A JOINT VENTURE OF NTPC and SAIL

1
 NTPC Ltd formed a joint venture with SAIL on
50:50 basis in March, 2001 in the name NTPC-SAIL
Power Company Private Limited (NSPCL). NSPCL took
over captive power plant-II located at Durgapur Steel
Plant (2X60 MW) and Rourkela Steel Plant (2X60 MW)
from SAIL.

2
To supply power to Bhilai, Durgapur and Rourkela Steel Plants of
Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL) on captive basis from its coal
based captive power plants –II at Bhilai (Chhattisgarh) 2X30 MW +
1X14 MW, Durgapur (West Bengal) 2X60 MW and Rourkela
(Orissa) 2X60 MW. To meet additional captive power requirement
of Bhilai Steel Plant and other units of SAIL, NSPCL commissioned
Bhilai CPP-II Expansion Power Project (2X250MW) during 2008-
09 and commercialized the units during 2009-10. From the
expansion plant, NSPCL is supplying power to the beneficiaries
viz. Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli , Union Territory of
Daman & Diu, Chhattisgarh and Bhilai Steel Plant / SAIL in the
western region.

 The difference between atmospheric pressure
and the pressure existing in the furnace or flue
gas passage of a boiler is termed as draft.

There are 2 types of draft fans used in thermal

plants:-

1. Induced draft
2. Forced draft

7
Placed at the outlet of boiler

Exhausts all gaseous combustion products or

flue gas by creating negative pressure

More susceptible to erosion and corrosion

Supply the air necessary for combustion
pushing the air through combustion chamber
to the furnace

Most efficient fans in power plants

These are centrifugal fans, uses variable pitch

axial fans

11
Definition: An enclosed vessel where heating
of fuel or gas takes place

Place where differential heating takes place

To maximize efficiency water tubes are

constructed

Water tubes absorb the heat

A pressure of
140kg/cm2 can be
obtained easily.

Increases boiler
efficiency

16
Definition: It is a water to steam separator

Water entering into the drum has Temp.

about 3500 C and pressure about170kg/cm2

It is placed 60m high

It includes natural recirculation process

If pressure >190kg/ cm2 ,then forced

recirculation is done

 Ash is the residue remaining after the coal is
incinerated
SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO , MgO are the
components in ash
Ash generated in power plant is about 30-40% of
total coal consumption
2 type of ashes:
1. Fly Ash -Around 80% is the value of fly ash
generated
2. Bottom ash -Bottom ash is 20% of the ash
generated in coal based power stations.

19
Bottom Ash Handling System: Bottom ash
resulting from the combustion of coal in the
boiler

Further the slurry is passed through pipes

Coarse Ash (Economizer Ash) handling System:

Ashes generated in economizer

Fly Ash Handling System: Fly ash is considered to

be collected in ESP Hoppers.

 Turbines form the heart of power plants
Generally to maximize the efficiency, steam
has to be expanded
Work increases in stages
use of HPT,LPT and intermediate turbines
(IPT)- multi stage turbines
HPT and IPT are single flow
turbines(expansion of steam on only 1 side)
having
 LPT is double flow turbine with 8 stages.

Have fixed nozzle that orients the flow into high
speed jets

High kinetic energy, results in shaft rotation

Drop in the pressure from inlet to outlet

increases the expansion rate of steam

Steam velocity increases

There is a loss of energy due to high exit velocity

which is called as carry over velocity

27
A condenser is a device or unit used to
condense a substance from its gaseous to its
liquid state, typically by cooling it.

The latent heat is given up by the substance,

and will transfer to the condenser coolant.

In thermal Power plant we use surface

condenser

28

 Cooling towers are heat removal devices used to transfer process
waste heat to the atmosphere

Classified into two:

1.HVAC cooling tower
2.Industrial cooling tower

HVAC(heating , ventilation &air-conditioning)- HVAC use of a

cooling tower pairs the cooling tower with a water-cooled chiller
or water-cooled condenser.

Industrial Cooling tower- Industrial cooling towers can be used

to remove heat from various sources such as machinery or
heated process material.

The primary use- cooling towers is to remove the heat absorbed

in the circulating cooling water systems used in power plants.

An air preheater absorbs waste heat from flue
gas, then transfers this heat to incoming cold
air.
Two types of air preheaters are used: bisector
(one air stream per air heater) and trisector (
two air streams per air heater).
The trisector incorporates both primary and
secondary air within one housing.
