Rumani Chakraborty completed a vocational training report on their internship at the Southern Generating Station of CESC Limited from December 26, 2016 to January 7, 2017. The report thanks the guides at the power plant and acknowledges the support of their parents. It also provides an abstract stating that the training aimed to study a modern pulverized coal-fired power plant using a regenerative Rankine cycle to efficiently generate electricity as the primary form of energy transmission. The specific plant has a total capacity of 135MW across two 67.5MW units and a 77MW boiler.

ABSTRACT
The main aim of this project is to study a Thermal Power Plant. Electricity is the
only form of energy, which is easy to produce, easy to transport, easy to use and
easy to control. So, it is mostly the terminal form of energy for transmission and
distribution. Electricity consumption per capita is the index of the living
standard of people of a place or country.
Electricity in bulk quantities is produced in power plants. Thermal Power
Plant is one of them, generating more than 80% of the total electricity produced
in the world. Fossil fuels, viz. coal, fuel oil, and natural gas are the energy
sources, and steam is the working fluid.
This project aims at closely studying a modern pulverized coal-fired
electricity generation unit named a
Power Plant that uses the most commonly employed Rankine-based
thermodynamic cycle. To increase efficiency, the Rankine Cycle is modified
with the Reheat Cycle, the Regenerative Cycle or with the Reheat-Regenerative
Cycle. Here, in this power plant, only the Regenerative Cycle has been adopted
to increase efficiency.
This power plant has a total capacity of 135 MW, with two units each of
the capacity of 67.5MW. Its boiler capacity is 77MW.
