Thermal Power Plant - Full Detail About Plant and Parts (Also Contain Animate...Shubham Thakur
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.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

2.3 TARGET AND CHALLENGES
2.3.1 [TARGET]
The project is being built by Prayagraj Power Generation, a power generation subsidiary of the
privately owned Jaypee Group, a major Indian infrastructure company with interests in Civil
Engineering and Construction, Cement, Power, Real Estate, Expressways, Hospitality, Golf Courses
and Education. According to Jaypee Group (2011), the project will be built in two Phases. Phase 1,
comprising three 660 MW units, is slated to be commissioned in 2015. JPV bought the Prayagraj
Power Generation Company, a special purpose project company created by the Uttar Pradesh Power
Corporation to build the Bara project on a 'build, own, operate' basis.
According to the 2010/2011 annual report, the company was in possession of the 778 hectares
needed for the project and had received the necessary environmental clearance, water linkage, and
coal linkage. Boiler foundations were completed and other construction works was underway.
Financial closure had been achieved.
According to the JP Power Ventures website (2014), Phase I is planned for completion by
2014. However, as of 2015 Phase I is under construction with Unit 1 planned for October 2015 and
units 2-3 in 2016, according to the India Central Electrical Authority.
Phase II would comprise two 660 MW units. As of August 2015 phase II has yet to receive
environmental permits, and appears to be deferred or abandoned.
.
2.3.2 [Challenge]
Both the Bara project and the nearby Karchana Thermal Power Project (now cancelled) have been
the subject of local opposition and agitation. The Environmental Justice Atlas reported that protests
at the Bara project in January 2011 damaged "police vehicles to protest against land acquisition
policies." Additionally, protesters claimed one farmer was killed in police firing, a charge denied by
the Uttar Pradesh government. It was reported in February 2011 that villagers ransacked and
damaged property at the project site. The protesters had reportedly inflicted damage worth Rs 1
crore.
3. ABOUT THE COMPANY
9. IX
Bara Thermal Power Project is 92.53% owned by Jaypee Group of Industries. The project is situated
at Bara in Allahabad district of the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. The first phase of 1980 MW is
expected to commence operations in 2014. The second phase of a 3300 MW thermal power plant is
under construction. Some land owners, whose land was acquired for the project, were reportedly
sitting on fast demanding better compensation for their agricultural land. The farmers claimed the
company had promised job to one person of every family, whose land was being acquired, but it had
not been fulfilled. Protesters went on a rampage damaging police vehicles to protest against land
acquisition policies in January 2011. The agitators also alleged one farmer was killed in police firing,
a charge denied by the Uttar Pradesh government. Protesters had damage worth Rs 1 crore to the
company after they smashed computers, vehicles and damaged the mess and other facilities. The
protesters are demanding jobs in the project and a rehabilitation allowance of Rs 62,500 which is
given to labourers displaced by a project. Apprehending more trouble, the company shifted some of
the equipment to nearby Madhya Pradesh.

4. BASIC POWER PLANT CYCLE : RANKINE CYCLE
10. X
The Rankine cycle is a cycle that converts heat into work. The heat is supplied externally to a closed
loop, which usually uses water. This cycle generates about 80% of all electric power used throughout
the world, including virtually all solar thermal, biomass, coal and nuclear power plants. It is named
after William John Macquorn Rankine, a Scottish polymath. The Rankine cycle is the fundamental
thermodynamic underpinning of the steam engine.
5. BOILER : A boiler is the central or an important component of the thermal power plant which
focuses on producing superheated steams that is used for running of the turbines which in turn is
used for the generation of electricity. A boiler is a closed vessel in which the heat produced by the
11. XI
combustion of fuel is transferred to water for its conversation into steam of the desired temperature
& pressure.
The heat-generating unit includes a furnace in which the fuel is burned. With the advantage of water-
cooled furnace walls, super heaters, air heaters and economizers, the term steam generator was
evolved as a better description of the apparatus.
Boilers may be classified on the basis of any of the following characteristics:
Use
Use: The characteristics of the boiler vary according to the nature of service performed.
