5. Thermal Power Plant Part’s And Working- (Coal To
Electricity)

6. COAL HANDLING
PLANT(CHP)
• As coal is the primary input of a thermal
power plant, adequate emphasis needs to be
given for its proper handling and storage.
• It is equally important to have a sustained
flow of this fuel to maintain uninterrupted
power generation.
• To produce 1MW of energy around 4 ton of
coal is required

7. • GCV(Gross Calorific Values) and Annual Contracted Quantity(ACQ 1.7 Crore Mt. Ton) is already decided as
per agreement.
• Daily on an average around 8,500 Tone of Coal is
required for a typical 500 MW Station. Size of coal should be less than 250mm and be of high grade coal.
• The required coal is supplied through Rail wagon. If the
power station is away from coal mines then it is fed
through Indian Railway system other wise for pit head
station it is done through Merry Go Round railway system.
Each coal rake consists of Bottom open Broad Gauge wagons (BOBR) hauled by one/two locomotive.
• A sampling unit suitable size coal is provided at the feed point of the loading silo to collect samples for quality
analysis .
• The loading operation of the coal rake takes place while it is moving under the silo at a speed of 0.8 k.m. per
hr.
• Wagons are provided with bottom discharge hoppers fitted with pneumatically operated automatic door
actuating mechanism.
• Line side equipment is installed by the track hopper for initiating the opening of doors in groups of 10-14
wagons. The unloading operation of 60 tonnes per load wagon takes about 20/30 seconds
COAL TRANSPORTATION-

8. Coal loading-

9. • At NTPC end, Coal is unloaded in the Track hoppers.
• Track Hopper, normally of 200-250m length.
• After placing the wagons on the hopper, electrical pulse is given to the pneumatic
device for opening the bottom doors.
• Coal rushes down due to its own weight.
• When the track hopper is empty, it takes only 20 seconds for unloading one wagon i.e.
60 Tons.
• This coal falls on a ‘T’ table, over which a paddle feeder runs and pushes the coal on to
a conveyor
Coal unloading-

10. TRACK HOPPER

11. • Coal handling system is the arrangement for transferring of
coal from coal-wagons to coal-bunker or coal stock yard.
• It also provide arrangement for separation of material
impurities, crushing of coals, Coal sampling etc.
• In the coal handling system of NTPC stations, three coal paths are normally available
Path A - direct conveying of coal from track hopper to boiler bunkers.
Path B - from track hopper to stockyard
Path C - from stockyard to boiler bunkers.
• The storage facilities at the stockyards have been provided only for crushed coal.
