Thermal Power Plant

inShare1
At present 54.09% or 93918.38 MW (Data Source CEA, as on 31/03/2011) of total electricity production in India is from Coal Based Thermal Power Station. A coal based thermal power plant converts the chemical energy of the coal into electrical energy. This is achieved by raising the steam in the boilers, expanding it through the turbine and coupling the turbines to the generators which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Introductory overview
In a coal based power plant coal is transported from coal mines to the power plant by railway in wagons or in a merry-go-round system. Coal is unloaded from the wagons to a moving underground conveyor belt. This coal from the mines is of no uniform size. So it is taken to the Crusher house and crushed to a size of 20mm. From the crusher house the coal is either stored in dead storage( generally 40 days coal supply) which serves as coal supply in case of coal supply bottleneck or to the live storage(8 hours coal supply) in the raw coal bunker in the boiler house. Raw coal from the raw coal bunker is supplied to the Coal Mills by a Raw Coal Feeder. The Coal Mills or pulverizer pulverizes the coal to 200 mesh size. The powdered coal from the coal mills is carried to the boiler in coal pipes by high pressure hot air. The pulverized coal air mixture is burnt in the boiler in the combustion zone. Generally in modern boilers tangential firing system is used i.e. the coal nozzles/ guns form tangent to a circle. The temperature in fire ball is of the order of 1300 deg.C. The boiler is a water tube boiler hanging from the top. Water is converted to steam in the boiler and steam is separated from water in the boiler Drum. The saturated steam from the boiler drum is taken to the Low Temperature Superheater, Platen Superheater and Final Superheater respectively for superheating. The superheated steam from the final superheater is taken to the High Pressure Steam Turbine (HPT). In the HPT the steam
pressure is utilized to rotate the turbine and the resultant is rotational energy. From the HPT the out coming steam is taken to the Reheater in the boiler to increase its temperature as the steam becomes wet at the HPT outlet. After reheating this steam is taken to the Intermediate Pressure Turbine (IPT) and then to the Low Pressure Turbine (LPT). The outlet of the LPT is sent to the condenser for condensing back to water by a cooling water system. This condensed water is collected in the Hotwell and is again sent to the boiler in a closed cycle. The rotational energy imparted to the turbine by high pressure steam is converted to electrical energy in the Generator.

Principal
Coal based thermal power plant works on the principal of Modified Rankine Cycle.
Components of Coal Fired Thermal Power Station:
Coal Preparation
i)Fuel preparation system: In coal-fired power stations, the raw feed coal from the coal storage area is first crushed into small pieces and then conveyed to the coal feed hoppers at the boilers. The coal is next pulverized into a very fine powder, so that coal will undergo complete combustion during combustion process.
** pulverizer is a mechanical device for the grinding of many different

types of materials. For example, they are used to pulverize coal for combustion in the steam-generating furnaces of fossil fuel power plants. Types of Pulverisers: Ball and Tube mills; Ring and Ball mills; MPS; Ball mill; Demolition. ii)Dryers: they are used in order to remove the excess moisture from coal mainly wetted during transport. As the presence of moisture will result in fall in efficiency due to incomplete combustion and also result in CO emission. iii)Magnetic separators: coal which is brought may contain iron particles. These iron particles may result in wear and tear. The iron particles may include bolts, nuts wire
fish plates etc. so these are unwanted and so are removed with the help of magnetic separators. The coal we finally get after these above process are transferred to the storage site. Purpose of fuel storage is two

