 NTPC, the largest power Company in India, was setup in 1975 to accelerate power development in the country. NTPC has installed capacity of 29,394 MW. 15 coal based power stations (23,395 MW) 7 gas based power stations (3,955 MW) 4 power stations in Joint Ventures (1,794 MW). The company has power generating facilities in all major regions of the country.

NTPC, was setup in 1975 worlds largest .

In Forbes list of Worlds 2000 Largest Companies for the year 2007, NTPC occupies 411th place.

BTPS was conceived in 1965 to meet the growing electricity demand of Northern Region. The site construction activities started in 1968. The plant became operational with the commissioning of its first unit on 26th July 1973, 2nd unit in ;74 , 3rd unit in 75 , 4th unit in 78 & 5th unit in 81.

Basic Principle
There are basically three main units of a thermal power plant: 1. Steam Generator or Boiler 2. Steam Turbine 3. Electric Generator

Electricity from Coal

 A generating station which converts heat energy of coal combustion into

electrical energy is known as a steam power station. Steam is produced in the boiler by utilizing the heat of coal combustion. The steam is then expanded in the steam turbine and is condensed in a condenser to be fed into the boiler again. The steam turbine drives the alternator which converts mechanical energy of the turbine into electrical energy.

 Coal is burnt in a boiler ,which converts water

into steam. The steam is expanded in a turbine used to drive alternator. The steam expanded is condensed in a condenser to be feed into the boiler again. The steam turbine drives the alternator which converts mechanical energy of the turbine into electrical energy.

Boiler
A boiler is closed vessel in which water is converted into steam by utilising the heat of coal combustion. Steam boilers are broadly classified into following two types: (a) Water tube boilers (b) Fire tube boilers In a water tube boiler, water flows through the tubes and the hot gases of combustion flow over these tubes. Water-tube boilers are used for high-pressure boilers

The heated water then rises into the steam drum. Here, saturated steam is drawn off the top of the drum. The steam will reenter the furnace in through a superheater in order to become superheated. Superheated steam is used in driving turbines. Since water droplets can severely damage turbine blades, steam is superheated to 730F (390C) or higher in order to ensure that there is no water entrained in the steam.

 A device which removes last traces of moisture. It helps in reduction in requirement of steam quantity. Steam being dry reduces the mechanical resistance of turbine. No corrosion at the turbine blades.

 Remove heat from the water discharged from the condenser so that the water can be discharged to the river or re circulated and reused.
Air can be circulated in the cooling towers through natural draft and mechanical draft.

 A natural result from the burning of fossil fuels, particularly

coal, is the emission of flyash. Ash is mineral matter present in the fuel. For a pulverized coal unit, 60-80% of ash leaves with the flue gas.
Two emission control devices for flyash are the fabric filters

and electrostatic precipitators.

Electrostatic precipitators have collection efficiency of 99%, but

do not work well for flyash with a high electrical resistivity (as commonly results from combustion of low-sulfur coal). In addition, the designer must avoid allowing unburned gas to enter the electrostatic precipitator since the gas could be ignited.
