PREFACE
The rise in civilization is closely related to improvement in transportation and requirement of
energy that is not readily available in large quantities but is also readily transportable. A very
peculiar fact about electrical energy is that neither it is directly available in nature nor it is
finally used in this form, yet it is so widely produced and is the most popular high-grade energy.
The purpose behind this training is to understand the difficult concepts in a better way with
gain of knowledge. Report starts with a brief introduction about KALISINDH SUPER
THERMAL POWER PLANT followed by Lighting Arresters, Bus Bars, Insulators and Circuit
Breakers etc. While writing the report and while I was on my training, I was wondering that
science is ever expanding field and engineers are working hard day and night and makes the
life a gift for us.

CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
Everybody must be having a thought that a thermal power plant is a place where electricity is
produced. However, do you know how it is produced? How the chemical energy stored in fuel
is converted into heat energy which forms the input of power plant i.e. steam and electrical
energy produced by generator? Power is the single most important necessity for common
people and industrial development of nation. In a conventional power plant, the energy is first
converted to a mechanical work and then is converted to electrical energy.
The first energy conversion takes place in Boiler or Steam Generator, second in Turbine and
the last conversion takes place in the Generator.
A thermal power station is a power plant in which the prime mover is steam driven.
Water is heated, turns into steam and rotates the turbine, which drives an electrical
generator after that steam pass through in a condenser where it condensed and recycled
to again in boiler this whole cycle is known as RANKINE CYCLE.

1.5) PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
For each process in a vapour power cycle, it is possible to assume a hypothetical or ideal
process which represents the basis intended operation and do not produce any extraneous effect
like heat loss.
1. For steam boiler, this would be a reversible constant pressure heating process of water
to form steam.
2. For turbine, the ideal process would be a reversible adiabatic expansion of steam.
3. For condenser, it would be a reversible constant pressure heat rejection as the steam
condenser until it becomes saturated liquid.
4. For pump, the ideal process would be the reversible adiabatic compression of liquid
ending at the initial pressure.
When all the above four cycles are combined, the cycle achieved is called RANKINE
CYCLE. Hence, the working of a thermal power plant is based upon Rankine Cycle with some
modification.
1.6) THERMAL PLANT OPERATION PROCEDURE
The basic understanding of the modern thermal power station in terms of major systems
involved can be done under three basic heads viz. generating steam from coal, conversion of
thermal energy to mechanical power and generation & load dispatch of electric power.

Fig. 1.5 Working of TPP
1.6.1) COAL TO STEAM- The coal is burnt at the rate up to 200 tonnes per hour. From
coal stores, the fuel is carried on convey or belts to bunkers through coal tipper. It
then falls in to coal pulverizing mill, where it is grounded into powder as fine as flour.
Air is drawn into the boiler house by drought fan and passed through Preheaters.
Some air is passed directly to bunker and rest, through primary air fan, to pulverizing
mill where it is mixed with powdered coal. The mixture is then carried to bunker of
furnace where it mixes with rest of the air and burns to great heat. This heats
circulating water and produces steam, which passes to steam drum at very high
pressure. The steam is then heated further in the Super heater and fed to high pressure
cylinder of steam turbine. The spent steam is sent to condenser, where it turns back
to water called condensate. Condensate is sent to lower part of steam drum through
feed heater and economizer. The flue gases leaving boiler are used for heating
purpose in feed heater, economizer, and air Preheater. The flue gases are then passed
to electro-static precipitator and then, through draught fan, to chimney.

