Thermal power station

A thermal power station is a power plant in which the prime mover is steam driven.
Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which either drives an electrical
generator or does some other work, like ship propulsion. After it passes through the turbine, the
steam is condensed in a condenser and recycled to where it was heated; this is known as a
Rankine cycle. The greatest variation in the design of thermal power stations is due to the
different fuel sources. Some prefer to use the term energy center because such facilities convert
forms of heat energy into electrical energy.

Amid sand dunes of area known as Rakh Khanpur, at a distance of 6 km. from
Muzaffargarh City, is located Thermal Power Complex. A few years back nobody perceived that
such a desert would yield green trees, more than 1,500 families would be residing here and a
Power Station will turn into a huge Power Complex. Now, with the day and night efforts of
foreign as well as Pakistani engineers, technicians and workers, the complex has grown to the
realities with three sky-high chimneys, being highest concrete structure in Pakistan and visible
from the bridge of River Chenab, which is flowing to the east of the site at distance of 8 kms. In
September, 1987 contract of supply and erection of a 3x210 MW capacity Thermal Power
Station was signed with M/s. TECHNOPROMEXPORT of ex-USSR, Moscow, and 1,134 acres
of government land was acquired.
Initially, about 230 acres land for the Power Station and 164 acres for residential colony
was leveled and subsequently construction was started. Later on contracts with Chinese firm,
M/s. CMEC, were signed for three units in two stages - Two Units each of 210 MW and one unit
of 320 MW. In this way a power complex emerged which is going to be the biggest of all
Thermal Stations in Pakistan with the possibility of construction of two more units. Presently, the
total generation capability of three phases is envisaged as 1,370 MW.
Phase - 1 (Units 1, 2 & 3):

This phase consists of three steam units each capable of generating 210 MW electricity.
The supplier started delivery of equipment to site in January, 1989, and after pre-assembly of
equipment at Site, erection started in July, 1990. Unit No. 1 was commissioned in September,
1993 and Unit No. 2 in March, 1994.
Main Building:
It contains the turbine hall having a span of 45 meters and dearator bay, 12 meters wide.
The steam turbines which drive generators are of three stages condensing type arranged
transversely to the axis of turbine hall. The operational platform is at elevation 12.6 meters and a
maintenance bay at ground floor near Unit No. 1. The power plant is designed on the block
principle: boiler-turbine-generator-unit transformer. The fuel gas exhaust section of two units is
connected with a 200 meter high stack, outer section of which is a 195-meter high concrete shell.
Combined Auxiliary Building:

The building is connected with the main building and it houses water treatment plant to
produce 100 t/h demineralized water for the replenishment of station losses, hydrogen plant to
provide hydrogen for cooling of generators rotors, maintenance shops, laboratories and central
control room.
Fuel & Oil Facilities:

Fuel oil facilities are constructed for decanting, oil storage, preparation and supply of fuel
to boiler nozzles. It also includes HSD storage as well as oil facilities for reception, storage,
purification and centralized delivery of turbine oil and insulating oil to power plant.
Hydraulic Structures:
The cooling water used in condensers is re-circulated in closed cycle with inducted draft
cooling towers. The water is being cooled for each unit in two cooling towers each consisting of
eight fans. Two cooling towers carry 27,500 Cu m/h circulating water for condensers of one unit.

Startup Boiler:
One startup boiler using diesel oil as fuel with steam output of 50 t/h is provided to meet
steam requirement for initial start of unit as well as a backup of power plant auxiliaries. A
separate stack of 30-meter high has been constructed for it.
Electrical Part:
The electricity generated at 15.75 KV is brought out from Unit transformer at 220 KV
and fed to the National Grid via a switchyard. Power Plant auxiliaries are fed at 6.6 KV.
Phase-II (Units 5 & 6):