Fuel storage is insurance from failure of normal operating supplies to arrive. Storage permits some choice of the date of purchase, allowing the purchaser to take advantage of seasonal market conditions. Storage of coal is primarily a matter of protection against the coal strikes, failure of the transportation system & general coal shortages.
There are two types of storage: 1. Live Storage(boiler room storage): storage from which coal may be withdrawn to supply combustion equipment with little or no remanding is live storage. This storage consists of about 24 to 30 hrs. of coal requirements of the plant and is usually a covered storage in the plant near the boiler furnace. The live storage can be provided with bunkers & coal bins. Bunkers are enough capacity to store the requisite of coal. From bunkers coal is transferred to the boiler grates. 2. Dead storage- stored for future use. Mainly it is for longer period of time, and it is also mandatory to keep a backup of fuel for specified amount of days depending on the reputation of the company and its connectivity.There are many forms of storage some of which are 1. Stacking the coal in heaps over available open ground areas. 2. As in (I). But placed under cover or alternatively in bunkers. 3. Allocating special areas & surrounding these with high reinforced concerted retaking walls.
Boiler and auxiliaries
A Boiler or steam generator essentially is a container into which water can be fed and steam can be taken out at desired pressure, temperature and flow. This calls for application of heat on the container. For that the boiler should have a facility to burn a fuel and release the heat. The functions of a boiler thus can be stated as:1. To convert chemical energy of the fuel into heat energy 2. To transfer this heat energy to water for evaporation as well to steam for superheating. The basic components of Boiler are: 1. Furnace and Burners 2. Steam and Superheating
a. Low temperature superheater b. Platen superheater c. Final superheater
Economiser
It is located below the LPSH in the boiler and above pre heater. It is there to improve the efficiency of boiler by extracting heat from flue gases to heat water and send it to boiler drum. Advantages of Economiser include 1) Fuel economy: used to save fuel and increase overall efficiency of boiler plant. 2) Reducing size of boiler: as the feed water is preheated in the economiser and enter boiler tube at elevated temperature. The heat transfer area required for evaporation reduced considerably.
Air Preheater
The heat carried out with the flue gases coming out of economiser are further utilized for preheating the air before supplying to the combustion chamber. It is a necessary equipment for supply of hot air for drying the coal in pulverized fuel systems to facilitate grinding and satisfactory combustion of fuel in the furnace
Reheater
Power plant furnaces may have a reheater section containing tubes heated by hot flue gases outside the tubes. Exhaust steam from the high pressure turbine is rerouted to go inside the reheater tubes to pickup more energy to go drive intermediate or lower pressure turbines.
Steam turbines
Steam turbines have been used predominantly as prime mover in all thermal power stations. The steam turbines are mainly divided into two groups: 1. Impulse turbine 2. Impulse-reaction turbine The turbine generator consists of a series of steam turbines interconnected to each other and a generator on a common shaft. There is a high pressure turbine at one end, followed by an intermediate pressure turbine, two low pressure turbines, and the generator. The steam at high temperature (536 c to 540 c) and pressure (140 to 170 kg/cm2) is expanded in the turbine.
Condenser
The condenser condenses the steam from the exhaust of the turbine into liquid to allow it to be pumped. If the condenser can be made cooler, the pressure of the exhaust steam is reduced and efficiency of the cycle increases. The functions of a condenser are:1) To provide lowest economic heat rejection temperature for steam. 2) To convert exhaust steam to water for reserve thus saving on feed water requirement. 3) To introduce make up water. We normally use surface condenser although there is one direct contact condenser as well. In direct contact type exhaust steam is mixed with directly with D.M cooling water.