7
1.6.2) STEAM TO MECHANICAL POWER- Steam first enters the high-pressure
cylinder of turbine where it passes over a ring of stationary/fixed blades, which acts
as nozzle and directs steam onto a ring of moving blades. Steam passes to the other
cylinders through reheater and the process is repeated repeatedly. This rotates the
turbine shaft up to 3000rpm. At each stage, steam expands, pressure decreases and
velocity increases.
1.6.3) MECHANICAL POWER TO ELECTRICAL POWER- To obtained the
electrical power from mechanical power we connect the shaft to an alternator’s
armature. When the armature is rotated and electric, current is produced in the stator’s
windings. The generated electricity is of order 25,000 volts.
1.6.4) SWITCHING AND TRANSMISSION-The produced electricity is cannot to
transmitted as this state so It is passed to a series of three switches called an isolator,
a circuit-breaker, and another isolator. From circuit breaker, current is taken to bus
bars and then to another circuit breaker with its associated isolator before being fed
to the main Grid. Each generator has its own switching and transmission arrangement.
Three-phase system is used for power transmission.
1.6.5) CONTROL AND INSTRUMENTATION- Control and Instrumentation (C & I)
systems are provided to enable the power station to be operated in a safe and efficient
manner while responding to the demands of the national grid system. These demands
have to be met without violating the safety or operational constraints of the plants.
For example, metallurgical limitations are important as they set limits on the
maximum permissible boiler metal temperature and the chemical constituents of the
Feed water. The control and Instrumentation system provides the means of the manual
and automatic control of plant operating conditions to maintain an adequate margin
from the safety and operational constraints. Monitor these margins and the plant
conditions, and provide immediate indications and permanent records. Draw the
attention of the operator by an alarm system to any unacceptable reduction in the
margins. Shut down the plant if the operating constraints are violated.

1.7) PULVERIZED COAL FUELED POWER PLANT
A typical pulverized coal fuelled power plant is based on Rankine Thermodynamic cycle. “A
Rankine cycle is a vapour cycle Furnace that relies on the isentropic expansion of high pressure
gas to produce work”. Let us see a super heat Rankine cycle:
Fig. 1.6 Working by Rankine Cycle
This facility first produces steam in a boiler (steam generator). This steam is used to
rotate turbine, which is connected to a shaft of generator. Hence, electricity is produced here.
The used steam is then condensed in a condenser and the condensed liquid is used again in the
steam generator. This is a simple phenomenon, understood by everybody.
For all this, we need a fuel. As the name suggest here coal is used as fuel. Coal is one of the
cheapest and most preferred fossil fuel used as a key to most of the power plants. Usually
delivered by train from Mines to the Coal Handing Plant (CHP). The CHP unloads this it
become more economical to unload the coal. Then the coal stacked, reclaimed, crushed, and
conveyed it to the storage silos near the steam generator. Then it is fed through the Feeder to
the Pulveriser. Feeder is mainly used to weight the amount of coal going to the Pulveriser per
hour. From the Feeder, the coal is fed to the Pulveriser, which powders it, and then it is carried
to the steam generator using pressurized air. Within the steam generator, the coal is atomized
and burned and the heat energy produced is used for producing steam. Here two types of steam
namely superheated & reheated steam are produced in a cycle. The steam turbine generator

9
converts the thermal energy of superheated and reheated steam to electrical energy. The first
energy conversion is carried in Boiler or steam generator; the second is carried out in Turbine
and the last one carried out in the Generator.
Initially the superheated steam is fed to High Pressure (HP) turbine. It has a temperature
of 540° C (approx.) and a pressure of about 140 Kg/cm2. Then the exhausted steam from it is
taken to the reheater so that it can be reheated and fed back to Intermediate Pressure (IP)
turbine. Here the temperature is maintained the same as that of superheated steam but pressure
is reduced to 35 Kg/cm2.
Fig. 1.7 Energy Conversion
Then the exhausted steam is directly fed to Low Pressure (LP) turbine having the reduced
temperature and pressure of about 1Kg/cm2. Then the exhausted steam from the LP section is
condensed in the condenser. Condensate Pumps move the condensed liquid from condenser
through Low Pressure Regenerative Feed water heaters to a Deaerator. Boiler Feed Pumps
(BFPs) moves the deaerated liquid through HP heaters to the steam generators. Extraction
steam is supplied to the LP & HP regenerative heaters to improve cycle efficiency. Then comes
to the system of fans which keeps the system working by providing the valuable air where
required.
There are three pairs of fans, namely, Forced Draft (FD) fan, Induced Draft (ID) fan, Primary
Air (PA) fan. FD fans supplies combustion air to the steam generator and PA fans transports
the coal into the steam generator. ID fans remove the flue gases from the steam generator and
exhaust it through chimney.
Cooling water for the condenser is supplied by the circulating water system, which takes the
heat removed from the condenser and rejects it to the cooling towers or other heat sink. This

