Durgapur Steel Thermal Power Station is located in Andal, West Bengal with an installed capacity of 2x500 MW (1x140 MW and 1x210 MW currently operational). It generates electricity through the combustion of coal which creates steam to power turbines connected to generators. Key components include the coal handling plant, boilers, turbines, generator, condenser, cooling towers, and ash handling plant. The plant is highly automated using PLC controllers to monitor and control operations.
In India 65% of total power is generated by the Thermal Power Stations . Main parts of the plant are 1. Coal conveyor 2. Pulverizer 3.Boiler 4. Coal ash 5. Air preheater 7. Electrostatic precipitator 8. Smoke stack 9. Turbine 10. Condenser 11. Transformers 12. Cooling towers 13. Generator 14. High votge power lines
BASIC OPERATION : A thermal power plant basically works on Rankine cycle . COAL CONVEYOR : This is a belt type of arrangement.With this coal is transported from coal storage place in power plant to the place near by boiler.
STOKER : The coal which is brought near by boiler has to put in boiler furnance for combustion. This stoker is a mechanical device for feeding coal to a furnace. PULVERIZER : The coal is put in the boiler after pulverization.For this pulverizer is used. A pulverizer is a device for grinding coal for combustion in a furnace in a power plant .An impact mill is used for this purpose.
BOILER : pulverized coal is put in boiler furnance in which water is heated and circulated until the water is turned in to steam at the required pressure. Coal is burned inside the combustion chamber of boiler. These gases which are at high temperature vaporize the water inside the boiler to steam.
SUPERHEATER : Superheater is a component of a steam-generating unit in which steam, after it has left the boiler drum, is heated above its saturation temperature. The amount of superheat added to the steam is influenced by the location, arrangement, and amount of superheater surface installed, as well as the rating of the boiler Superheaters are classified as convection , radiant or combination of these.
REHEATER : .Reheater is also steam boiler component in which heat is added to this intermediate-pressure steam, which has given up some of its energy in expansion through the high-pressure turbine. The steam after reheating is used to rotate the second steam turbine where the heat is converted to mechanical energy.
CONDENSER : Steam after rotating steam turbine comes to condenser. Condenser refers here to the shell and tube heat exchanger installed at the outlet of every steam turbine in Thermal power stations. These condensers are heat exchangers which convert steam from its gaseous to its liquid state. In so doing, the latent heat of steam is given out inside the condenser .
COOLING TOWERS : The condensate water after condensation is initially at high temperature. This hot water is passed to cooling towers. It is a tower in which atmospheric air circulates in direct or indirect contact with warmer water and the water is thereby cooled. Water, acting as the heat-transfer fluid, gives up heat to atmospheric air, and thus cooled, is recirculated through the system.
ECONOMISER : Flue gases coming out of the boiler carry lot of heat. Function of economiser is to recover some of the heat from the heat carried away in the flue gases up the chimney and utilize for heating the feed water to the boiler. It is placed in the passage

A thermal power station is a power plant in which the prime mover is steam driven. Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser and recycled to where it was heated; this is known as a Rankine cycle. The greatest variation in the design of thermal power stations is due to the different fossil fuel resources generally used to heat the water. Some prefer to use the term energy center because such facilities convert forms of heat energy into electrical energy.[1] Certain thermal power plants also are designed to produce heat energy for industrial purposes of district heating, or desalination of water, in addition to generating electrical power. Globally, fossil fueled thermal power plants produce a large part of man-made CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, and efforts to reduce these are varied and widespread.

Editor's Notes
Good Afternoon, esteemed professor and my beloved friends. Thank you for this opportunity to talk about Durgapur Steel Thermal Power Station or DSTPS, based on my two week vocational training..
DSTPS is a 2x500 MW power station, one of the eight power stations under Damodar Valley Corporation, situated at Andal. It is a pioneer in technological advancement of Thermal Power Generation, currently running at 35 % of its maximum capacity.
Thermal Power Generation involves 3 stages of energy transformations. Chemical Energy stored in fuel is converted to heat energy, that is further converted to rotational energy of the turbine, which in turn produces electrical energy.
A power plant has 3 major raw materials. Water is used for steam generation, cooling and other domestic purposes after conditioning. The fuels, coal and oil, participate in combustion with the help of air, to produce the necessary heat, and then is carried out of the chimney as flue gas.