Boiler feed pump
Boiler feed pump is a multi stage pump provided for pumping feed water to economiser. BFP is the biggest auxiliary equipment after Boiler and Turbine. It consumes about 4 to 5 % of total electricity generation.
Cooling tower
The cooling tower is a semi-enclosed device for evaporative cooling of water by contact with air. The hot water coming out from the condenser is fed to the tower on the top and allowed to tickle in form of thin sheets or drops. The air flows from bottom of the tower or perpendicular to the direction of water flow and then exhausts to the atmosphere after effective cooling. The cooling towers are of four types: 1. Natural Draft cooling tower 2. Forced Draft cooling tower 3. Induced Draft cooling tower 4. Balanced Draft cooling tower
Fan or draught system
In a boiler it is essential to supply a controlled amount of air to the furnace for effective combustion of fuel and to evacuate hot gases formed in the furnace through the various heat transfer area of the boiler. This can be done by using a chimney or mechanical device such as fans which acts as pump. i) Natural draught
When the required flow of air and flue gas through a boiler can be obtained by the stack (chimney) alone, the system is called natural draught. When the gas within the stack is hot, its specific weight will be less than the cool air outside; therefore the unit pressure at the base of stack resulting from weight of the column of hot gas within the stack will be less than the column of extreme cool air. The difference in the pressure will cause a flow of gas through opening in base of stack. Also the chimney is form of nozzle, so the pressure at top is very small and gases flow from high pressure to low pressure at the top.
ii) Mechanized draught There are 3 types of mechanized draught systems 1) 2) 3) Forced draught system Induced draught system Balanced draught system
Forced draught: In this system a fan called Forced draught fan is installed at the inlet of the boiler. This fan forces the atmospheric air through the boiler furnace and pushes out the hot gases from the furnace through superheater, reheater, economiser and air heater to stacks. Induced draught: Here a fan called ID fan is provided at the outlet of boiler, that is, just before the chimney. This fan sucks hot gases from the furnace through the superheaters, economiser, reheater and discharges gas into the chimney. This results in the furnace pressure lower than atmosphere and affects the flow of air from outside to the furnace. Balanced draught:-In this system both FD fan and ID fan are provided. The FD fan is utilized to draw control quantity of air from atmosphere and force the same into furnace. The ID fan sucks the product of combustion from furnace and discharges into chimney. The point where draught is zero is called balancing point.
Ash handling system
The disposal of ash from a large capacity power station is of same importance as ash is produced in large quantities. Ash handling is a major problem. i) Manual handling: While barrows are used for this. The ash is collected directly through the ash outlet door from the boiler into the container from manually.
ii) Mechanical handling: Mechanical equipment is used for ash disposal, mainly bucket elevator, belt conveyer. Ash generated is 20% in the form of bottom ash and next 80% through flue gases, so called Fly ash and collected in ESP.
iii) Electrostatic precipitator: From air preheater this flue gases (mixed with ash) goes to ESP. The precipitator has plate banks (A-F) which are insulated from each other between which the flue gases are made to pass. The dust particles are ionized and attracted by charged electrodes. The electrodes are maintained at 60KV.Hammering is done to the plates so that fly ash comes down and collect at the bottom. The fly ash is dry form is used in cement manufacture.
Generator
Generator or Alternator is the electrical end of a turbo-generator set. It is generally known as the piece of equipment that converts the mechanical energy of turbine into electricity. The generation of electricity is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
Advantages of coal based thermal Power Plant

