INTRODUCTION:-

W.T.P.S is the biggest power plant in GUJARAT.

Wanakbori Thermal Power Station is a coal-fired power station in Gujarat, India. It is located on
the bank of Mahi river in Kheda district.
There are 7 Turbo Generator sets each of 210MW out of which first 3 units are equipped with
Russian Turbines and other 4 Units are equipped with German Turbines. Unit no 7 is entirely
Computerised and well advanced. All the above units are of BHEL make.

CONCLUSION:-

After visit at the Wanakbori Thermal Power Station I can say that one can visualize the complex
study of power generation using coal as a fuel, which will help me a lot in future in many field & I can
understand the function of each component in thermal power station, their importance, their arrangement
& precautions that to be used for the safety in the plant.
At last I will only say that I really enjoyed my visit over here and I again want to thank all my
faculties, staff of Wanakbori Thermal Power Station to give me this great pleasure of the training.
