This document summarizes a study of a thermal power plant located in Tanda, India. It describes the basic processes and equipment involved in a thermal power plant, including coal handling, boiler, turbine, electrostatic precipitator, switchgear, and control and instrumentation units. The key cycles in a power plant are identified as the steam, feedwater, condensate water, primary air, flue gas, and secondary air cycles. The goal of the control and instrumentation unit is safe, low-cost, and efficient operation while minimizing environmental impacts. Advantages of thermal power plants are listed as using inexpensive fuel, lower initial costs than other plants, ability to be located independently of fuel source, and lower generation costs than diesel

2. CONTENTS
 Brief description of Tanda thermal project
 Production of electricity
 Basic power plant cycle
 Description of thermal plant
 Different cycles of a power plant
 Important equipment of plant
 Control and instrumentation unit

3. Brief description of Tanda thermal project
 The Tanda Thermal Power Project is located about
185kms from Lucknow. It is nearly 55kms from
Faizabad. The nearest rail ahead is Akhbarpur (now
called as Ambedkarnagar). The project lies in the
Ambedkarnagar district and is about 22kms from the
nearest railway station

4. COAL HANDLING PLANT
 Coal needs to be stored
at various stages of the
preparation process, and
conveyed around the
CPP facilities. Coal
handling is part of the
larger field of bulk
material handling, and is
a complex and vital part
of the CPP.

5. BOILER
 A boiler is closed
vessel in which
water is converted
into steam by
utilising the heat of
coal combustion.

6. TURBINE
 A steam turbine is a
mechanical device that
extracts thermal energy
from pressurized steam,
and converts it into
mechanical energy

7. ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR

8. SWITCH GEAR
The term switchgear,
used in association with
the electric power
system, or grid, refers to
the combination of
electrical
disconnects, fuses and/o
r circuit breakers used to
isolate electrical
equipment.

13. 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 transported to the
site of the plant by rail or road.
 It require less space as compared to Hydro power
plants.
 Cost of generation is less than that of diesel power
plants.