They can respond to rapidly changing loads without difficulty A portion of the steam generated can be used as a process steam in different industries Steam engines and turbines can work under 25 % of overload continuously Fuel used is cheaper Cheaper in production cost in comparison with that of diesel power stations
Disadvantages of coal based thermal Power Plant

Maintenance and operating costs are high Long time required for erection and putting into action A large quantity of water is required Great difficulty experienced in coal handling Presence of troubles due to smoke and heat in the plant Unavailability of good quality coal Maximum of heat energy lost Problem of ash removing

#5 written by SUMIT KUMAR 3 months ago Thanks sushil.
#6 written by R K Jain 3 months ago Thermal efficiency of a thermal power plant is the ratio of electrical energy generated to the chemical energy of fuel consumed. For a subcritical plant it is below 42% for a new plant. What a plant is generating is the plant utilization factor. For a supercritical power plant the best thermal efficiency may be around 45-47%.
#7 written by Vaaimai 4 months ago Thanks. But I learnt that efficiency of thermal power plants are around 45% 50%.
o
#8 written by shivanshtyagi 4 months ago That is my bad, yes effieceincy of plant are 45-45% but that is thermal efficiency i.e how much coal energy is converted into the electric power. For thermal power plant there is a factor called Plant load Factor (PLF), so if a plant has installed capacity of 100 and it rums with PLF of 90% it will produce 90MWh of instantaneous power. On an average plf of plants are from 85-90%. Though some plants even run of PLF higher than 100% or say 1.
#9 written by Vaaimai 4 months ago Thanks again. Do you have any idea of efficiency of nuclear power plants? If a 1000 MW nuclear reactor is installed, what will be the power output?
#10 written by Vaaimai 4 months ago What is the thermal efficiency of a thermal power plant? You said that Neyveli Thermal Power Station II is producing 1470 MW of power. Whether it produces such amount of electricity or lesser than that? (say 60 % efficiency means 882 MW)
o
#11 written by shivanshtyagi 4 months ago 1470 is the installed capacity of the plant.Normally thermal power plants run on around 85-90% efficency.
#12 written by naveen ($onu) 5 months ago one of the most apt and brisk synopsys of a thermal power plant i have ever read. the two diagrams at the start of modified rankine cycle and the plant over view are the highlights. Great work sir. you have proved a valid point again that simple logics are more important than unrequired expertise. i would be very impressed if u could also add on super critical technology and once through boilers which use a seperator rather than the conventional circulation type boilers. also some some point missing are gland steam cooler and also a note on water technology. but all together great work.

#22 written by SUMIT KUMAR 1 year ago -The Delhi government is toying with the idea of permanently shutting down the Rajghat power plant close by june this year . The plant was earlier closed during the Commonwealth Games to remove the polluting unit in the heart of the city, and provide to residents a recreational area in its place. -The power station, situated in northeast Delhi, is one of the coal-based power plants of Indraprashta Power Generation Co. Ltd. (IPGCL) and has a generation capacity of 135 MW. -The power plant was commissioned in 1989 and supplied 135 MW. The Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) had been asked to prepare a blueprint for adaptive reuse, and the agency presented its proposal in front of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and other officials on Wednesday. Dikshit has given in-principle approval to the project, which will require several clearances before it can begin. It will now be presented to the DDA and the DUAC. The project will take about 3 to 4 years to be implemented. -Cost of the project is close to Rs 600 crore. It will be a self financing project as power plant equipment will be sold off and also the office space developed inside the plant will be rented out. Rajghat power plant is spread over 46 acre and as per the DSIIDC proposal, 26 acre will be turned into a city forest. The ash pond inside the plant will be enlarged and converted into a waterbody. The soil there is contaminated due to ash depositing here over the years so it would be cleaned before work starts.
-The existing waterbody, which is used by the power plant, will be retained and redeveloped. The plan is to have the forest and the waterbody close to the Salimgarh Fort so that the area can be developed as a tourist spot. The area where coal handling was done will be converted into a garden and the main building of the plant will be converted into office space. We will not touch the outer structure or the envelope of the building. The only changes will be in the interior of the building. Also, demolishing the existing structure will cost more than retrofitting it, said the official. This is the second power plant site that the government is redeveloping retrofitting of the Indraprastha Power plant is already underway. Its equipment has already been auctioned.

THERMAL POWER PLANT LAYOUT

Layout of Thermal Power Plants in India Thermal Power Plants are steam driven power plants that convert the coal and other fuel energy to thermal e
Systems and Functions of Thermal Power Plant Boilers

