EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
According to internship requirement, I passed two month in
GENCO from ----------- to -----------. This was so much
learning period for me. This internship report is about
Thermal Power Station Muzaffargarh also named as
GENCO-III. In GENCO-III, there are total 6 units in which
Phase-I consists of 210MW each and phase-II consist 2 units
of 210MW each and a separate unit namely unit- IV having a
capacity of 320MW. So a total of 1370MW capacity of
GENCO-III. The generation installed are al furnace oil
generation consisting of a steam turbine and having water
tube boiler. In this repot, different protections of generator
and transformers are discussed. The circuit Breakers and
their types and relays and the role of instrument transformer

Mission Statement:
Our mission is to bring the assurance of energy to our customer, with world class quality and
commitment for satisfaction as we in our quest for excellence.
Background:
Northern Power Generation Company Limited owns and operates thermal power generation
facilities located at Muzaffargarh, Multan and Faisalabad. Installed capacity of the generation
assets is 1921MW, which has declined over the years to dependable capacity of 1169MW complex
pattern of internal and external factor constrain operating and financial performance of the
company. The company has been operating with a negative bottom line, which has jeopardized
sustainability.
Government of Pakistan aims to address the country’s power sector issues by implementing power
sector reform program. As part of the program the public sector thermal power generation
companies (GENCOs), including NPGCL were required to develop and implement Business plans to
effectively respond to constraints and obstacles to satisfactory performance.
Introduction:
This thermal power station is situated in Multan division’s district Muzaffargarh. In 1985 Ghulam
Ishaq Khan make an agreement with Russia for the establishment of the power station. Initially
this project was documented for Multan. But due to certain reason like arability of land, cost etc.
this project shifted to Muzaffargarh by the name of Multan-II. Initially three units were established
in Muzaffargarh, called Phas-1. These are also known as Russia units. These units are operated
with oil & gas. The each of 210MW capacities. China establishes their units to meet the need/
demand of electricity. These units are also 210MW. China has also established a unit called #4
witches has the capacity of 320MW. The unit #4 is fully computerized. All its functionality is
handled through computerized programs about 1500 people are working in this organization
including both technical & non-technical. To make this project Economic District Muzaffargarh was
select. Other reasons for this location is there is no thermal house in this is no thermal house in
this Area at that time the Area like Multan Division and D.G.Khan lies at center of Pakistan
approximately. The selection of the location may be due to safety reason in war conditions.
Pakistan water and power development authority (WAPDA) is an integrated utility in Pakistan.
WAPDA is responsible for the development of hydel power and water sector project in Pakistan.
WAPDA operates through-power wing and water wing, it is engaged in the generation,
transmission and distribution of power. In addition, it also manages irrigation, water supply and
drainage system in the country. Further, it is also responsible for prevention of water logging and
reclamation of water logged and saline land.

The Pakistan water and power development authority (WAPDA) was established through an act of
parliament in Feb 1958 for integrated and rapid development and maintenance of water and
power resource of the country. As per the charter, amended in March 1959 to transfer the existing
electricity department from the federating units to it, WAPDA has been assigned the duties of
investigation, planning and execution of projects and schemes for:
• Generation, transmission and distribution
• Irrigation, water supply and drainage
• Prevention of water logging and reclamation of saline land,
• Food control and inland navigation.
Under the later on developments, the “energy policy 1994”, setting up of thermal power
generation projects was shifted to the private sector. Now 13 entities are working under WAPDA.
These are:
• National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC)
• Four Thermal Power Generation Companies (GENCOs)
• Eight Distribution Companies (Discos)

Capacity
“Capacity is the maximum rate of output for a facility”. The facility can be a workstation or an
entire organization.
There are two phases working at thermal power station Muzaffargarh.
PHASE-1:
In phase one there are three units of capacity 210MW. This phase was establish by Russia also
called Russia phase.
PHASE-2:
In phase two there are two units of capacity 210MW and one unit of capacity 320MW.
The phase-1 can produce 15120000 units/24 hrs.
So the total capacity of both two phase is 48000000 units/24 hrs. But this is situation when all the
units are working with their full capacity. But there are little situation
When this type of occurrence. But they utilize their capacity according to the requirement. All the
decisions about the utilization are done at higher level. NPCC Islamabad gives all the instruction
about the utilization. The reason is that all the thermal houses in Pakistan are connected just a ring
topology (the term in networking). When sufficient amount of water are available the more
concentration are given to produce Hydroelectricity because this source of electricity are much
cheap than thermal electricity.
