 ABOUT NTPC
• NTPC was founded in 1975 to
accelerate power development
in the country.
NTPC has installed capacity of
(51635MW).It has-
• 20 coal based(38755MW).
• 7 gas/liquid fuel
based(4017MW).
• 1 hydropower plant (800MW)
• 9 power in joint ventures
(7,216MW).
• 11 Solar based (845MW).
• 1 wind power station (2MW).
In May 2010 , Government of India
granted NTPC status of
‘Maharatna’.
 ABOUT NTPC, BARH

 OPERATION OF THERMALPOWER

PLANT
 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. Bunkering process
2. Unloading process
3. Feeding process
4. Screening process
5. Crushing process
 BOILER
•A boiler or steam generator
is a closed vessel to which
water under pressure, is
converted into steam.

•It is one of the major

components of a thermal
power plant.

•Always designed to absorb

maximum amount of heat
released in the process of
combustion.
 SUPER HEATER

•A device which moves last

traces of moisture.

•It increases efficiency of

plant.

•Steam being dry reduces the

mechanical resistance of
turbine.

•No corrosion at the Turbine

blades.
 TURBINE

•A steam turbine that extracts

thermal energy from
pressurized steam and drives
the generator.

• Turbines used are :-

1. High pressure turbine
2. Intermediate pressure
turbine
3. Low pressure turbine

Combined working of turbines

increases efficiency of plant.
 TURBOGENERATOR

•The Turbo 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 11 kV to 33 kV max.In 500 MW

plant generated voltage is 21kV.

•The generated Voltage is stepped up by connecting Generator

Transformer and is also used for auxilliary purpose.
 GENERATOR C.B.
• Generator Circuit Breakers are very expensive and
critical components of all power plants which
ensure protection of turbo generator.
• This is a SF6 GCB used in 500 MW plant.
 CONDENSER

• Which condenses the steam

at the exhaust of turbine.

• It does it by passing cold

water supplied from water
cooling tower.

• 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.
 ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR

 It removes suspended particulate

matter(dust particles) from smoke
which evolved.
 Electric field is applied in between
its electrodes.
 As dust particles are charged get
deposited on electrodes making
smoke free of dust.
 SWITCHYARD

•A switchyard is a part of an electrical generation,

transmission system.
•It is used to transmit or receive high voltage power.
•Switchyard transform voltage from high to low’ or the
reverse, or perform any of several other important
functions.
 POWER TRANSFORMERS

Transformers are used in NTPC

are:-
• Generator Transformer-It is
combination of three different
transformer 200MVA each.It
converts 21kV to 400kV.It is of
600MVA.
• Station Transformer-It converts
400kV to 11kV,50MVA.
• Unit Auxiliary Transformers-It
converts 11kV to 3.5kV,16MVA.
• Unit Transformers –Converts
11kV to 440v.
• Neutral Grounding
Transformers-Used for neutral
of grounding turbo generator.
PARTS OF POWER TRANSFORMER

 Main Tank
 Conservator
 Buchholz Relay
 Breather
 Breathing Pipe
 Tap Changer
 Radiator
 Bushings
 Magnetic Oil Gauge
 BUS DUCTS
Connection between turbo generator and
transformers in plant is done using bus ducts.
Different types of bus ducts are:-
• Isolated Phase Bus Duct
• Segregated Phase Bus Duct
• Non-Segregated Phase Bus Duct

 EQUIPMENTS IN SWITCHYARD

•OUTDOOR EQUIPMENTS
1. BUS BAR
2. LIGHTENING ARRESTER
3. WAVE TRAP
4. CAPACITIVE VOLTAGE
TRANSFORMER
5. CURRENT TRANSFORMER
6. POTENTIAL TRANSFORMERS

•INDOOR EQUIPMENTS
1. RELAYS
2. CONTROL PANNEL
3. CIRCUIT BREAKERS
 ASH HANDLING PLANT & UTILISATION OF FLYASH

• It is a plant that deals with the storage

of ash.

• Manufacture of cement(by ACC Ltd.

Amethi & Reliance Cement Factory
Raebareli

• Manufacture of bricks/blocks

• 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 power
plants.
 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.