It consists of two units of 210 MW each having equipment similar to Phase-I. Turbines
are placed longitudinally in main building. Outdoor boilers exhaust of two units is connected to
one stack
Overview:
There are many different types of power plants including thermal power plants and hydel
power plants. Thermal power plants use fuel such as Gas, HSD, Furnace Oil or nuclear fuel to
produce heat energy that is converted to electrical energy through a series of intermediate
processes. Hydel power plants convert the potential energy of water to electrical power as it
flows from higher to lower elevations.
The "traditional" thermal power plant is the Rankine cycle plant, named after the man who
invented the cycle. A power plant cycle is a series of processes in which a fluid, generally
water/steam, is used to convert heat energy to mechanical energy. The Rankine cycle in its
simplest form consists of a boiler, a turbine, a condenser, and a boiler feed pump. Early plants
had thermal efficiencies of approximately 25% to 30%. Only 25% to 30% of the heat energy in
the fuel burned in these plants was converted to electrical energy. The rest was lost in various
ways.
The Rankine cycle has been refined considerably over the years and made more efficient
by the addition of components like Economizer, Feed water heaters, Super heaters and Re-
heaters. The efficiency of the Rankine cycle has also been improved by increasing the pressure
and temperature of the cycle. The laws of thermodynamics and considerations such as material
limitations have prevented any significant improvement since then. Power plants commonly use
heat rate to measure efficiency.

Boiler
The boiler is the main part of any thermal power plant. It converts the fuel energy into
steam energy. The fuel may be furnace oil, diesel oil, natural gas or coal. The boilers may be
fired from the multiple fuels.
The type of boiler used in the TPS phase-II is “water tube type”.
Water Tube Boilers:

In watertube boilers, boiler water passes through the tubes while the exhaust gases remain
in the shell side, passing over the tube surfaces. Since tubes can typically withstand higher
internal pressure than the large chamber shell in a firetube, watertube boilers are used where high
steam pressures (as high as 3,000 psi) are required.
Watertube boilers are also capable of high efficiencies and can generate saturated or
superheated steam. The ability of watertube boilers to generate superheated steam makes these
boilers particularly attractive in applications that require dry, high-pressure, high-energy steam,
including steam turbine power generation.

Air Preheater:
An air preheater or air heater is a general term to describe any device designed to heat air
before another process (for example, combustion in a boiler) with the primary objective of
increasing the thermal efficiency of the process. They may be used alone or to replace a
recuperative heat system or to replace a steam coil.
The purpose of the air preheater is to recover the heat from the boiler flue gas which
increases the thermal efficiency of the boiler by reducing the useful heat lost in the flue gas. As a
consequence, the flue gases are also sent to the flue gas stack (or chimney) at a lower
temperature, allowing simplified design of the ducting and the flue gas stack. It also allows
control over the temperature of gases leaving the stack.
Economizers:
Flue gases from large boilers are typically 450 - 650°F. Stack Economizers recover some
of this heat for pre-heating water. The water is most often used for boiler make-up water or some
other need that coincides with boiler operation. Stack Economizers should be considered as an
efficiency measure when large amounts of make-up water are used (i.e. not all condensate is
returned to the boiler or large amounts of live steam are used in the process so there is no
condensate to return) or there is a simultaneous need for large quantities of hot water for some
other use. The savings potential is based on the existing stack temperature, the volume of make-
up water needed, and the hours of operation. Economizers are available in a wide range of sizes,
from small coil-like units to very large waste heat recovery boilers.
The savings potential is a function of how much heat can be recovered, which is a
function of how much cold water needs to be heated. A generally accepted "rule of thumb" is
that about 5% of boiler input capacity can be recovered with a properly sized economizer. A
higher percentage can be recovered with a Flue Gas Condenser, assuming there is enough cold
water to condense all of the flue gas that is available. Therefore, for 'ball parking' purposes, start
by comparing boiler input capacity with the need to heat water.
An economizer that recovers 5% of boiler input should easily have a 2 year payback in a
year-round application.

Steam Turbine
Turbine is used to convert the heat energy into mechanical energy. Turbine used in tps
Muzaffar Garh is impulse-reaction steam turbine.
The load requirement is controlled by the steam flow through a governing valve.
Maximum steam flow at full load is 670 tons/hour. When the load at the generator is suddenly
decreased then the rpm (frequency) of the generator is increased and to decrease the frequency
we lower down the steam flow which decreases the speed and maintains the frequency.
If load is suddenly increased rotor speed becomes slower, to increase the speed, steam flow is
increased.
Steam turbine has three parts.

