2. Coal Handling System Equipment : 6 Wagon Tripler Conveyor Belt Pulleys Magnetic separator Crushing house Vibrating screen Pulverized coal Storage of coal The function of coal handling plant is automatic feeding of coal to the boiler A thermal power plant burns enormous amounts of coal. In NTPC Kahalgaon 2340MW Plant may require around 23400 tons of coal daily. Step in coal handling plant:

Why Coal? Coal 55% Gas 10% Diesel 1% Hydel 26% RES 5% Nuclear 3% Share of Coal in Power Generation Advantages of Coal Fuel Abundantly available in India Low cost Technology for Power Generation well developed. Easy to handle, transport, store and use India’s Coal Reserves are estimated to be 206 billion tones . Present consumption is about 450 million tones . Cost of coal for producing 1 unit of electricity is Rs 0.75. Cost of Gas for producing 1 unit of electricity is Rs 1.20. 8
3. Ash Handling System: WHAT IS ASH ? Ash is the collection of residuals producing after the combustion of coal at constant weight under standard conditions. Ash is oxidized form of the mineral matters present in coal. Typical ash composition : SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , CaO, MgO etc . WHY ASH HANDLING ? Ash content of Indian coal used in power station is about 30 to 40 %. A typical 2000 MW station produce around 9000T to 12000T of ash per day. This huge amount of ash needs to be disposed off continuously. Necessary care to be taken for preventing pollution. 9
Bottom ash can be collected at furnace bottom as Wet or Dry form. Bottom ash is the heavier portion of coal ash that settles on the ground in the boiler. Bottom ash is part of the non-combustible residue of combustion in a furnace or incinerator . Approximately 80% of bottom ash consist overall of coal ash content. 1. Bottom Ash: 10
2. Fly Ash: Fly ash, also known as “pulverized fuel ash”. Ash generated in the ESP which got carried out with the flue gas is generally known as fly ash. It consist of air preheater ash and economizer ash. Approximately 20 % of fly ash consist overall of coal ash content. FA is collected from Air heater hopper, Eco hopper and ESP hopper. Use of ash: In concrete production In cement production In stabilization of soft soils In bricks production Road construction Other applications include cosmetics, toothpaste, ceiling tiles, bowling balls , flotation devices, PVC pipe, picture frames, doors, window frames, park benches railroad ties. 11
4. Boiler and its auxiliaries: Boiler:- Boiler is a long column where coal is fired to produce heat and to convert water into superheated steam . In NTPC – Kahalgaon, the height of the boiler is 90 meter . Type of boiler used in NTPC SSTPS in Stage-I and II are Water tube boilers . Maximum Temperature and pressure of main steam for stage -1 is 540ºc and 140 bar respectively. Maximum Temperature and pressure of main steam for stage -2 is 545ºc and 170 bar respectively. MAIN PART OF BOILER: Economizer 4. super-heater Deaerator 5. Re-heater Furnace 6. Different type of fan 13

5. Turbine and its auxiliaries: A steam turbine is a rotating device which converts thermal energy into mechanical energy . In NTPC Kahalgaon LMZ (Russia) type steam turbine is used. There are 3 types of Turbines used in Thermal Power Plants : High pressure turbine (HP Turbine) Intermediate pressure turbine (IP Turbine) Low pressure turbine (LP Turbine) Turbine blade is air foil shape. TURBINE :- 15
1. High Pressure Turbine: 16 1.HIGH PRESSURE TURBINE :- Single Flow Cylinder Double Casing Thermal expansion up to 16mm
3. Low Pressure Turbine: 18 3.LOW PRESSURE TURBINE:- Largest Turbine Pressure is Very Less Three Shell Design Double Flow All Casings Axially Split Exhaust Hood Spray Arrangement 2 Free Standing Blades in the end

Water Treatment Plant/DM plant: Why water treatment? Raw water contains many dissolved minerals and organic materials. For removal of total solids such as Ca , Mg ,Na ,Cl , Alkalinity , silica etc. At high temperature certain minerals left scaling on the tube metal of the boiler and cause permanent damage. Some dissolved minerals leads to corrosion of tube metals. At high pressure and temperature an element, silica can be carried away with steam causing damage to turbine low pressure stage. The performance and life expectancy of the station greatly depends on water chemistry compliance. 6. Off-Site Department : Water Treatment (DM Plant) Cooling Tower Steps of treatment process: Aeration of raw water Adding chemicals for bacteria removal Adding chemicals for sedimentation of suspended particles Flocculation Filtration Ion Exchange process 20
2. Cooling Tower: A cooling tower is a heat rejection device that rejects waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature . 21
7. Electric Generator and its auxiliaries: A turbo generator is the combination of a turbine directly connected to an electric generator for the generation of electric power. An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. It is based upon the principle of electromagnetic induction. Turbogenerator: Cooling of Generator : Hydrogen cooling: - Rotor core and Rotor winding . DM Water cooling:- Stator core and Stator winding . Excitation System: Maintain the reactive power. Wear and Tear problem will be minimize. In NTPC Kahalgaon brushless excitation is used. 22

8. Electric Transformer: A transformer is a device that transfer electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another circuit through the medium Of magnetic field without change in frequency. WORKING PRINCIPLE: Definition: It works on FARADAY’S LAW OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION ( self or mutual induction depending on the type of transformer). Transformer used in NTPC Kahalgaon: Generator transformer Station transformer Unit Auxiliary transformer (UAT ) Other Electric transformer 24

10. Control and Instrumentation Department: The main functions of the C&I dept. at NTPC Kahalgaon are: 1. Measurement and display of various parameters. 2 . To control the various parameters by Automatic feedback controlling which involves the taking of decision based on inputs from measurements by the processor. 3. Protection of various equipment’s (pumps, generators etc.) and workers from hazards by automatically tripping a cycle when hazardous conditions are reached. 4. Alarm generation in case of a mechanical or an electrical failure. 27
