The purpose of boiler is converted to steam energy. The conversion of steam can be
done with the help of coal and water. From kinnerasani reservoir, the water will not directly
fed to boiler because of occurance of the corrosion. So, the water is feed to through the
clarifier. In clarifier, the alum is added to remove the dust particles. Later, the water is given to
coagulate tank which is in DM plant. This plant is used to remove the ions in water. Through
the feedwater pump water with high amount of temperature is fed into the boiler. The water
tube boilers are generally with high temperature in order to produce steam. With the help of
water and coal in boiler used to produce steam in high temperature. Hence, this process we
observed in K.T.P.S. Whatever the ash will remain in the boiler is fed into the ash handling
plant. The steam with high temperature is fed into the impulse turbine. This turbine consists
platelets to converts steam into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is fed to the
alternator through shaft. This alternator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
This electrical energy is given to the switch yard which consists of equipments in order to step-
up, step- down based on the consumer’s need. The equipments in switch yard are current
transformer, power transformer, bus bars, feeders, wave traps, lightening arresters. Hence this
matter deals with more about “An overview of Kothagudem Thermal Power Station (O&M),
A- stage”.