De-kending Area:
The furnace oil that is used as a fuel in the burners of the boiler furnace to produce the
steam is transported to the TPS through two ways;
 Oil Tankers
 train
For unloading of the fuel from oil tankers and train there is separate unloading or
dekending station for each. The unloaded fuel oil is initially stored in the underground reservoir;
from there it is filled in the main storage tanks.
02 pumps are used to fill the main storage tanks from the oil tankers de-kending area.
One of them is active (on load) and other is standby.
Fuel Oil Tanks:

From the de-kending area the furnace oil is filled in the storage tanks. From there it is
supplied to the burners of the boiler furnace after proper heating.
Usually one storage tank is called service tank, from there furnace oil is supplied to the
units. The furnace oil is filled in the other tanks first and then filled in the service tanks through
recirculation pumps (RCP). The oil in the tanks is kept heated at the temperature 75 C to 80 C.
There are total 06 storage tanks for furnace oil each having a volume of 20,000 cubic
meters hence each can store 2, 00,00,000 liters.

The Generator
The generator is a device which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Working Principle:
The working principle of generator is based on the Faraday’s law of electromagnetic
induction, which states that
“The emf is always produced in the conductor which is placed in the magnetic field when
there is a relative motion between conductor and the magnetic field”.
If the output electrical energy is AC, it is called AC generator or alternator. If the output
electrical energy is DC, it is called DC generator. In fact there is no difference between alternator
and DC generator except the way the output is obtained from the generator. In alternator the AC
supply is produced in the armature and supply is obtained through slip rings where as in the DC
generator the generated AC supply is obtained from the armature through split rings or
commutator which converts the AC into DC.
The following three things are necessary for the generation of electrical energy;
 Magnetic field
 Conductor
 Relative motion between conductor and Magnetic field

In the small generator the magnetic field is being produced in the stator and the emf is
produced in the rotor through Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. The electromagnetic
are used in the generator to produce the magnetic field.
In the large generator the magnetic field is produced by the electromagnetic in the rotor
and the emf is produced in the stator. The output is taken from the stator because if the output is
taken from the rotor, the rotor must have high insulation due to the high voltage induction and it
must have heavy insulation which may increase the size of the rotor, and require more power for
the prime mover to rotate this heavy rotor.
Synchronous Generator:
The generators used in the TPS are synchronous generator.
Synchronous generators are by definition synchronous, meaning that the electrical
frequency produced is locked in or synchronized with the mechanical rate of rotation of the
generator.
A DC current is applied to the rotor winding, which then produces a rotor magnetic field.
The rotor is then turned by a prime mover (e.g. Steam, water etc.) producing a rotating magnetic
field. This rotating magnetic field induces a 3-phase set of voltages within the stator windings of
the generator.
“Field windings” applies to the windings that produce the main magnetic field in a
machine, and “armature windings” applies to the windings where the main voltage is induced.
For synchronous machines, the field windings are on the rotor, so the terms “rotor windings” and
“field windings” are used interchangeably.
Generally a synchronous generator must have at least 2 components:

a) Rotor Windings or Field Windings
 Salient Pole
 Non Salient Pole
b) Stator Windings or Armature Windings
The rotor of a synchronous generator is a large electromagnet and the magnetic poles on
the rotor can either be salient or non salient construction. Non-salient pole rotors are normally
used for rotors with 2 or 4 poles rotor, while salient pole rotors are used for 4 or more poles
rotor.

A dc current must be supplied to the field circuit on the rotor. Since the rotor is rotating, a
special arrangement is required to get the dc power to its field windings. The common ways are:
 Supply the dc power from an external dc source to the rotor by means of slip rings and
brushes.
 Supply the dc power from a special dc power source mounted directly on the shaft of the
synchronous generator.
 Slip rings are metal rings completely encircling the shaft of a machine but insulated from
it. One end of the dc rotor winding is tied to each of the 2 slip rings on the shaft of the
synchronous machine, and a stationary brush rides on each slip ring.
A “brush” is a block of graphite like carbon compound that conducts electricity freely but has
very low friction; hence it doesn’t wear down the slip ring. If the positive end of a dc voltage
source is connected to one brush and the negative end is connected to the other, then the same dc
voltage will be applied to the field winding at all times regardless of the angular position or
speed of the rotor.
Some problems with slip rings and brushes:

 They increase the amount of maintenance required on the machine, since the brushes
must be checked for wear regularly.
 Brush voltage drop can be the cause of significant power losses on machines with larger
field currents.
Small synchronous machines – use slip rings and brushes.

