing heat .
In Boiler the water is converted to steam.
In super heater the moisture content is removed from the steam and
that steam is called super heated steam.
The superheated steam rotates the shaft of the High pressure turbine.
The exhausted steam is sent to preheater and the steam then rotates
the intermediate pressure (IP) turbine.
The steam from the IP Turbine is then feed to low pressure turbine.
The turbine shaft is connected to the Generator, which produces
electric Power.

COAL HANDLING PLANT

The function of coal handling
plant is automatic feeding of
coal to the boiler furnace.
A thermal power plant burns
enormous amounts of coal.
A 200MW plant may require
around 2000 tons of coal daily
following are the process of
plant-:
1. Unloading process
2. Feeding process
3. Screening process
4. Crushing process
5. Stacking process
6. Reclaiming process
7. Bunkering process

TURBINE
A steam turbine converts heat

energy of steam into mechanical

energy and drives the generator.
It uses the principle that steam
when issuing from a small
opening attains a high velocity.

This velocity attained during

expansion depends on the initial

and final heat content of the
steam.

This difference b/w initial and

final heat content represents the

heat energy converted into
kinetic energy.

These are of two types :1. Impulse turbine

GENERATOR

The Synchronus Generator is used to generate power by

connecting the shaft of the Turbine to the shaft of the generator

which create the magnetic flux producing Emf.

The generated voltage will generally 33 KV to 11 KV max.

the generated Voltage is stepped up by connecting Step up
transformer and is also used for auxilliary purpose.

CONDENSER
Which condenses the
steam at the exhaust of
turbine.

It creates a very low

pressure at the exhaust of
turbine, this helps in
converting heat energy of
steam into mechanical
energy in the prime mover.

The condensed steam can

be used as feed water to the
boiler.

COOLING TOWER

Remove heat from the water

discharged from the condenser
so that the water can be
discharged to the river or re
circulated and reused.

Air can be circulated in the

cooling towers through natural
draft and mechanical draft.

SWITCHYARD

A switchyard is a part of an
electrical generation,
transmission system.

Switchyard transform
voltage from high to low or
the reverse, or perform any
of several other important
functions

ASH HANDLING PLANT

The percentage of ash in coal

varies
from 5% in good quality coal to
about
40% in poor quality coal Power
plants generally use poor quality
of coal .

thus amount of ash produced by

it is pretty large .

A modern 2000MW plant

produces
about 5000 tons of ash daily.

The stations use some conveyor

arrangement to carry ash to
dump

UTILISATION OF SECONDARY
RAW MATERIAL (ASH)

Construction of embankments and fills

Construction of road in sub-base

Manufacture of cement

Manufacture of bricks/blocks

Filling as flow able fill material

Agriculture as soil amendment/source of essential plant

nutrients

ADVANTAGES
The fuel used is quite cheap.
Less initial cost as compared to other generating
plants.

It can be installed at any place irrespective of the

existence of coal.

The coal can be easily transported to the site

It require less space as compared to Hydro power
plants.

Cost of generation is less than that of diesel

DISADVANTAGES

It pollutes the atmosphere due to production of large

amount of smoke and fumes.

It is costlier in running cost as compared to Hydro

electric plants.

Maintenance cost is more.