Customarily boiler is called either stationary or mobile. Large units used primarily for electric power
generation are known as control station steam generator or utility plants.
Pressure: To provide safety control over construction features, all boilers must be constructed in
accordance with the Boiler codes, which differentiates boiler as per their characteristics.
Materials: Selection of construction materials is controlled by boiler code material specifications.
Power boilers are usually constructed of special steels.
Size: Rating code for boiler standardize the size and ratings of boilers based on heating surfaces. The
same is verified by performance tests.
12. XII
Tube Contents: In addition to ordinary shell type of boiler, there are two general steel boiler
classifications, the fire tube and water tube boilers. Fire tube boiler is boilers with straight tubes that
are surrounded by water and through which the products of combustion pass. Water tube boilers are
those, in which the tubes themselves contain steam or water, the heat being applied to the outside
surface.
Firing: The boiler may be a fired or unfired pressure vessel. In fired boilers, the heat applied is a
product of fuel combustion. A non-fired boiler has a heat source other than combustion.
Heat Source: The heat may be derived from (1) the combustion of fuel (2) the hot gasses of other
chemical reactions (3) the utilization of nuclear energy.
Fuel: Boilers are often designated with respect to the fuel burned.
Fluid: The general concept of a boiler is that of a vessel to generate steam. A few utilities plants have
installed mercury boilers.
Circulation: The majority of boilers operate with natural circulation. Some utilize positive circulation
in which the operative fluid may be forced 'once through' or controlled with partial circulation.
Furnace Position: The boiler is an external combustion device in which the combustion takes place
outside the region of boiling water. The relative location of the furnace to the boiler is indicated by
the description of the furnace as being internally or externally fired.
Furnace type: The boiler may be described in terms of the furnace type.
General Shape: During the evaluation of the boiler as a heat producer, many new shapes and designs
have appeared and these are widely recognized in the trade.
Trade Name: Many manufacturers coin their own name for each boiler and these names come into
common usage as being descriptive of the boiler.
Special features: some times the type of boiler like differential firing and Tangential firing are
described.
5.1 CategorizationofBoilers:
Boilers are generally categorized as follows:
13. XIII
• Steel boilers
• Fire Tube type
• Water tube type
• Horizontal Straight tube
5.2 The main components of a boiler and their functions are given below:
5.2.1 DRUM: It is a type of storage tank much higher placed than the level at which the boiler is
placed, and it is also a place where water and steam are separated. First the drum is filled with water
coming from the economizer, from where it is brought down with the help of down-comers, entering
the bottom ring headers. From there they enter the riser, which are nothing but tubes that carries the
water (which now is a liquid-vapor mixture), back to the drum. Now, the steam is sent to the super
heaters while the saturated liquid water is again circulated through the down-comers and then
subsequently through the risers till all the water in the drum turns into steam and passes to the next
stage of heating that is superheating.
5.2.2 SUPER HEATERS: The steam from the boiler drum is then sent for superheating. This takes
place in three stages. In the first stage, the steam is sent to a simple super heater, known as the low
temperature super heaters (LTSH), after which the second stage consists of several divisional panels
super heaters (DPSH). The final stage involves further heating in the Platen super heaters (PLSH),
after which the steam is sent through the Main Steam (MS) piping for driving the turbine.
5.2.3 WATER WALLS: The water from the bottom ring header is then transferred to the water
walls, where the first step in the formation of steam occurs by absorbing heat from the hot interior of
the boiler where the coal is burned continuously. This saturated water steam mixture then enters the
boiler drum.
5.2.4 ECONOMIZER: The economizer is a tube-shaped structure which contains water from the
boiler feed pump. This water is heated up by the hot flue gases which pass through the economizer
layout, which then enters the drum. The economizer is usually placed below the second pass of the
boiler, below the Low Temperature Super heater. As the flue gases are being constantly produced
due to the combustion of coal, the water in the economizer is being continuously being heated up,
resulting in the formation of steam to a partial extent. Economizer tubes are supported in such a way
that sagging, deflection & expansion will not occur at any condition of operation.
