OVERVIEW OF POWER PLANT
The Uran power plant was built from 1982 until 1986 for peak load and mediun load
operation. It initially comprised four 60 MW gas turbine and four 108 MW gas turbine. Four
of the 108 MW gas turbine installed during this period were financed out of FC funds. The
power plant were designed in a such way that it could be upgraded later on to an integrated
gas and steam turbine plant for minimum load operation. The provision of more power was
assured through the expansion of the 220KV switchboard and corresponding overhead lines.
Simultaneously the grid in the western region was built up with the help of funds from the
World Bank. When gas delivery totaling 3 million cubic meters per day (MMCMD) were
promised to the Indian government in 1987,the MSEB decided to combine the four 108 MW
gas turbine with waste heat boiler and two turbogenerator in order to use the steam being
produced.This formed the basis for FC project ‘Steam Turbines with waste heat boiler’ that
was initiated in 1994 there was an urgent need to increase their economic life via renewal
measure in order to have another 100,000 equivalent hours of operation.
These measures were implemented under the follw-up project “Rehabilitation of Four
108MW Gas turbines”

4. GAS TURBINE-
Gas turbine is a prime mover which converts chemical energy into mechanical energy
by the expansion of gas. In GTPS a 4-stage gas turbine is used. Each stage consist of a
pair of stator and rotor. The turbine is connected to the shaft. The bombardment of
products of combustion rotates the turbine and ultimately the shaft.
Gas turbine works on BRAYTON’s CYCLE. It consist of four thermodynamic
processes-
• Isentropic compression-This is achieved with the help of compressor.
• Isobaric combustion-Heat is added at constant in combustion chamber .
• Isentropic expansion-This is achieved with the help of turbine and torque is
generated.
• Isobaric heat rejection-Heat is rejected via boiler or bypass chimney.

5. GENERATOR
It is a device which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy for use in an
external circuit.The source of mechanical energy vary widely from a handcrank to a
turbine. In this plant the generator is having two poles.This generator can also be used
as motor to drive the shaft in case of rolling.
PARTS-
• ROTOR-Rotating part
• STATOR-Stationary part
• ARMATURE-The power producing component of an electrical machine.The
armature winding generate the electric current.The armature can be on either
the rotor or the stator.

field can be provided by either electro magnets or permanat magnets mounted
on either the rotor or the stator.

• Manufacturer-SIEMENS AEG.
• Rating-10.5KV/8284Amp. In which synchronous breaker 10.5KV
6. WASTE HEAT RECOVERY PLANT(WHRP)-
Many power plant use this process for increasing the overall efficiency.Using this
system high temperature waste heat of waste gas ,gas turbine and this heat used in
boiler and to produce HP &LP steam.

SUPERHEATER:
The main function it is to raise the temp. of steam from the evaporator. Here in
case of HP super heater temp. is raised to 500 c & in LP super heater to 210 c.
This steam is then supplied to steam turbine for further generation.
EVAPORATOR:
It is used to change the phase of water to steam. The BCP’s are used to
facilitate the forced circulation of water into evaporator. This steam-water
mixture is collected in HP or LP drum where steam takes the upper half and
water lower one.
ECONOMISER:
As the name suggest it is used for increase the overall efficiency of boiler by
increasing the heat exchange. In GTPS only HP economiser is used.

§ STEAM TURBINE:
It is a device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to
do mechanical work on rotating shaft. In GTPS while starting of turbine first
turbine casing is heated then rotor is heated. Expansion of stator and rotor is
observed and with the help of anchor point the turbine is balanced and then the
steam is allowed to pass into the turbine.

used is very expensive. It consist of distribution head where all the steam is
accumulated. Then it is passed through the tubes where it gets condensed into
water. The tubes used are made up of carbon steel and elliptical in shape. The
tubes are having rectangular type fins to increase heat exchange area.
Dephlegmator is used for condensing the inert and non-condensed gases.

TRANSFORMER
A transformer is an electric device that transfers energy between two or more circuit through
electromagnetic induction. A varying current in transformer primery winding creates a
varying magnetic flux in core and varying magnetic field impinging on the secondary
winding.This varying magnetic field at the secondary induces a varying Elecromotive force
(EMF) or voltage in secondary winding.Making use of Faraday’s Law in conjuction with
high magnetic permeability core properties,transformer can thus be designed to efficiently
changes AC voltage from one voltage level to another.

Initial spinning by Frequency Converter
• Machine is always kept on barring speed (80-100 RPM) to avoid sagging of Shaft due
to self weight.
• We cannot fire fuel gas at barring speed as negligible air flow in CC.
• At least 700 RPM is required to establish sufficient air flow.
• Therefore Initially Generator works as Synchronous motor.
• Supply of controlled frequency (with help of Thyristers) is given to Frequency
Converter to increase the regulated speed slowly.
• At 700 RPM combustion of fuel gas is started in CC.
• From 700 RPM to 2100 RPM, Synchronous Motor power and Fuel Gas power in
combination spin the machine.
• At 2100 RPM Frequency Converter function is with drawn. Generator regain it’s
original role as Generator.
• From 2100 RPM to 3000 RPM Fuel power increase the speed.
• At 3000 RPM machine is synchronized.

FUEL MANAGEMENT
Natural gas is gaseous hydrocarbon consisting mostly of methane with lesser amounts of
natural gas liquids, as well as other gases such as such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen
sulphide and water.
Once captured at producing wells, natural gas is transported via pipeline to gas processing
facilities where the natural gas liquids, carbon dioxide and other trace compounds are
removed.
India is the world’s seventh largest energy producer, accounting for 2.49% of the world’s
total annual energy production. Natural gas has emerged as the most preferred fuel due to its
greater efficiency and cost effectiveness. Natural gas is a scarce resource in India and Govt.
of India plays an important role in its allocation. The natural gas pricing scenario in India is
complex in nature.
