SIX WEEK TRAINING ON THERMAL POWER GENERATION

KHUSHBU BHARTI
COURSE:-B.TECH EEE Roll. No:- 1028721902

INTRODUCTION
Kanti Bijlee Utpadan Nigam Limited (KBUNL) which is totally coal fired Thermal Power Station. There are two units of each 110MW installed capacity. To take over Muzaffarpur Thermal Power Station (2*110MW), a subsidiary company named Vaishali Power Generating Company Limited (VPGCL) was incorporated on September 6,2006 with NTPC contributing 51% of equity and

balance equity was contributed by Bihar State Electricity Board. The company
was rechristened as Kanti Bijlee Utpadan Nigam Limited on April 10, 2008. Present equity holding is NTPC 64.57% & BSEB 35.43%. Company is Renovating and modernising the existing unit and establishing new plant.

Working Principle
The basic working principle of thermal power plant is based on Rankine Cycle. A central steam station basically works on the Rankine Cycle .Steam is produced in the boiler, is expanded in the prime mover Turbine and is condenser to be fed into the boiler.

PROCESS OF GENERATION OF ELECTRICITY

MTPS Kanti is a thermal Power Plant .The functioning of every thermal power plant is based on following process: Coal To Steam

Steam To Mechanical Power

Power Generation ,Transmission & Distribution

1. Coal to Steam
Coal and water are the primary inputs to a thermal power plant .This process of conversion of water to steam by using heat energy produced by burning of coal by producing heat takes place in boiler and its auxiliaries. Feed water is supplied to the boiler drum by boiler feed pumps, where water is heated and converted into saturated steam.

2.Steam To Mechanical Power

The superheated steam produced in the boiler at high pressure and temperature is feed to the turbine giving up heat energy, which is transformed into mechanical energy on turbine shaft. Thus, mechanical power is obtained from the turbine shaft. The whole process is done by various stage of turbine process which is explain below.

Steam to Mechanical
There are three type of turbine used in the plant High Pressure Turbine Intermediate Turbine Low Pressure Turbine

3.Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution

Mechanical Power produced at the shaft of the turbine. It is used to rotate the motor
of the Generator where magnetic flux produced inside the stator conductor cuts by rotor conductor an electromotive force will be induced due to Faradays law of Electromagnetic Induction and produces electricity with the speed of 3000 RPM

and Frequency of 50 Hz.

Generation And Transmission Process

The KBUNL has capacity to generate 220MW of electricity but only one unit is

working and the second unit is under R&M process. We are generating 90MW out
of 110MW and giving to the substation. The transmission is done through three phase, double circuit system. With the help of transformer, we are converting 11kv to 220kv and fed to substation, It is then step down to 132kv and feeded to BSEB and local areas. Equipments used in transmission of power: Sub-Station 1) Control Room 2) Switchyard

Two main component for generation of electricity:1.Generator:- The electric power is generated by the help of it. Mechanical power is converted into Electric power. A generator consists of rotor which of carbon brushes. The rotor rotates at 3000 RPM in case of any fault if production of plants stops then we have bearing motor which rotates shaft of turbine continuously and rotor at 65 rpm. This is because if shaft doesnt rotates then due to load it may bend.

2.Transformer:-A transformer is an electrical device which works on the principle of mutual

induction. It has three windings primary, secondary, and tertiary. The 220KV voltage is fed as input to primary by step down 132 KV fed MTPS as input.

By step up transformer or generating transformer we increase the value of power from 110MW to 220MW. The 6.6 KV is used for internal purpose and rest of the power is supplied.