5.2.5 DEAERATOR: A deaerator is a device that is widely used for the removal of air and other
dissolved gases from the feedwater to steam-generating boilers. In particular, dissolved oxygen in
boiler feedwaters will cause serious corrosion damage in steam systems by attaching to the walls of
14. XIV
metal piping and other metallic equipment and forming oxides (rust). Water also combines with any
dissolved carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid that causes further corrosion. Most deaerators are
designed to remove oxygen down to levels of 7 ppb by weight (0.005 cm³/L) or less.
5.3 SPECIFICATIONOF BOILER IN PPGCL:

6.TURBINE: A turbine is a turbomachine with at least one moving part called a rotor assembly,
which is a shaft or drum with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades so that they move and
impart rotational energy to the rotor.
But in thermal power plant the turbine use as called steam turbine.
Steam Turbine: A steam turbine is a device which extracts thermal energy from
pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. Its modern
manifestation was invented by Sir Charles Parsons in 1884.
Because the turbine generates rotary motion, it is particularly suited to be used to drive an electrical
generator – about 90% of all electricity generation in the United States (1996) is by use of steam
turbines. The steam turbine is a form of heat engine that derives much of its improvement
in thermodynamic efficiency from the use of multiple stages in the expansion of the steam, which
results in a closer approach to the ideal reversible expansion process.
Fig 5. Steam Turbine in PPGCL
24. XXIV
6.1 Types of Steam Turbine:
6.1.1 Impulse turbines: An impulse turbine has fixed nozzles that orient the steam flow into high
speed jets. These jets contain significant kinetic energy, which is converted into shaft rotation by the
bucket-like shaped rotor blades, as the steam jet changes direction. A pressure drop occurs across
only the stationary blades, with a net increase in steam velocity across the stage. As the steam flows
through the nozzle its pressure falls from inlet pressure to the exit pressure (atmospheric pressure, or
more usually, the condenser vacuum). Due to this high ratio of expansion of steam, the steam leaves
the nozzle with a very high velocity. The steam leaving the moving blades has a large portion of the
maximum velocity of the steam when leaving the nozzle. The loss of energy due to this higher exit
velocity is commonly called the carry over velocity or leaving loss.
6.1.2 Reaction turbines: In the reaction turbine, the rotor blades themselves are arranged to form
convergent nozzles. This type of turbine makes use of the reaction force produced as the steam
accelerates through the nozzles formed by the rotor. Steam is directed onto the rotor by the fixed
vanes of the stator. It leaves the stator as a jet that fills the entire circumference of the rotor. The
steam then changes direction and increases its speed relative to the speed of the blades. A pressure
drop occurs across both the stator and the rotor, with steam accelerating through the stator and
decelerating through the rotor, with no net change in steam velocity across the stage but with a
decrease in both pressure and temperature, reflecting the work performed in the driving of the rotor.
6.2 Operation and maintenance of steam turbine: Because of the high pressures used in the steam
circuits and the materials used, steam turbines and their casings have high thermal inertia. When
warming up a steam turbine for use, the main steam stop valves (after the boiler) have a bypass line
to allow superheated steam to slowly bypass the valve and proceed to heat up the lines in the system
along with the steam turbine. Also, a turning gear is engaged when there is no steam to slowly rotate
the turbine to ensure even heating to prevent uneven expansion. After first rotating the turbine by the
turning gear, allowing time for the rotor to assume a straight plane (no bowing), then the turning gear
is disengaged and steam is admitted to the turbine, first to the astern blades then to the ahead blades
slowly rotating the turbine at 10–15 RPM (0.17–0.25 Hz) to slowly warm the turbine. The warm up
procedure for large steam turbines may exceed ten hours.
During normal operation, rotor imbalance can lead to vibration, which, because of the high rotation
velocities, could lead to a blade breaking away from the rotor and through the casing. To reduce this
risk, considerable efforts are spent to balance the turbine. Also, turbines are run with high quality
steam: either superheated (dry) steam, or saturated steam with a high dryness fraction. This prevents
the rapid impingement and erosion of the blades which occurs when condensed water is blasted onto
the blades (moisture carry over). Also, liquid water entering the blades may damage the thrust
bearings for the turbine shaft. To prevent this, along with controls and baffles in the boilers to ensure
high quality steam, condensate drains are installed in the steam piping leading to the turbine.