10
all working is controlled from a single place called control room. It enables the operator to
direct the plant operation for reliable and efficient production of electrical energy. This is
achieved by the control system installed by the C & I group. These are DAS (Data Acquisition
System), ACS (Analog Control System), FSSS (Furnace Safeguard Supervisory System), and
other relays governing numerous activities.
Last but not the least is the switching and transmission methods used here. The generated power
cannot be transmitted as such. It is stepped up to 132 KV or 400 KV then passed through a
series of three switches an insulator, a circuit breaker and an isolator. Three-phase system is
used for the power transmission. Each generator has its own switchyard and transmission
arrangement.

CHAPTER-2
COAL HANDLING PLANT
2.1) INTRODUCTION
Every thermal power plant is based on steam produced on the expanse of heat
energy produced on combustion of fuel. Coal is categorized as follows depending upon fixed
carbon, volatile matter and moisture content:
Table 2.1 Classification of Coal
S. NO. NAME OF COAL % CARBON
1 Anthracite 86%
2 Bituminous 46 to 86%
3 Lignite 30%
4 Peat 5 to 10%
Coal from mines is transported to CHP in railway wagons. It is unloaded in track
hoppers. Each project requires transportation of large quantity of coal mines to the power
station site. Each project is established near coalmine, which meets the coal requirements for
the span of its entire operational life. For the purpose each plant has Merry Go-Round (MGR)
rail transportation system. The loading operation of the coal rake takes place while it is moving
under the silo at a present speed of 0.8 Km/hr. that the loading time for each wagon is one
minute. For unloading of coal from the wagons, an underground track hopper is provided at
the power station.
The term coal handling plant means to store and to handle the coal, which is transported
by the train, and convey to the bunkers with the help of belt conveyers. Through the bunkers,
coal is transferred to the coal mill and drifted to the furnace. The coal handling plant includes
wagon tippler, conveyer belt, crusher house, stacker & reclaimer, bunkers & coal mill.

CHAPTER-3
IMPORTANT PARTS OF THERMAL POWER PLANT
3.1) BOILER
Boiler can simply be defined as the device where any liquid is boiled or Boiler may be
defined as a device that is used to transfer heat energy being produced by burning of fuel to
liquid, generally water, contended in it to cause its vaporization. Boiler, in simple terms, can
be called “Steam Generator”.
In simple way, boiler is a device used for producing steam. There are two types of boiler
(depending upon tube content):
a) Fire tube boiler
b) Water tube boiler
Here, boiler used is of water type. In the boiler, heat energy transfer takes place through tube
walls and drum. The gases lose their heat to water in the boiler or superheated. The escape heat
is used to heat the water through economizer.
ID and FD fans are used to produce artificial draught. The fuel oil is used to ignite the boiler
and pulverized coal is lifted from the coal mills by PA fans.
 WATER TUBE BOILER USED IN KaTPP WITH 97M HIGHT.
Various motors used in boiler are of different rating and parameters 32KW, 15KW, 11KW, &
3.3KW.