Larger machines – brushless exciters are used to supply the dc field current.
A brushless exciter is a small ac generator with its field circuit mounted on the stator and its
armature circuit mounted on the rotor shaft. The 3-phase output of the exciter generator is

rectified to direct current by a 3-phase rectifier circuit also mounted on the shaft of the generator,
and is then fed to the main dc field circuit. By controlling the small dc field current of the exciter
generator (located on the stator), we can adjust the field current on the main machine without slip
rings and brushes. Since no mechanical contacts occur between the rotor and stator, a brushless
exciter requires less maintenance.
The Speed of Rotation of a Synchronous Generator:

Synchronous generators are by definition synchronous, meaning that the electrical frequency
produced is locked in or synchronized with the mechanical rate of rotation of the generator. A
synchronous generator’s rotor consists of an electromagnet to which direct current is supplied.
The rotor’s magnetic field point in the direction the rotor is turned. Hence, the rate of rotation of
the magnetic field in the machine is related to the stator electrical frequency by:
Excitation of Generator:
Excitation of synchronous generator is done via DC supply which is given to the field
winding of the generator to produce the magnetic field.
The generator can be classified, with respect to the excitation, as under;
Separately Excited Generator:

The generator in which the DC supply is given to the field winding of the generator
through the external source is called separately excited generator.
Self Excited Generator:

The generator in which the DC supply is given to the field winding of the generator
through its own generated supply is called self excited generator.
Synchronous Generator in TPS:

The main generators used in the TPS phase-I are separately excited generators. For this
purpose another synchronous generator is installed on the same shaft of the turbine and main
generator which is called “Exciter”.
The exciter is a self excited synchronous generator. In the initial startup the DC supply is
given to the field winding (rotor) of the exciter by the DC batteries for 4 seconds. After that the
DC batteries are cut off and the DC supply is given to the field of the exciter by its own
generated supply after the rectification.
The AC supply generated by the exciter is also given to the field winding (rotor) for its
excitation after the rectification. The AC produced by the exciter is sent to the rectifier room
where it is converted to the controlled DC supply by thyristers. The firing angles of the thyristers
are controlled by the AVR (automatic voltage regulator) and hence the excitation of the
generator is controlled.
Exciter generator:
Excitor generator of the excitor provides independent power supply(3-phase, 50 Hz) to
the excitation system. The exciter generator is installed on the same shaft with the turbo
generator.
The exciter is excited by two water cooling thyristor converters. The thyrister converters
are connected in parallel and operate in turn: one is in operation while other is in automatic
stand-by duty. The ac and dc circuits of the thyristers includes several knife switches for removal
either of the converters from service for repair.
Initial excitation of the exciter generator is carried out by a short term connection of the
storage batteries through a contactor and rectification bridge.

Cooling System of Turbo Generator:

The first question arises here is that why we need cooling of the generator?
As the current flow in the stator and rotor of the generator is very high so it increases the
temperature of the stator and rotor winding. As a result the resistance of the stator and rotor
windings increases which increase the power losses and may cause the insulation breakdown.
Two types of cooling is used in the turbo generator of TPS phase-II
1. Stator cooling
2. Rotor cooling
Stator cooling:

The stator of the turbo generator is cooled by the distillated or demineralized (demi)
water. For this purpose a special plant is installed which prepares the demi water for the stator
cooling. This demi water is also used for the cooling system of the thyrister converters. The
water is passed though the hollow conductors of the stator winding for its cooling.
The demi water is necessary for the cooling of the stator winding because raw water is
not a pure insulator which may cause the flow of leakage current when passed through stator
winding.
The demineralized water plant removes the impurities and minerals of the raw water and
make it good insulator whose Resistivity is taken at a minimum level of 200 kΩ.cm.
The demi water that passes through the stator winding absorbs the heat of the stator
winding making it cool and becomes hot itself. The demi water then passes through heat
exchangers (coolers) where its temperature is decreased by the circulating water coming from the
cooling towers. This demi water is also passed through the mechanical and magnetic filters
before passing through stator winding and thyrister converters. The stator and thyristers cooling
circle is shown in figure below;
Water parameters in Heat Exchangers
Rated temp.of cold water at inlet 32 C

