This document discusses coal handling and combustion in thermal power plants. It begins by describing the different types of coal and methods of coal analysis. It then covers various aspects of coal handling including transportation, unloading, storage, and in-plant transfer systems. Specific equipment for crushing, conveying, and elevating coal are explained. The document concludes with a discussion of coal storage, preparation plants, and solid fuel combustion using different types of stokers.
In electric power generation a combined cycle is an assembly of heat engines that work in tandem from the same source of heat, converting it into mechanical energy, which in turn usually drives electrical generators. The principle is that after completing its cycle (in the first engine), the temperature of the working fluid engine is still high enough that a second subsequent heat engine may extract energy from the waste heat that the first engine produced. By combining these multiple streams of work upon a single mechanical shaft turning an electric generator, the overall net efficiency of the system may be increased by 50â60%. That is, from an overall efficiency of say 34% (in a single cycle) to possibly an overall efficiency of 51% (in a mechanical combination of two cycles) in net Carnot thermodynamic efficiency. This can be done because heat engines are only able to use a portion of the energy their fuel generates (usually less than 50%). In an ordinary (non combined cycle) heat engine the remaining heat (e.g., hot exhaust fumes) from combustion is generally wasted.
Combining two or more thermodynamic cycles results in improved overall efficiency, reducing fuel costs. In stationary power plants, a widely used combination is a gas turbine (operating by the Brayton cycle) burning natural gas or synthesis gas from coal, whose hot exhaust powers a steam power plant (operating by the Rankine cycle). This is called a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant, and can achieve a best-of-class real (HHV - see below) thermal efficiency of around 54% in base-load operation, in contrast to a single cycle steam power plant which is limited to efficiencies of around 35â42%. Many new gas power plants in North America and Europe are of the Combined Cycle Gas Turbine type. Such an arrangement is also used for marine propulsion, and is called a combined gas and steam (COGAS) plant. Multiple stage turbine or steam cycles are also common.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Â
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as âpredictable inferenceâ.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. Coal is the main fuel used in Thermal Power
Plants across India.
TYPES OF COAL:
īŽ Peat
īŽ Lignite
īŽ Semi bituminous
īŽ Bituminous
īŽ Anthracite
INTRODUCTION
2VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
3. COAL ANALYSIS
Ultimate Analysis : to
determine the
constituent of coal, but
rather in a form of its
basic chemical
elements.
Constituents %
Moisture 3-30
Volatile Matter 3-50
Ash 2-30
Fixed Carbon 16-92
Constituents %
Carbon 50-95
Hydrogen 1-5.5
Oxygen 2-40
Sulpher 0.5-3
Nitrogen 0.5-7
Ash 2-30
Proximate Analysis : to
determine the amount of
fixed carbon (FC), volatile
matters (VM), moisture, and
ash within the coal sample.
3VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
4. RECALL :
GCV : Gross calorific value : The amount of heat released during the
combustion of a specified amount of fuel, determined by bringing
all the products of combustion back to the original pre-combustion
temperature, and in particular condensing any vapor produced.
NCV : Net calorific value : The amount of heat released during the
combustion of a specified amount of fuel, determined by
subtracting the heat of vaporization of the water vapor from the
higher heating value (GCV).
Volatile Matter: Volatile matter present in coal may be combustible
gases like CH4, H2, CO and other hydrocarbon or
incombustible gases like CO2, N2 etc. Presence of incombustible
gases is always undesirable because it reduces the GCV of the coal.
4VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
5. SOME IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS
Clinker : When Temperature developed in coal burning is higher than the
fusion temperature of ash, the ash melts. The melting ash engulfs the
unburnt coal particles and forms a solidified mass which is known as
clinker. It is formed while burning coal containing ash which has low
fusion temperature.
Weathering of coal: All coals tend to combine with oxygen and slow
oxidation takes place. This process of oxidation without burning is
called weathering of coal.
Primary Air: The amount of air which is used to carry the coal and to
dry it before entering into the combustion chamber is known as
âPrimary Airâ
Secondary Air: The amount of air which is supplied separately for
completing the combustion is known as âSecondary Airâ.
5VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
6. OUT-PLANT HANDLING OF COAL
Out plant handling means transfer of coal from
mine or port to storage of coal at plant site
(dead storage).