3.1.1) BOILER AUXILIARIES-Efficiency of a system is of most concerned. Thus, it is
very important to maintain a system as efficient as possible. Therefore, Boiler
auxiliaries help in improving boiler’s efficiency. Following are the important
auxiliaries used
 ECONOMISER: Its purpose is to preheat feed water before it is introduced into
boiler drum by recovering heat from flue gases leaving the furnace.
 SUPER HEATER: It increase the temperature of steam to super-heated region.
 REHEATER: It is used for heat addition and increase the temperature of steam
coming from high-pressure turbine to 540°C.
 DRAFT FANS: They handle the supply of air and the pressure of furnace.
3.1.2) BOILER MOUNTINGS-These are used for the safe operation of boiler. Some
example of mountings used are water level indicator in drum, furnace temperature
probe, reheat release valve, pressure gauges indicating steam pressure etc.
3.2) TURBINE
Turbine is an m/c in which a shaft is rotated steadily by the impact of reaction of steam
of working substance upon blades of a wheel. It converts the potential energy or heat energy
of the working substance into mechanical energy. When working substance is steam, it is called
‘Steam Turbine’.
In the steam turbine, the pressure of the steam is utilized to overcome external
resistance and the dynamic action of the steam is negligibly small.
 Working principle of the steam turbine depends wholly upon the dynamic action of
steam. The steam is caused to fall with pressure in a passage of nozzle, due to this fall
in pressure, a whole amount of heat energy is converted into mechanical energy &

19
steam is set moving with the reactor velocity. The rapidly moving particle of steam
enter the moving part of turbine and here suffers a change in the direction of motion
which gives rise to change of momentum and therefore to a force. This constitutes a
driving force to a turbine.
The passage of them/through the moving part of the turbine commonly called the blade,
may take place in such a manner that the pressure at the outlet sides of the blade is equal to that
of the inlet side. Such a turbine is broadly termed as outlet turbine or Impulse type.
On the other hand, the pressure of the steam at outlet from the moving blade may be less
than that at type inlet side of the blade. The drop of pressure suffered by the steam during its
flow through the moving blades causes a further generation of kinetic energy within the blades
and adds to the propelling force, which is applied to the turbine rotor, such a turbine is broadly
termed as Reaction Turbine.
 Here in Kalisindh Thermal Power Project N600-16.7/587/537, Re-Het, Three Casing,
Four Exhaust, Tandem Compound Condenser Type Turbine Used.
The turbine is of tandem compound design with separate High Pressure (HP),
Intermediate Pressure (IP) and Low Pressure (LP) cylinders. The HP turbine is of Single Flow
type while IP and LP turbines are of Double Flow type. The turbine is condensing type with
single reheat. It is engineered on reaction principle with throttle governing. The stages are
arranged in HP, IP AND LP turbines driving alternating current full capacity turbo generator.
The readily designed HP, IP and LP turbines are combined and sized to required power
output, steam parameters and cycle configuration to give most economical turbine set. The
design and constructional feature prove their reliability in service and ensure trouble free
operation over long operating periods and at the same time ensuring high thermal efficiencies.

3.3) GENERATOR
Generator is the important part of thermal power plant. It is a device, which converts
the mechanical energy into electrical energy. Generator is driven by coupled steam turbine at
a speed of 3000 r.p.m. Due to rotation at high speed it gets heated. Therefore, there is cooling
construction enclosing the winding core of the generator. Therefore, during the operation is
being in normal temperature.
In KaTPP, each of the 2 units have been provided with 3-phase turbo generator rated
output 706MVA, 18.525KA, 22KV, 0.85 lagging p.f., 984 rpm and 50 cycles/sec. The
generator has closed loop of hydrogen gas system for cooling of the stator and rotor at a

