•Aim of the training:-

 Generally the aim of the any industrial training is to

get the practical knowledge about particular field
and to take the industrial experience.
 By the training one should know the real aspects
of the technology and to know how the
applications actually used in industry.
 My aim for the training is to know about how
technology is utilized and how it is become more
useful to mankind.

•Company profile:-

 Gandhinagar thermal power station is one of the

most leading power station in Gujarat.It has total
generating capacity of 870 MW.

 The main vision of the company is to To become

one of the most efficient power generating
companies globally & being ethically & socially
responsive.

 I choose this company for training because it is

one of the most prestigious industry in the power
sectors of Gujarat.

•INTRODUCTION:-

 A thermal power station is a power plant in which

the prime mover is steam driven. Water is heated, turns
into steam and spins a steam turbine which either drives
an electrical generator .

 After it passes through the turbine, the steam
is condensed in a condenser and recycled to where it was
heated ; this is known as a rankine cycle.

 The rest of the energy must leave the plant in the form of
heat. This waste heat can go through a condenser and be
disposed of with cooling water or in cooling towers.

STEAM AND WATER CYCLE

•STEAM AND WATER CYCLE

 Feed water from the drum the water goes to the down comers and
rises in boiler tubes.

 This superheated steam which has temperature of 540 0c & pressure

of 139 Kg/cm 2 is used to drive the H.P. turbine.

 H.P. turbine has a temperature of 365 0C and a pressure of 32

Kg/cm2 enters the re-heater through where its temperature is
increased to 5400C keeping the pressure constant.

 The steam goes to the M.P. turbine here some amount of the steam
is extracted and sent to H.P. heaters. And the remaining amount of
steam is sent to low pressure turbine.
 L.P. turbine some amount of steam is given to low pressure heater
& most of the part is given to condensers. Where steam condenses
to water

•COAL CYCLE

 The coal from the coal yard is crushed sent by conveyer belts to
coal bunkers and then pulveriser.
 Primary air picks this coal and takes it to the furnace where it is
combusted.
 This coal with help of the secondary air burns completely.
 For effective burning the coal is crushed to increase its surface
area By increasing surface area of coal we can get more efficient
combustion which is help us to increase efficiency.
 For pulverising of coal bowl mills are used which is shown
below.

AIR AND ASH CYCLE
 Primary air fan sucks air from
the atmosphere which is heated
in the air preheater.
 This air picks coal from the
pulveriser and takes to the
furnace.
 Forced draught fan sucks air
from the atmosphere and this is
supplied as secondary air into
the furnace for complete
combustion.
 I.D. Fan suck flue gas from ESP
and discharge into atmosphere
through chimeny.

COOLING WATER CYCLE

14
COOLING WATER SYSTEM
 Steam falls on the condenser from
the top and covers the tubes from
which water is flowing.
 The water enters the condenser at
temp of 30 0C and leaves at 400C the
amount of water required is 18000
TPH the condensate which is
produced gets collected in the hot
well.
 The heat is lost by the water to the
air in the cooling tower by
convection.
 The water coming out of the all the
places go back to the cooling tower
for cooling purpose. Some amount
of the water is lost due to
evaporation in the cooling tower.
This make up water is taken from
D.M. Plant.

CONDENSER
 Necessity:-
 Improves the efficiency.
 Decreasing the exhaust
pressure of the steam
Below atmosphere.
 Provide a source of
good pure feedwater
 reduces the cost of power
 generation.
 increases enthalpy drop by
vacuum so efficiency
increases.
 pure feed water provides to
boiler so salt deposition in
the
boiler is prevented.

16
ASH HANDLING SYSTEM
 Bottom ash
The water impounded bottom ash hopper receives the
bottom ash from furnace where it is stored and
periodiocally discharged to the clinker grinder.
 Fly ash System

The fly ash is collected by the ESP and its below each
hopper there is a material handling valve.

Ash Handling System
 A 200 MW capacity power plant using Indians Coals produces
as a large as 60000 tons of ash per annum.
 Power plant of 200MW capacity requires 160 hectares area
during its life time it the ashes produced are dumped at the site
of the plant.
 The ashes should be discharges and dumped at a sufficient
distance form the power plant because of the following
reasons.
(1) The ash is dusty, therefore irritating and annoying to handle.
(2) It is sufficiently hot when it comes out of the boiler furnace
(3) It produces poisonous gases and corrosive acids when mixed
with water.