25. XXV
Maintenance requirements of modern steam turbines are simple and incur low costs (typically around
$0.005 per kWh); their operational life often exceeds 50 years.
6.3 Specificationof SteamTurbine in PPGCL:
6.3.1 Rating of Steam Turbine:
27. XXVII
7. GENERATOR: An Electrical generator is a device that converts kinetic energy to electrical
energy, generally using electromagnetic induction. The task of converting the electrical energy into
mechanical energy is accomplished by using a motor. The source of mechanical energy maybe water
falling through the turbine or steam turning a turbine (as is the case with thermal power plants).
There are several classifications for modern steam turbines. Steam turbines are used in our entire
major coal fired power stations to drive the generators or alternators, which produce electricity. The
turbines themselves are driven by steam generated in "boilers “or "steam generators" as they are
sometimes called. Electrical power stations use large steam turbines driving electric generators to
produce most (about 86%) of the world‟s electricity. These centralized stations are of two types:
fossil fuel power plants and nuclear power plants. The turbines used for electric power generation are
most often directly coupled to their-generators .As the generators must rotate at constant
synchronous speeds according to the frequency of the electric power system, the most common
speeds are 3000 r/min for 50 Hz systems, and 3600 r/min for 60 Hz systems. Most large nuclear sets
rotate at half those speeds, and have a 4-pole generator rather than the more common 2-pole one.

8. ASSOCIATED SYSTEMSIN A POWER PLANT :
8.1 PA FANS: The primary air fans are used to carry the pulverized coal particles from the mills to
the boiler. They are also used to maintain the coal-air temperature. The specifications of the PA fan
used at the plant under investigation are: axial flow, double stage, reaction fan.
8.2 FD FANS: The forced draft fans, also known as the secondary air fans are used to provide the
secondary air required for combustion, and to maintain the wind box differential pressure.
Specifications of the FD fans are: axial flow, single stage, impulse fan.
8.3 ID FAN:( An induced fan ) The main purpose of an ID fan is to suck the flue gas through all the
above mentioned equipments and to maintain the furnace pressure. ID fans use 1.41% of plant load
for a 500 MW plant.
8.4 AIR PRE-HEATERS: Air pre-heaters are used to take heat from the flue gases and transfer it to
the incoming air. They are of two types:
a) Regenerative b) Recuperative
8.5 ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS: They are used to separate the ash particles from the
flue gases. In this the flue gas is allowed into the ESP, where there are several metallic plates placed
at a certain distance from each other. When these gases enter, a very high potential difference is
applied, which causes the gas particles to ionize and stick to the plates, whereas the ash particles fall
down and are collected in a hopper attached to the bottom of the ESP. The flue gas is allowed to cool
down and is then released to the ID fan to be sent to the chimney.
8.6 MILL: As the name suggests the coal particles are grinded into finer sized granules. The coal
which is stored in the bunker is sent into the mill, through the conveyor belt which primarily controls
the amount of coal required to be sent to the furnace. It on reaching a rotating bowl in the bottom
encounters three grinding rolls which grinds it into fine powder form of approx. 200 meshes per
square inch. the fine coal powder along with the heated air from the FD and PA fan is carried into the
burner as pulverized coal while the trash particles are rejected through a reject system.
8.7 SEAL AIR FAN: The seal air fan is used near the mill to prevent the loss of any heat from the
coal which is in a pulverized state and to protect the bearings from coal particle deposition.
8.8 WIND BOX: these acts as distributing media for supplying secondary/excess air to the furnace
for combustion. These are generally located on the left and and right sides of the furnace while
facing the chimney.
8.9 IGNITER FAN: Igniter fans which are 2 per boiler are used to supply air for cooling Igniters &
combustion of igniter air fuel mixture.