1. Transportation by Rail: 4000 TO 13000 TONS PER TRIP.
2. Transportation by Ropeways
3. Transportation by Transportation by Sea or River
4. Road
5. Transportation of coal by Pipeline
6VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
11. COAL STORAGE
Storage of coal is undesirable,
because it costs more as there
is
īŽ risk of spontaneous
combustion,
īŽ weathering,
īŽ possibility of loss and
deterioration during storage,
īŽ interest on capital cost of coal
lying dormant,
īŽ cost of protecting the stored
coal from deterioration
and so on. 11VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
12. TYPES OF COAL STORAGE
ī¯ Dead Storage :
īŽ Supplies the coal where there is a shortage of
coal in plant due to failure of normal supply
of coal.
īŽ This is long term storage and 10% of annual
consumption, so it requires protection
against weathering and spontaneous
combustion. 12VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
13. TYPES OF COAL STORAGE
ī¯ Live storage :
īŽ Supplies coal to plant for day to day usage.
Capacity of live storage is less then that of dead
storage.
īŽ Usually stored in vertical cylindrical bunkers or
coal bins or silo, from where coal is transferred to
boiler grate.
īŽ Bunkers are normally diamond-shaped cross-
section storage area, made up of steel or
reinforced concrete. 13VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
14. PURPOSE OF DEAD STORAGE OF
COAL
ī¯ To prevent shutdown of power plant in case
of failure of normal supplies of coal due to
coal strike, failure of the transport system etc.
ī¯ Storage permits choice of the date of purchase
allowing management to take advantage of
seasonal market conditions.
14VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
15. MEANS OF COAL STORAGE
Storage in Coal Heaps :
It is required to :
īŽ Keep coal at low temperature (>70ÂēC)
īŽ Prevention of air circulation from bottom of coal piles
īŽ Proper drainage of rainy water to prevent weathering â drainage
should not be rapid to prevent washing away of coal.
Hence, ground used for stocking should be dry and leveled for
proper drainage and concrete-floored to prevent flow of air
from bottom.
Coal is piled at a height of about 10 to 12 m and compacted in
layers of 15 to 30 cm.
In dead storage, coal pile is sealed by asphalt, fine coal dust,
bituminous coating or other coating material.
15VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
16. MEANS OF COAL STORAGE (contd.)
Underwater Storage :
Possibility of slow oxidation and
spontaneous combustion can be
completely eliminated by storing coal
under water.
16VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
17. COAL STORAGE AT SITE : DEAD STORAGE
17VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
18. SITE SELECTION FOR COAL DEAD
STORAGE
POINTS TO REMEMBER :
1. The storage area should be free from standing water.
2. If well drainage is not available artificial drainage should be
provided.
3. It should be free from all foreign materials like wood, paper
rags, waste oil or material having low ignition temperature.
4. Handling cost should be minimum.
5. Pile should build up in successive layer and compact.
6. Pile should dressed to prevent entry of rainy water.
7. Alternative drying and wetting should avoided.
18VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
19. SITE SELECTION FOR COAL DEAD
STORAGE (contd.)
8. Stoker size coal should be oil treated to prevent absorption of
water, O2, and compaction which is not needed.
9. Side of pile should not be steep.
10. Air may circulate freely through pile for proper ventilation to
keep temperatures low.
11. Hot surfaces or boiler blow down or hot water or steam pipes
and tanks should far from coal storage.
12. Hot bright days are to be avoided.
13. There should be provision for temperature measurement at
different points.
14. Conical piling should be avoided.
15. Fire fighting equipment should be easily available.
19VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA

20VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
21. DESIGN OF INPLANT COAL HANDLING
SYSTEM
POINTS TO REMEMBER :
1. Simple and sound, requiring minimum operations and
transportation.
2. No double handling of coal in plant.
3. Handling unit should be centralized to facilitate inspection
and maintenance.
4. Electric motors can be used as driver of mechanism.
5. Working parts should be enclosed to avoid abrasion and
corrosion.
6. System should be able to supply required quantity of coal as
per demand.
21VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
25. CRUSHING OF COAL
Coal is crushed in two stages. In the first stage the
300mm size is reduced to 100 to 75mm and in the
second stage from 75 to 100mm to below 6mm.
In figure double roller crusher, single roller
crusher and rotary breaker is shown.
25VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
26. VIBRATING SEPARATOR
Sizer or vibrating separator is fitted after crusher to screen the coal
crushed below set size. Over size coal is returned to crusher for
further proper crushing. Generally it separates out oversize coal of

ī¯ Not suitable for high capacity boilers (200 tonnes/hr
or more) as small amount of coal is carried in the
grate.
