on barauni thermal power station Anish anand geu ABOUT B.T.P.S
Barauni Thermal Power Station is an existing 320
megawatt coal-fired power station owned by Bihar State power generation company limited (BSPGCL). The power station is located at Begusarai district, Bihar, India. Barauni thermal power station in Bihar came into existence in association with the Russian collaboration in the year 1962. coal is supplied from Rajmahal coal field and Urma Pahari tola,Jharkhand. Currently two new units VIII and IX are under construction which will increase the power output by 500MW. The equipments are supplied by BHEL , Bhopal. The electricity generated here is sold to North Bihar Power Holding company Ltd. GENERATION UNITS AT B.T.PS
There are total seven units in B.T.P.S
Two units are currently working producing total o/p of 220 MW. Unit no. V and VII are undergoing renovation and modernization. The capacity of plant will be increased to 500 MW in next 5 years. Thermal power plant A generating station which converts heat energy of coal combustion into electrical energy. Working principle LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY Chemical energy of fuel Heat energy in furnace Heat energy of medium water Kinetic energy of turbine rotor Electromotive force Electricity generation Division of a thermal power plant Coal Handling Plant Water Treatment Plant Fuel and Ash Plant Feed Water and Steam Plant Cooling Water Plant Constituents of thermal power plant
Steam generating equipment
Condenser turbines Cooling towers Electrical equipments Steam generating equipment Boiler Boiler furnace Superheater Economiser Air preheater condenser It condenses steam at exhaust of turbine. It creates very low pressure at the exhaust of turbine which helps in converting heat energy of steam into mechanical energy in prime mover. The condensed steam can be used as feed water to the boiler. turbines It is used as prime mover to generator. Three types of turbine are used : 1.HP turbine 2.IP turbine 3.LP turbine Electrical equipments Generator : To generate electricity Transformer : For required voltage Switch yard : Onward transmission of powers Why coal as a fuel Coal can provide usable energy at a cost of between 12 to 15 % compared to oil and natural gas, and coal prices are relatively stable. Coal is inherently higher polluting and carbon intensive than other energy alternatives. However coal is so inexpensive that one can spend quite a bit on pollution control, and still maintain coals competitive position. Types of water required DEMINERALISED WATER : BOILER SOFTEN WATER : COOLING AND GENERAL SERVICE DRINKING WATER : DOMESTIC PURPOSE UNTREATED WATER : ASH HANDLING,COAL HANDLING AND FIRE FIGHTING observations B.T.P.S has a very good working environment. B.T.P.S is very sincere about cleanliness and hygiene. It has got a Technical training centre with very good learning environment. Staff is excellent and supportive and always ready to help. conclusion It is third largest thermal power plant of Bihar. It generates 210 MW electricity and after completion of extension project it will produce 500 MW electricity. It is major contributor of electricity to 7 districts of north Bihar. Thank you
