Industrial training in

DVC Maithon Hydel

project

All about
DVC (Damodar Valley
Corporation)is a legacy to
DVC
the people of India, emerged as a culmination of
attempts made over a whole century to control
the wild and erratic Damodar river. The river
spans over an area of 24,235 km2 covering the
states of Jharkhand (Dhanbad, Bokaro,
Hazaribagh, Koderma, Giridih, Chhatra, Palamau,
Rachi, Lohardaga and Doomka) & West Bengal
(Burdwan , Hooghly, Howrah, Bankura and
Purulia).

Objectives:
The objectives at the time of its inceptions are:
Flood control
Promotion and operation of schemes for irrigation
Water supply for industrial and domestic use
Navigation and drainage
Generation, transmission and distribution of electrical
energy
Promotion of forestation and control of soil erosion in
valley area
Promotion of public health,
agriculture,industrial,economic and general well-being
in Damodar Valley

Maithon Hydel
Power station

 Maithon Hydel Power Station is located on the river

Barakar 12.9 km above its confluence with the Damodar
near the border of Dhanbad and Burdwan districts of the
state of Jharkhand and West Bengal respectively. The unique
feature of this hydal power station is that it is located
underground in the left bank of the river and is the first of its
kind in India. The Power station has a total generating
capacity of 60 MW with 3 units of 20 MW each.

MEJIA THERMAL
POWER STATION

ejia Thermal Power Statio

(MTPS)

The MTPS under the DVC is the second largest

thermal plant in West Bengal.
It has the capacity of 2340 MW with 4 units of
210 MW each, 2 units of 250 MW each & 2
units of 500 MW each.
With the introduction of another two units of
500 MW that is in construction it will be the
largest in West Bengal.

General layout of
Thermal Power Station

Coal handling plant

The function of coal handling plant is automatic
feeding of coal to the boiler furnace.
A 200MW plant may require around 2000 tonnes
of coal daily

Ash handling plant

The Ash handling System tactically manages
the ash output of the power station in such
a way as to support the monetary
requirements of the plant as well as proper
disposal in ash ponds.

Boilers
Boiler is an enclosed vessel in which water is
heated and circulated until the water is turned
in to steam at the required pressure
Types of boilers are:
Fire tube boilers
Water tube boilers
Reheaters
Superheaters

Forced draft fan(FD)

and
ID fan:
Induced
Draft(ID)fan
The ID fan
draws gases out
of the boiler after
passing through the economiser and air
preheaters.

FD fan

The FD fan draws air into the boiler after

preheating it to fulfill the oxygen requirements
of the boiler.

ctrostatic precipitator(ES
High voltage electrodes attract the ash and flue
gas particles.
At regular intervals, the electrodes are struck
with hammers to throw off the ash particles.
This is used to clean up the flue gas or smoke
sent up the chimney.

Economizer
The economizer draws the heat out of the flue
gas and uses it for heating the feed water
It is placed in the passage of flue gases in
between the exit from the boiler and the entry
to the chimney.
It saves the coal combustion, increases steam
rate and improves boiler efficiency.

Cooling Towers
The condensate (water) formed in the condenser
after condensation is initially at high temperature.
This hot water is passed to cooling towers.
It is a tower- or building-like device in which
atmospheric air (the heat receiver) circulates in
direct or indirect contact with warmer water (the
heat source) and the water is thereby cooled.
Types Of Cooling Tower Wet cooling tower
Dry cooling tower

Electric Substation

What is a Substation?
Asubstationis a part of an electricalgeneration,
transmission, anddistributionsystem. Substations
transformvoltagefrom high to low, or the reverse,
or perform any of several other important
functions. Between the generating station and
consumer, electric power may flow through several
substations at different voltage levels.
Substations may be owned and operated by an
electrical utility, or may be owned by a large
industrial or commercial customer. Generally
substations are unattended, relying onSCADAfor
remote supervision and control.