Min: temp of cold water 15 C
No. of gas heat exchangers 02
Rated water flow in on heat exchangers 150 m3/h
Rotor Cooling:
The rotor cooling is done by the Hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen gas is used for the following purposes:
1. Its heat exchange capability is much better than other gases
2. It is very lighter than other gases so do not overload the rotor.
3. Its preparation is very easy and cheap.
Hydrogen gas is filled in the generator and maintained at a pressure of 4kg/cm2. It takes
all the heat of the rotor and cools the rotor winding and gets warmed itself. For the cooling of the
gas there are four gas coolers inside the generator on each corner. Circulating water of the
cooling tower is used in the gas cooler for the hydrogen cooling.
Hydrogen gas is explosive if it is combined with oxygen under pressure so to avoid any
leakage of gas and entrance of air inside the generator the rotor assembly is sealed by the seal oil
whose pressure is at least 0.7kg/cm2 more than hydrogen gas inside the generator.
When the generator is turned off for a long time for maintenance purpose hydrogen is
released from the generator in the air using special method. Method involves that firstly fill the
generator with CO2 which release the hydrogen in the air and then in the end air is filled in the
generator and CO2 is released in the air. This method is adopted because if hydrogen is released
using air instead of CO2 then it can cause explosion due to oxygen in the air which will meet
hydrogen under pressure in the generator.
After maintenance hydrogen gas is refilled in the generator using the reverse process as
described above.

Transformer
Generally following type of transformers are used in our power house.
 Main transformer
 Stand by transformer
 Auxiliary transformer
Parts of Transformer:
Main transformer consists of following parts:

1. Power fans
2. Condenser type bushing
3. Oil conservator
4. Bucholz relay
5. Winding temperature controller
6. Thermostat and thermometer
7. Current transformers
8. Tap changer
9. Earthing tower
10. Fire protection cooling system
11. Automatic voltage regulator
Power Fans:
The natural cooling of the transformer can be increased by the addition of power fans placed at
the base or along the side of radiators, whether they are fitted directly to the tank or groups in
outside gangs.
The fans are of helical type and are of capable of generating an air flow. The motor
designed for an absorbed power .25 ÷1 HP is closed, self cooling, with cage rotor and mounted
on bearing.
Normally the fans are controlled automatically through a thermostat. In addition to make
manual operation possible as well, a preselector is often built into the system, allowing operation
by means of push buttons on the protection and control cover.
When forced cooling is provided the power fans unit is split into two units each
controlled through it’s own switch by same thermal relay.
Condenser type Bushing:

The bushing is packaged in cases, generally in the vertical position. Packing is providing to
protect the bushing from blows and moisture during transients. Moreover, the part of each
bushing normally immersed in oil is protected from moisture by a cup shaped metal or plastic
covering directly fitted to the bushing flange.
On spare bushing, not used for transformer testing, a water proof film may be found for
some construction type on the surface of resin paper. Before using the bushing, this film should
be removed with a blunt tool, for not to damage the surface underneath.
The bushing should be stored in dry place, always in the vertical position, even for short
period.
Atmoseal Type air-cell oil conservator:

For air cell conservator the contact between oil and outside air is prevented. Moreover the
pressure on the oil surface remains constant and equal to the atmosphere pressure. When
transformer is running, it requires a very small maintenance limited to routine inspection.
In conservator an oil resistant, flexible, rubber oil-cell is arranged in communication with the
outside through a drier that prevents condensation in the cell. The air cell gets bigger or smaller
so as to compensate oil volume variations and to keep pressure an oil surface at the atmospheric
valve. The working condition of the Buchholz relays, installed on the tank to conservator pipe, is
not out all affected by the air cell.