30. XXX
8.10 CHIMNEY: These are tall RCC structures with single & multiple flues. Here, for I & II we
have 1 chimney, for unit III there is 1 chimney & for units IV & V there is 1 chimney. So number of
chimneys is 5 and the height of each is 275 metres.
8.11 COAL HANDLING PLANT: This part of the thermal power plant handles all the
requirements of coal that needs to be supplied to the plant for the continuous generation of
electricity. Coal is generally transported from coal mines ( mostly located in peninsular regions of
India ) to Thermal power plant with the help of rail wagons. A Single rail wagon can handle upto 80
tons of coal( gross weight) . When these rail wagons reach the thermal plant the coal is unloaded
with the help of wagon tipplers. A wagon tippler is actually a huge J shaped Link pinned at its top.
Powerful motors are used to pull the ropes attached to an end which lets the wagon to rotate at an
angle of 135 degree. The coal falls down due to action of gravity into the coal bunkers. Vibration
motors then are used to induce the movement the coal through its way. as the coal reaches the hopper
section of the bunker , it is taken away by conveyer belts to either the storage yard or to the assembly
points where the coal gets distributed on different conveyers. Initially, the size of coal is taken as
250mm in size. The macro coal has to be converted into micro ( 25mm ) size coal for the actual
combustion. This is attained by using high pressure crushers located at the coal handling plants. Here
various metal are separated by various mechanisms. There are various paths through which a coal
can go to boiler section. These paths are alternative such as A and B and only one is used at a time
letting the other standby.
8.12 COAL BUNKER: These are in process storage used for storing crushed coal from the coal
handling system. Generally, these are made up of welded steel plates. Normally, these are located on
top of mills to aid in gravity feeding of coal. There are 10 such bunkers corresponding to each mill.
8.13 ASH HANDLING PLANT: The ash produced in boiler is transported to ash dump area by
means of sluice type hydraulic ash handling system, which consists of:
8.13.1 Bottom Ash System: In the Bottom Ash system the ash slag discharged from the furnace
bottom is collected in two water impounded scraper troughs installed below bottom ash hoppers. The
ash is continuously, transported by means of the scraper chain conveyor, on to the respective clinker
grinders which reduce the lump sizes to the required fineness.
Fly Ash System: In this system, Fly ash gets collected in these hoppers drop continuously
to flushing apparatus where fly ash gets mixed with flushing water and the resulting slurry drops into
the ash sluice channel. Low pressure water is applied through the nozzle directing tangentially to the
section of pipe to create turbulence and proper mixing of ash with water.
8.13.3 Ash Water System: High pressure water required for B.A hopper quenching nozzles, B.A
hopper`s window spraying, clinker grinder sealing scraper bars, cleaning nozzles B.A hopper seal
through flushing, Economizer Hoppers` flushing nozzles and sluicing trench jetting nozzles is tapped
from the high pressure water ring main provided in the plant area.

8.13.4 Ash Slurry System: Bottom Ash and Fly Ash slurry of the system is sluiced up to ash
slurry pump along the channel with the aid oh high pressure water jets located at suitable intervals
along the channel. Slurry pump section line consisting of reducing elbow with drain valve, reducer
and butterfly valve and portion of slurry pump delivery line consisting of butterfly valve, Pipe and
fitting has also been provided.
8.14 REHEATER: The function of reheater is to reheat the steam coming out from the high
pressure turbine to a temperature of 540 degrees Celsius. It is composed of two sections: the rear
pendant section is located above the furnace arc & the front pendant section is located between the
rear water hanger tubes & the Platen superheater section.
8.15 BURNERS: There are total 20 pulverised coal burners for the boiler present here, & 10 of the
burners provided in each side at every elevation named as A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,J,K. There are oil
burners present in every elevation to fire the fuel oil (LDO & HFO) during lightup.
9. Ways to increase the thermal efficiencyof power plants:
The basic idea behind all the modifications to increase the thermal efficiency of a power cycle is the
same: Increase the average temperature at which heat is transferred to the working fluid in the
boiler, or decrease the average temperature at which heat is rejected from the working fluid in
the condenser. That is, the average fluid temperature should be as high as possible during heat
addition and as low as possible during heat rejection.