ī¯ Clinker problem â common. 46VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
51. ADVANTAGES OF UNIT SYSTEM
īŽ It is simple in layout and cheaper than central system.
īŽ The coal transportation system is simple.
īŽ It allows direct control of combustion from the pulverize.
īŽ The maintenance charges are less as spares required are
less.
īŽ In the replacement of stokers, the old conveyor system can
be used without much alteration.
īŽ Coal which requires drying for satisfactory function of the
central system is generally supplied without drying in the
unit system.
īŽ It affords better control of fuel feed into the boiler
furnace.
51VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
52. DISADVANTAGES OF UNIT SYSTEM
īŽ The mill operates at variable load as per the load on the power
plant which results in poor performance of the pulverising mill
(more power consumption per ton of coal at part load).
īŽ The total capacity of all mills must be higher than that for the
central system with the load factors common in practice.
īŽ The degree of flexibility is less than of central system.
īŽ The fault in the preparation unit may put the entire steam
generator out of use because no storage of pulverize coal.
īŽ Strict maintenance is desired as the operation of the plant directly
depends upon the pulverizing mill.
īŽ There is excessive wear and tear of the primary fan blades as it
handles air and coal particles.
52VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
54. ADVANTAGES OF CENTRALIZED
SYSTEM
ī¯ Central system is flexible and changes can be made to
accommodate quick changes in demand.
ī¯ There is always a supply of fuel available in reserve in the boiler
bunkers.
ī¯ Since any mill can be used to supply to any boiler, the outage of
parts of the mills or even a short outage of entire pulverizing plant
will not cause a boiler plant outage.
ī¯ Pulverizer mills always runs at its rated load irrespective of the
load on the plant, therefore its power consumption per ton of coal
crushed per hour is less and capacity of mill required less
comparatively.
54VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
55. ADVANTAGES OF CENTRALIZED
SYSTEM (contd.)
ī¯ Pulverizer can be shutdown when sufficient reserve capacity
has been achieved. During peak load, this reserve capacity
can fulfill excess demand of coal.
ī¯ Good control over fineness of coal.
ī¯ There is greater degree of flexibility as the quantity of fuel
and air can be separately controlled.
ī¯ Burners can be operated independently of the operation of
coal preparation.
ī¯ Primary fan can handle only air so no problem of excessive
wear of blades.
ī¯ More flexibility of fitting of burners.
55VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
56. DISADVANTAGES OF
CENTRALIZED SYSTEM
ī¯ Higher initial cost and
ī¯ Occupies a large space due bulky storage bin
ī¯ High auxiliary power consumption. So power
consumption/ton of coal is more then unit system
ī¯ Possibility of fire hazard due to the storage of
pulverized coal.
ī¯ Complex coal transportation system.
ī¯ Driers are essential.
56VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
57. DISADVANTAGES OF
CENTRALIZED SYSTEM (contd.)
ī¯ Operation and maintenance cost are higher
then unit system.
Note: bin system is not adopted in large capacity
plants because of dangers from EXPLOSION of
coal air mixture and tendency of stored
pulverized fuel to cake. Also it required more
maintenance, losses of coal through vent, high
initial cost, high operating cost.
So universally Unit System is adopted for large
capacity power plants.

77VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
78. ADVANTAGES OF CYCLONE
BURNER
ī¯ Crushed coal is used. So, no pulverizing equipment.
ī¯ Removes most of the ash, about 60% as molten slag.
Hence, only 40% of the ash leaves with flue gases (in
pulverized coal firing, 80% of ash goes with flue
gases).
ī¯ Reduces erosion and fowling of steam generator
surface due to low ash content in flue gases.
ī¯ Best results in low grade fuels like Indian Coal.

104. DUST COLLECTORS â WHY ?
ī¯ Flue gas exhaust contains fly ash.
ī¯ Flue gas exhaust in pulverized coal fired
boilers contains 80% of ash content of
coal.
ī¯ Fly ash is very fine â most of the
particles can pass through a 300 mesh
(40m) screen â particle size varies from
1m to 80m â basic difficulty in handling.104VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
105. DUST COLLECTORS â WHY ?
(contd.)
ī¯ Fly ash pollutes atmosphere â harms human,
animal and plant health.
ī¯ So, concentration of fly ash in flue gas must be
brought down to below 0.5 g/m3, before
discharging into atmosphere.
ī¯ High ash content in Indian coals â about 25% -
50%.
ī¯ A 200 MW plant using pulverized coal produces
about 250T of fly ash per day. 105VANITA THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