Buchholz type gas accumulation relay:

This relay is provided for transformer protection when electrical breakdown occurs between the
live parts, or in the event of fault to ground, short circuits between turns, phase interruptions,
burning of core, oil leakage in the tank or in the oil cooling system.
This relay will operate on the occurrence of gas formation or on sudden variations of oil level
resulting from abnormal transformer conditions by actuating an alarm signal and if the fault is
serious or persistent, by putting the transformer out of service. The Buchholz relay is installed
directly on the oil pipe connecting the tank to the conservator and is normally flooded with oil, in
which its inner armature is permanently immersed with the actuating device.
The upper contact for signaling purpose is closed by operation of pertaining float, when due to
an inflow of gas to the relay or the other reason, the oil level contained in the upper part of the
relay is lowered. The lower contact which controls the tripping circuit is operated by the
corresponding float when the oil level reaches the lower part of the relay.
Whenever the Buchholz relay operates the alarm and the tripping circuit, it is necessary to open
the gas drawing cock and to make sure that gas is released.
Winding temperature controller

A thermal image device is used to detect the “Hot Spot” temperature in the winding of a power
transformer. A coil is immersed in the hottest oil layer of the transformer, transmits through the
capillary tube, the temperature variation to the temperature indicator. A heater coil is placed
around the thermometer bulb and is supplied by the secondary of main current transformer. The
current in the heater is proportional to that is flowing in the winding. The heater is designed to
obtain a temperature rise and a thermal inertia equal to those of transformer winding.
It should be noted that the temperature values read on the indicator are “Hot Spot” values, i.e.
maximum local winding temperature. Therefore, when the transformer operates at full load, the
reading may exceed the temperature limit by the standards for the average winding temperature.
Temperature indicator:
The indicator is sealed in the tank; it is a potentiometer for remote indication and is mounted at
man’s height at the tank of the transformer. The thermometer bulb located in the probe, is
connected through the capillary tube to the actuating bellows of the instruments. A second
capillary tube runs parallel to the preceding one and is connected to the compensating bellows to
cancel the influence of the ambient temperature. The system is filled with a special stable and
non corrosive liquid.
The instrument dial is graduated from 0 to 150 C over an arc of 270. The index 7 is actuated
through a sector gear, the latter is also operates the lever , moving the slider of potentiometer if
required and the lever which controls the fixed differential switch and the variable differential
switch. The device is fitted with a maximum index that can be reset to zero. The switches and the
potentiometer are connected to terminal boards and the potentiometer has fine and zero
adjustments.
Thermostat and thermometer

This device is used for the temperature control and consists of a bulb at the top part of the
transformer tank and connected through the capillary tube to a dial indicator. Besides indicating
the temperature, this instrument closed a circuit connected to an alarm device and subsequently a
second circuit directly connected to the main breaker and capable to cause the detachment of the

transformer from the line. The measurement system can be of liquid thermometer type. The scale
is not linear but approximately logarithmic expandable with the temperature

SWITCH YARD
Mainly there are different but most important things for the protection, measurement, metering
and for the other purposes
 Circuit Breaker
 Isolator
 Insulator
 Insulator strings
 Bus Bar

 Current transformer (C.T.)

 Potential transformer (P.T.)
 Conductor
 Control Switch
 Relays
 Power Line communication box
Circuit Breaker:
This is the basic and the most important part of the switchyard. Isolators are used for it’s
protection because the minimum cost of the circuit breaker which has been installed in KAPCO
is of 10 million rupees. So, we are required to provide protection to it to avoid the burning and
the familiar of the breaker.
Objective:
This is installed to protect or making some disconnection or connection part, So that there can be
a bridge between the two parts.
This is an automatic device which opens and closes by sensing the characteristics defined
by the designer. Suppose if we want to work on the transmission line going to any other region,
then we make open the connections of the circuit breaker.
On the other hand, if any fault occurs on any side of the breaker, then current transformer which
is certainly installed with a breaker senses the abnormal current and sends information to the
central control room and also performs some action to protect the system from any accident.
Any of the line is no longer in contact with the generator, all lines are coming out from the bus
bar and there is a circuit breaker in between the line and the bus bar. So, by chance, if occurs a
fault in transmission line then we can easily recover it by opening the breaker. Similarly the line
from the step-up transformer to the bus bar is also protected by a circuit breaker.
So, this circuit breaker is a kind of connection and disconnection between the generator, bus bar
and the transmission line. So, by this way, the transmission line or substation or bus bar itself and
also generator are protected from any kind of small or big accidents.
The Necessary Capabilities of Breaker:

1. It should be capable of extinguishing the arc without undue delay.
2. It should withstand the transient voltage that appears across the contacts immediately
after the current flow ceases. So it should provide sufficient dielectric strength immediately
after the rupture of current.
Components of the circuit breaker:

Auxiliary switch
This is only for the purpose of the taking information about the working of the C.B. e.g. it
consists of PLC’s which take information that whether the breaker is open or close. The
information about the opening and the closing of the breaker is taken by such a way that there are

some normally open and normally closed contacts in auxiliary switch. So, if the breaker is closed
then information from the normally closed contacts is sent to C.C.R. (Central Control Room) and
a light is made ON there showing that Breaker is in closed condition. Similarly is the breaker is
open, then Normally open contacts are closed and in the similar fashion described above, light is
made ON in C.C.R. showing that breaker is in open condition.
Mechanical switching:
This process is done with help of the oil pressure. A certain oil pressure is obtained and then
according to the information supplied by the manufacturer, opening and closing of the breaker is
done at some pressure defined, i.e. if pressure goes less than 273 bars than breaker is opened and
then does not close itself until it is done manually.
Inside protection:
As because of the opening and closing of contacts by some other reasons, arcs are produced
inside the breaker which is dangerous for the life and the characteristics of the breaker. So, these
arcs must be quenched.
There are many methods for quenching these arcs, e.g.
• Air quenching
• Gas quenching
• Vacuum quenching
Now days, most commonly used methods for quenching the arch is the use of the SF 6 gas which
is very much efficient for doing this task.
Types of Circuit Breakers:
They can be classified with respect to two criteria

1. arc quenching media
2. construction
With respect to arc quenching media , we have most used types listed below
• The oil circuit breakers
• The air circuit breakers
• The SF6 circuit breakers
• The vacuum type
Oil Type:
In the oil type circuit breaker, the arc is produced in the oil thus oil decomposes and replaced
by the surrounding oil thus provides both cooling and give proper dielectric strength. Such an
arrangement can work for breaking duty not exceeding 150MVA.
Addition can be done to increase the rating by providing pressure pot and externally generated
pressure to extinguish the arc by pushing it and also by dividing it into sections by means of
insulators .By these means, a rating of 7500MVA at 132 kV is possible. Also low oil content
breaker can be used to decrease the size and increase the life and performance of oil.

Air Type:
Axial, radial or cross blast is used in these breakers to extinguish arc and also insulators can be
added to increase the dielectric strength.
Vacuum Type:
In this type, the vacuum is created at the contact position. When the contacts open, the
resistance becomes very high since no ionization in the medium occurs. only source of electrons
is the harmonic emission through the surfaces. So no chance of re-striking arc after it is once
extinguished.
Current transformers:
Current transformers are used in power transformers as a source of energy for operation
of relays, to measure the equipment of a thermal image plant, a line drop compensator and
protection system etc.
The current transformers normally incorporated in power transformers may be of
bushing type with primary winding.
The primary is formed by connection which goes from the winding of each individual
phase of the transformer to the corresponding insulator and which crosses the transformer
centrally. If the transformer ratio is very low and the accuracy is high, it is advisable to use the
type with the primary winding. As far as possible, these current transformers are arranged on
the machine in an easily accessible position.
Chemical section
The chemical section consists of the following sections;
 Hydrogen plant
 Demineralization plant
 Oil testing lab
 Water testing lab
Hydrogen Plant:

Hydrogen plant prepares the hydrogen gas which is used for the cooling of the rotor of
the turbo generator. The hydrogen gas is used for the cooling of the rotor of the turbo generator
because it has better heat transfer characteristics, cheap and easy preparation and also it is very
light and hence do not over load the rotor.
The hydrogen is prepared by electrolyses of the water. For this DC supply is given to the
electrolyzer. This Dc supply is produced after step down of the 6.6 kV supply to 400 V and then
by 3-pahe rectifier.
Raw water is used for the preparation of the hydrogen as it supports fast electrolyses
action then de-mineralized water.
Potassium Hydro oxide (KOH) is used as a catalyst. The oxygen and hydrogen are
prepared in the ratio of 1:2.
A generalized layout of the hydrogen plant is shown in the figure below;

HYDROGEN
DC Power Supply:
The 3-phase 6.6 kV supply is stepped down to 400 V through step down transformers.
For this purpose 02 transformers are installed in the section which has a specification as follow;
Rated Power: 96 kVA

