This document provides information about thermal power plants in India. It begins with an introduction to power plants and defines a thermal power plant as one that converts the heat energy from coal combustion into electrical energy. India generates over 65% of its electricity from coal-based thermal power plants, with the largest being the Vindhyachal Thermal Power Station in Madhya Pradesh with a capacity of 4,760 MW. The advantages of thermal power plants include lower initial costs compared to hydroelectric plants, while the disadvantages include higher running costs and pollution.

3. WHAT ARE POWER PLANTS/POWER STATIONS?
A power plant is an industrial facility used to generate electric power
with the help of one or more generators which converts different energy
sources into electric power.

4. WHAT IS A THERMAL POWER PLANT?
(COAL BASED)
A generating station which converts heat energy of coal combustion
into electrical energy is known as a steam power station or Thermal
Power Station.
• More than 65% of India's electricity generation
• 85% Coal-Based
• The 10 biggest thermal power stations operating in India are
all coal-fired.
• 5 of them owned and operated by state-run National Thermal
Power Corporation (NTPC).

5. BASIC PRINCIPLE
OF THERMAL POWER PLANT
A thermal power station basically works on the Rankine cycle.
Steam is produced in the boiler by utilizing the heat of coal
combustion.
• The working fluid is water and
steam.
• This is called feed water and
steam cycle.
• The ideal Thermodynamic Cycle
to which the operation of a
Thermal Power Station closely
resembles is the RANKINE
CYCLE.

12. ADVANTAGES
•Less initial cost as compared to hydro-electric generating station.
•Less space as compared to the hydro-electric power station.
•Less fuel cost as compared to gas.
•Huge amount of power generated easily.
•Cost of generation is less as compared to diesel power station.

13. DISADVANTAGES
•Running cost is more than hydro power stations.
•Pollutes atmosphere by smoke & Fumes.
•Maintenance cost is more.
•Skilled persons are required for erecting and maintaining the power station.
•Land requirement is more for storage of coal and ash.
