1.0 INTRODUCTION

Tamilnadu Generation and Distribution Corporation owns the proposed

Greenfield 1600 MW (2 units of 800 MW each) Coal Based Thermal Power
Station. The Project Site is located in Uppur, Valamavoor and Thiruppalaikudi
villages of Thiruvadanai Taluk, Ramanathapuram District.

1.1 Site Location:

The proposed site for main power plant is located at Uppur in

Ramanathpuram District of Tamil Nadu. The nearest Railway station is
Thiruppalaikudi Railway Station, 3Kms from Site ECR Connecting
Ramanathapuram and Pattukottai is the nearest road access. The nearest
airport is at Madurai at a distance of 140 km. The nearest port is Tuticorin
located at a distance of 130 km. exact plot coordinates shall be furnished
along with the NTP.

1.2 ABOUT PROJECT:

The proposed 2 x 800 MW Super-Critical Power Project consists of coal fired
steam generator connected to a reheat type steam turbine generator along
with all the required auxiliaries. Circulating cooling water system is envisaged
for condenser cooling. The proposed BOP of the plant will be supplied,
erected and commissioned on EPC basis by M/s Reliance Infrastructure
Limited.
The Project information is attached in Annexure-I

1.2.1 ACCESS TO SITE

Site is well connected and located along ECR Connecting Ramanathapuram

and Pattukottai. Site is well connected by rail also.

1.2.2 PLANT RATING, CAPACITY, AVAILABILITY & PLF

 TERMS OF REFERENCE UPPUR TPP
(2 x 800 MW)

Each of the two units shall have a Turbine maximum continuous rating
(TMCR) of 800 MW at generator terminals based on the following site
conditions.
 Ambient air temperature
 Condenser cooling water inlet temperature of 33°C and 9°C
 Temperature rise across the condenser.
 Generator power factor of 0.85.
 Fuel specification as given elsewhere.
 Design temperature for electrical equipment is 50°C.
The VWO capacity of the steam turbine shall not be less than 105% of
TMCR flow at rated parameters. Boiler maximum Continuous Rating
(BMCR) will be established to match the steam flow at VWO conditions, but
BMCR flow shall not less than 108% of TMCR flow. The capacity of the unit
is selected so as to deliver the rated output even after ageing that will occur
between overhauls, as a result of deposition of salts in turbine blades, wear
and tear etc. The plant load factor (PLF) being considered is 85%.

1.2.3 SOURCE
The raw water for the proposed project shall be from Bay of Bengal.

1.2.4 CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SEA WATER

The detailed chemical analysis of sea water is attached in Annexure-II