Rated Voltage: 415 V
Rated Current: 133.6 A

Each transformer follows a 3-phase thyrister rectifier converting the 3-phase AC into DC
supply which is given to the electrolyzers. The thyrister converters can provide the 60 V, 1250 A
DC supply to the electrolyzers. .
Electrolyzer:
The process of electrolyses of the water takes place in the electrolyses.
The process in which DC current is passed through the water resulting the separation of
the cation and anion is known as electrolyses.
The electrolyzer has 25 cells each takes 2.2 V, a total of 55 V DC and a maximum current
of 1000 A. The separated hydrogen and oxygen then leaves the electrolyzer on its own ways.
Separating Column:
The hydrogen leaving the perforated flash box (PFB) enters the separating column which
removes the small parts of alkali from it
Gas Scrubber:
Gas scrubber is also called gas washer. It removes the impurities from the hydrogen such
as dust particles etc.
Dryer:
The dryer dry the hydrogen coming out from the gas scrubber. As gas scrubber do the
washing of the hydrogen gas so it has to be dried.
Receiver Tanks:
The receiver tanks store the prepared hydrogen gas. For this purpose 06 receiver tanks are
used. The pressure inside the tanks is kept 10kg/cm2.
03 tanks are for oxygen and 03 are for carbon dioxide storage.
Demineralization plant
“The water which is free of all the impurities, minerals, gases like Oxygen Nitrogen and
consists of only pure water (H2O) is called demineralized water”.
Demineralized plant is used for the preparation of demineralized water. Demineralized
water is used for the preparation of steam, for the cooling of stator of generator and for the
cooling of thyristors in the excitation system.

The plant has total generation capacity of 90 tons/hour. Raw water is used for the
preparation of the demi water. Raw water is pumped out by the tube wells and stored in the raw
water storage tanks.
Demi water is passed through the hollow conductors of stator winding for the stator
cooling. It is used for this purpose because demi water acts as an insulator & has a resistivity of
200kOhms.it does not short circuit the windings. Demi water is used for the steam preparation in
the boiler for the following reasons:
Raw water contains mineral like Calcium, Magnesium and sulphur. These minerals cause
the stacks and corrosion in the boiler tubes which causes the heat loses and may damage the
boiler tubes. The designed loss of the demi water in the steam cycle is 2%. Make up demi water
is done in the hot well and feed water tank.
A generalized layout of the demi water plant is shown in the figure below;

Mech. Clarifier filters:

In mechanical clarifier filter coal and gravels are is used to remove the unresolved
particles from the water.
Cation filter:
In the cation filter resins is used which replaces the Na+ & Ca2+ ions in the water from the
+
H ions. In the end water becomes acidic.

Decarbonizer exhaust:
It removes the carbonates from the water.CO2 is removed by showering of the water
against air. It is also known as degasifier.
Anion filter:
In Anion filter castic soda (NaOH) is used which replaces the Cl- or SO4 ions with the
OH- ions forming partial demi water.
Cation 2nd filter:

It also removes the positive ions from the water.
Mixed filter:
In the mixed filter both the remaining anions and cations are removed. The water leaving
the mixed bed is the pure distilled water.
Storage tanks:
This prepared demineralized water is then stored in the storage tanks.
Water treatment:
Ammonium hydroxide, Hydrazine and Trisodium phosphate are dozed at different points
in the boiler such as boiler drum, for water treatment.
The nature of this water is acidic, to minimize the acidity of this water ammonium hydroxide
(NH4OH) is used.
Hydrazine (N2H4) removes the Oxygen from water and protects the boiler tubes against
corrosion.
Trisodium phosphate (Na3PO4) is used in the boiler drum which removes the Ca, Mg and adds
Na.
Oil Testing Lab:
Different tests of the furnace oil and the lubrication oil are performed in the oil testing
laboratory to check their characteristics.
The test on the transformer oil is also performed in this lab.
The following tests are performed on the furnace and lube oil:-
1. Moisture test

2. Flash point test.

3. Viscosity test.
4. Specific gravity test.
5. Acidity test.
6. Solubility test.
7. Mechanical impurity test.
8. Chlorification test.
