NTPC Tanda power plant has a current installed capacity of 440 MW across 4 units, with plans to expand to 1720 MW total through the addition of 2 new 660 MW units. It sources coal from the North Karnpura coal fields and water from the Tanda Canal of the Saryu River. The main departments include the coal handling plant, boiler, superheater, turbine, generator, condenser, and cooling tower. Ash produced is utilized for construction materials and agriculture. Thermal power plants have advantages of low initial cost and fuel availability but also have disadvantages of atmospheric pollution and high running costs.

2. ABOUT NTPC
• NTPCis the largest power generating company in india, was setup
in 1975to accelerate power development in the country.
• NTPChas installed capacity of (43803 MW).
• NTPChas 16 coal based power stations (31182MW).
• NTPChas 7 gas based power stations (4017MW).
• NTPChas 7 power stations in joint ventures (8604MW).
• In1997 ,Government of india granted NTPCstatus of ‘Navratna’.

3. ABOUT NTPC, TANDA
• Tanda Thermal Power Station is located inAmbedkar Nagar district in the
Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The power plant is one of the coal based
power plants of NTPC.
• Inthe year 2000,Uttar Pradesh State Electricity Board (U.P.S.E.B.)
transferred Tanda Thermal Power Plant to NTPCLimited against
payment overdue.
• After that this plant, because of the better maintenance by NTPC Limited,
this power plant has crossed its Plant Load Factor (P.L.F) to more than
100%.

7. OPERATION OF
THERMALPOWER PLANT

8. MAIN DEPARTMENTS OF PLANT
•Coal handling plant
•Boiler
•Superheater
•Turbine
•Generator
•Condenser
•Cooling Tower

9. COAL HANDLING PLANT
• The function of coal handling plant
is automatic feeding of coal to the
boiler furnace.
• Athermal power plantburns
enormous amountsof coal.
• A200MW plant may require
around 2000 tons of coal daily
• following are the process of plant-:
1. Bunkering process
2. Unloading process
3. Feeding process
4. Screening process
5. Crushing process

10. •Aboiler or steam generator is
a closed vessel to which water
under pressure,is converted
into steam.
•It is one of the major
components of a thermal power
plant.
•Always designed toabsorb
maximum amount of heat
released in the process of
combustion.
BOILER

11. SUPER HEATER
•Adevice which moves last traces
of moisture.
•It helps in reduction in
requirement of steamquantity.
•Steam being dry reduces the
mechanical resistance ofturbine.
•No corrosion at the Turbine
blades.

12. TURBINE
•Asteam turbine converts heat energy
of steam into mechanical energy and
drives the generator.
• It uses the principle that steam when
issuing from a small opening attains a
high velocity.
•This velocity attained during
expansion depends on the initial and
final heat content of the steam.
•This difference b/w initial and final
heat content represents the heat energy
converted intokinetic energy.
•These are of two types :-
1. Impulse turbine
2. Reaction turbine

13. GENERATOR
•The Synchronus Generator is used to generate power by connecting the
shaft of the Turbine to the shaft of the generator which create the magnetic
flux producing Emf.
•The generated voltage will generally 33 KVto 11 KVmax.
•the generated Voltage is stepped up by connecting Step up transformerand
is also used for auxilliarypurpose.

14. CONDENSER
• Which condenses the steam at
the exhaustof turbine.
• It creates a very low
pressure at the exhaust of
turbine, this helps in
converting heat energy of
steam into mechanical
energy in the prime mover.
• The condensed steam can
be used as feed water to the
boiler.

15. COOLING TOWER
• Remove heat from the water
discharged from the condenser
so that the water can be
discharged to the river or re
circulated and reused.
• Air can be circulated in the
cooling towers through natural
draft and mechanical draft.

16. UTILISATION OF SECONDARY RAW
MATERIAL (ASH)
• Construction of embankments and fills
• Construction of road in sub-base
• Manufacture of cement
• Manufacture of bricks/blocks
• Filling as flowable fill material
• Agriculture as soil amendment/source of essential plant
nutrients

17. ADVANTAGES
•The fuel used is quite cheap.
•Less initial cost as compared to other generating plants.
•It can be installed at any place irrespective of the existence
of coal.
•The coal can be easily transported to the site
•It require less space as compared to Hydro power plants.
•Cost of generation is less than that of diesel power plants.

18. DISADVANTAGES
•It pollutes the atmosphere due to production of large amount of
smoke and fumes.
•It is costlier in running cost as compared to Hydro electric
plants.
•Maintenance cost ismore.