For every 1MW produced, water is consumed at 4 m3/hr. DSPTS requires 4000 m3/hr at its maximum capacity. This water is pumped from the Damodar River 13 kms away and is used for various purposes like water-steam cycle, cooling cycles, drinking etc. The water is first stored in a reservoir for sedimentation, following which it undergoes aeration to remove dissolved organic gases and fouling, chlorination to kill germs, and clarification to reduce turbidity by adding alum solution. The only impurities at this point are the dissolved ions and colloidal silica, which are removed at DM Plant. The clarified water itself is used for cooling water and domestic purposes.
DM Plant, or the de-mineralization plant has several stages. The ACF removes excess chlorine and organic matters to prevent fouling of the resins in SAC. SAC exchanges all the cations with H+ ion, while SBA exchanges all anions with hydroxide. The mixed bed takes care of any leftover ions. After this stage, only colloidal silica remains in the water, which is removed by passing pressurized water through a membrane. The DM Water is then stored in tanks and supplied as required.
The next major raw material, Coal, arrives in rail wagons, which are emptied by track hoppers and wagon tipplers. Coal is sized to less than 20 mm, and then stored or sent to the bunkers using conveyor belts. These are fed to the coal burners of the boiler after pulverizing as per requirement.
Coal received from the bunker via a gravimetric feeder enters the mill through the central feed tube into the rotating bowl. The coal particles move out due to centrifugal action and gets crushed under the rollers and is carried upwards by the air, through the classifier. Coal dust of 175 mesh size is allowed to discharge, while the rest falls back in the inner cone. The air, called primary air, is preheated by the flue gas to get rid of any moisture.
The boiler, called the mother plant, is a hanging type, vertical, water-tube boiler, with 4-corner tangential firing. That is, fuel is fired from 4 corners of the boiler, tangential to the fireball. Water from BFP passes through the economizer to the boiler drum, from where, it circulates through the water walls, divisional panels, and finally superheater before moving out to the HP Turbine. There is also Hot Reheat and Cold Reheat panels for reheating.
Both primary air and secondary air are heated by the outgoing flue gases, which increases the thermal efficiency of the plant. The feedwater is also heated by the flue gases in the economizer. Superheaters are placed nearest to the heat source within the boiler to increase work output. The reheaters heat steam once between HP and IP turbine, ie, hot reheat, and again between IP and LP turbines, called cold reheat.
There are three turbines, one high pressure turbine with 17 stages, another intermediate pressure turbine which is a double flow turbine with 12 stages in each flow. The third, Low pressure turbine, is also a double flow turbine with 6 stages per flow.
The turbine-generator along with various auxiliaries are stationed at 17 m height. The primary coolant used in the exciter is hydrogen gas, which is further cooled by water. The generator uses a brushless excitation system.
The first HP heater is the de-aerator itself, for which steam is extracted from IP turbine’s 12th stage. For the next 2 HP heaters, steam is extracted from IP Turbine’s 7th stage and from cold reheater’s exit. The LP heaters extract steam from the LP turbine’s 5th, 3rd and 2nd stages. There are two boiler feed pumps, one that is driven by a turbine of its own, and one driven by electricity, ie, motor. The motor-driven pump comes to play during startup of the plant when there is no steam available.
Condenser is basically a heat exchanger. There are numerous tubes. Cooling water is made to flow once through the bottom tubes and then again back through the upper tubes. The exhaust steam enters through the top, exchanges heat, changes phase and settles as condensate in the bottom, called the hotwell. In case of a leakage, the leaking tube is sealed in both ends.
The cooling water from various equipments are are collected and the heat is rejected to the atmosphere. The hot water is sprayed from the top, The venturi shaped cooling towers create a natural draft for air, that absorbs the heat and water vapours and takes them along. Clarified water is added to make-up for the lost water.
The residue from the boiler, ie, ash must be cleaned periodically and effectively for proper functioning of the power station. The ash deposited at the bottom of the boiler is collected by two PLC-operated bottom ash hoppers that are emptied every 4 hours. The ash is carried away in the form of slurry after grinding. Fly ash is collected by electrostatic precipitation and is collected using vacuum pumps in dry mode, or as slurry in wet mode. These are given away to local cement factories, stored in ash ponds.
DSTPS flaunts a highly automated Power Generation System consisting of various sensors, automatic control mechanisms, PLC controllers, etc. All activities are constantly monitored by Scada systems in control rooms, supervised by technical personnel.
In conclusion, the vocational training was an enlightening experience. Connecting the gap between college books and control room screens. I’ve seen and known a lot of things about the working of a full-fledged power station, the various cycles, and auxiliary systems to keep it running smoothly.