In a thermal power plant, the energy stored in fuels such as coal, natural gas, and fuel oil is sequentially converted into electrical energy. A thermal power plant boiler triggers the first action towards the production of electricity and so is the most important part of a thermal power plant. A thermal power plant boiler has two functions namely the Combustion System and the Water and St Information on thermal power plants in India which are important to the power sector in India.
Power generation in India depends on various sources such as thermal power, wind power, solar power, hydropower and biogas energy. Thermal power plants in India located in various states supply the majority of power required for the country. Thermal power plants function on different types of fuels and the operation of a thermal power plant depends on the kind of fuel used. Oil, coal and gas are the major fuels used to operate thermal power plants in India. The national and regional level distributions of power from the thermal power plants in India are done through the power grid network. The steam driven thermal power plants in India generally works on coal. The power sector in India is growing since 1950 though there is a gap between the need and supply. Plans for new thermal power plants are in the pipeline to meet the demands and achieve the power generation target. Thermal power plants in India generate electricity from heat energy through the process called Rankine Cycle. The process involves burning coal, gas or oil depending on the fuel. This produce steam of high pressure which rotaries the turbine when sent through it. The turbine runs a generator, producing electricity at the power plants. A thermal power plant converts the chemical energy of fossil fuels like natural gas, fuel oil and coal into thermal energy, then to mechanical energy and finally electrical energy. The electrical energy produced at the thermal power plants in India plays a large role in the industrial sector of the country There are almost hundred coal fuel operated thermal power plants in India. Most of these thermal power plants in India are run by NTPC and other state owned firms. In addition, there are private owned thermal power plants also. India is rich in coal reserves, which meet the fuel demands of the thermal power plants in India. Major Thermal Power Plants in India
Super thermal power plants in India are the solutions the government of India found to overcome the power deficit faced by the country during a period. Maharastra stands first in production of thermal power in India and NTPC leads in the thermal power generating sector with total capacity of 24,395 MW. Maharastra has plenty of coal mines encouraging the inception of coal operated thermal power plants. The entire super thermal power plants in India are coal run. Gujarat with many prominent power plants stands second in the power production sector of India. A number of efficient thermal power plants in India are located in Rajasthan, a state that does not face deficit currently. The state has atomic and thermal power stations and is one of the three states in India that has met power generation target. Kota Super Thermal Power Plant in Rajasthan is the first coal based thermal power plant of the state. This power plant, along with Suratgarh Super Thermal Power Plant are two of the high efficient thermal power plants in India. Chhabra Thermal Power Plant is an important source of electricity in the state. While all other thermal power plants are coal based the Giral Thermal Power Plant in Rajasthan is lignite fired one. The Ramagundam Power Plant located in Andhra Pradesh is among the largest thermal power plants in India. This coal based power plant also facilitated the power requirements of other states such as Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Goa, Karnataka and Pondicherry.
Korba in Chhattisgarh is called the power capital of the country. The state is blessed with ample coal resources and the Korba Thermal Power Station located here is one of the biggest thermal power plants in India. Orissa is another state in India with huge cache of coal which boosts power sector of the state. The Talcher Super Thermal Power Plant in Orissa is the second biggest thermal power plant in India. Madhya Pradesh owns the largest thermal power plant in India known as Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Station. This coal run thermal power plant takes care of the majority of the power needs of the state. Many major thermal power plants in India are located in the UP. Anpara Thermal Power Station in UP is the tallest power station in the state. The Patratu Thermal Power Station in Bihar is an Indo-Russian joint venture and Barauni Thermal Power Station is one of the biggest in the state, which has plenty of thermal power stations to its credit. Haryana has the credit of being the first state in India to supply power to its villages. The state has many coal fired thermal power plants and many projects are in the offing. West Bengal has plenty of coal mines and the state supply coals to other needy states. Coal from the mines of West Bengal powers the thermal power plants in India. Punjab has many major thermal power plants and Guru Hargobind Thermal Plant with 2 units, is the smallest thermal power plant in the state. While Tamilnadu has four major thermal power plants like North Chennai Thermal Power Plant, Ennore Thermal Power Plant, Mettur Thermal Power Plant and Tuticorin Thermal power Plant, Kerala has one major thermal power plant. Assam with rich coal resources is home to many defunct thermal power plants in India. Some of the functioning thermal power plants of the state take care of the power requirements of the state. Thermal Power Plant Operators
The thermal power plants in India are mostly state run, though private and private public partnership projects also exist. NTPC is the major operator of thermal power plants in India. NTPC owns many major thermal power plants in India. In AP, APGENCO, APGPCOR and NTPC run thermal power stations whereas in Maharashtra MSEB, BSES and TATA own many thermal power stations. NTPC also owns thermal power stations in India located in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