9.1 Lowering the Condenser Pressure (Lowers Tlow,avg): Steam exists as a saturated mixture in
the condenser at the saturation temperature corresponding to the pressure inside the condenser.
Therefore, lowering the operating pressure of the condenser automatically lowers the temperature of
the steam, and thus the temperature at which heat is rejected. The effect of lowering the condenser
pressure on the Rankine cycle efficiency is illustrated on a T-s diagram in Fig.1. For comparison
purposes, the turbine inlet state is maintained the same. The colored area on this diagram represents
the increase in net work output as a result of lowering the condenser pressure from P4 to P4’. The
heat input requirements also increase (represented by the area under curve 2_-2), but this increase is
very small. Thus the overall effect of lowering the condenser pressure is an increase in the thermal
efficiency of the cycle.

9.2 Superheating the Steam to High Temperatures (Increases Thigh,avg): The average
temperature at which heat is transferred to steam can be increased without increasing the boiler
pressure by superheating the steam to high temperatures. The effect of superheating on the
performance of vapor power cycles is illustrated on a T-s diagram in Fig.2. The colored area on this
diagram represents the increase in the net work. The total area under the process curve 3-3_
represents the increase in the heat input. Thus both the net work and heat input increase as a result of
superheating the steam to a higher temperature. The overall effect is an increase in thermal
efficiency, however, since the average temperature at which heat is added increases.

33. XXXIII
9.3 Increasing the Boiler Pressure (Increases Thigh,avg): Another way of increasing the average
temperature during the heat-addition process is to increase the operating pressure of the boiler, which
automatically raises the temperature at which boiling takes place. This, in turn, raises the average
temperature at which heat is transferred to the steam and thus raises the thermal efficiency of the
cycle. The effect of increasing the boiler pressure on the performance of vapor power cycles is
illustrated on a T-s diagram in Fig.3. Notice that for a fixed turbine inlet temperature, the cycle shifts
to the left and the moisture content of steam at the turbine exit increases. This undesirable side effect
can be corrected, however, by reheating the steam, as discussed in the next section.

10. LOSSES DURING OPERATION & MAINTAINANCE OF PLANT:
10.1 SURFACE ROUGHNESS:
It increases friction & resistance. It can be due to Chemical deposits, Solid particle damage,
Corrosion Pitting & Water erosion. As a thumb rule, surface roughness of about 0.05 mm can lead to
a decrease in efficiency of 4%.
10.2 LEAKAGE LOSS:
a) Interstage Leakage
b) Turbine end Gland Leakages
c) About 2 - 7.5 kW is lost per stage if clearances are increased by 0.025 mm depending upon LP or
HP stage.
34. XXXIV
10.3 WETNESS LOSS:
A) Drag Loss: Due to difference in the velocities of the steam & water particles, water particles lag
behind & can even take different trajectory leading to losses.
B) Sudden condensation can create shock disturbances & hence losses.
C) About 1% wetness leads to 1% loss in stage efficiency.
10.4 OFF DESIGN LOSSES:
Steam pressure & temperature.
-Divergent nozzles are more prone to Off Design losses then Convergent nozzles as
shock formation is not there in convergent nozzles.
10.5 PARTIAL ADMISSION LOSSES:
A) In Impulse turbines, the controlling stage is fed with means of nozzle boxes, the control
valves of which open or close sequentially.
moment, devoid of steam leading to considerable losses.
10.6 LOSS DUE TO EROSION OF LP LAST STAGE BLADES:
A) Erosion of the last stage blades leads to considerable loss of energy. Also, It is the least efficient
stage.
B) Erosion in the 10% length of the blade leads to decrease in 0.1% of efficiency.

CONCLUSION
All the minor & major sections in the thermal project had been visited & also
understood to the best of my knowledge. I believe that this training has made me well
versed with the various processes in the power plant. As far as I think there is a long
way to go till we use our newest of ever improving technologies to increase the
efficiency because the stocks of coal are dwindling and they are not going to last
forever. Its imperative that we start shouldering the burden together to see a shining
and sustainable future INDIA.