3.4) CONDENSER
In condenser, the water passes through various tubes and steam passes through a chamber
containing a large number of water tubes (about 20000).
The steam is converted into water droplets, when steam meets water tubes. The
condensate is used again in boiler as it is dematerialized water and 5-6 heats the water, which
was in tubes, during the process of condensation. This water is sent to cooling tower.
Condenser is installed below the LP exhaust. The condenser is of surface type made of
fabricated construction in single shell. The tube is of divided type double pass arrangement,
having two independent cooling water inlet, outlet and reverse and water boxes. This
arrangement facilitates the operation of one-half of condenser when the other half is under
maintenance. The condenser is provided with integral air-cooling zone at the centre from where
air and non-condensable gases are continuously drawn out with the help of mechanical vacuum
pump.
 Area of condenser = 9655 sq. m
 Cooling water flow rate = 2400 cubic m/Hr.
3.5) COOLING TOWER
It is a structure of height 202 m (tallest in the world) designed to cool the water (coming
from condenser) by natural draught. The cross sectional area is less at the centre just to create

25
low pressure so that ate air can lift up due to natural draught and can carry heat from spherical
drops. The upper portion is also diverging for increasing the efficiency of cooling tower. Hence,
it is named as natural draught cooling tower.
 In KaTPP two natural draught cooling towers (2 NDCT) is present with height 202 m each
for each unit.
Fig. 3.5 Cooling Tower
3.6) WATER TREATMENT PLANT
As everyone, know that the cost of any thermal power plant is cores of rupees. So major
problem of any thermal power plant is that how to prevent the corrosion. The water available
cannot be used in boilers as such. The objective of water treatment plant is to produce the boiler
feed water so that there shall be.

26
 No scale formation ·
 No corrosion ·
 No priming or forming problems
Water used in thermal power plant is called ‘Dematerialized Water’ or DM Water.

CHAPTER-4
ESP AND AHP SYSTEM
4.1) ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR (ESP)
Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) is equipment, which utilizes an intense electric force to
separate the suspended particle from the gases. In India, coal is widely used to generate power.
The exhaust gases are emitted directly into the atmosphere; it will cause great environmental
problems. Therefore, it is necessary to extract this dust and smoke before emitted the exhaust
gases into atmosphere. There are various methods of extracting dust but electrostatic
precipitator is the most widely used. It involves electric changing of suspended particle,
collection of charge particles and removal of charge particles from collecting electrode. Its
various other advantages are as follows:
 It has high efficiency i.e. about 99%
 Ability to treat large volume of gases at high temperature
 Ability to cope with the corrosive atmosphere.
 It offers low resistance to the flow of gases.
 It requires less maintenance.
4.1.1) WORKING PRINCIPLE- The electrostatic precipitator utilizes electrostatic forces
to separate dust particles from the gases to be cleaned. The gas is passed through a
chamber, which contains steel plates (vertical) curtains. Theses steel curtains divide
the chamber into number of parallel paths. The framework is held in place by four
insulators, which insulate it electrically from all parts, which are grounded. A high
voltage direct current is connected between the framework and the ground, thereby
creating strong electric field between the wires in the framework curtains.
Strong electric field develops near the surface of the wire creates Corona Discharge
along the wire. Thus ionized gas produces +ve and –ve ions. In the chamber plates are
positively charged whereas the wire is negatively charged. Positive ions are attracted towards
the wire whereas the negative ions are attracted towards the plates. On their way towards the
curtains, negative ions strike the dust particle and make them negatively charged. Thus is
collected on the steel curtains.
The whole process is divided into the following parts:

28
 Corona Generation
 Particle Charging
 Particle Collection
 Particle Removal
Details of the following are given below-
 Corona Generation- Corona is a gas discharge phenomenon associated with the
ionization of gas molecules by electron collision in regions of high electric field
strength. This process requires non-uniform electric field, which is obtained by the use
of small diameter wire as one electrode and a plate or cylinder as the other electrode.
The corona process is initiated by the presence of electron in strong electric field near
the wire. In this region of corona discharge, there are free electrons and positive ions.
Both positive and negative coronas are used in industrial gas cleaning.
In case of negative corona, positive ions generated are attracted towards the negative
electrode or wire electrons towards collecting plates. On impact of negative and serve
as principle means of charging dust.
 Particle Charging- These are two physical mechanisms by which gas ions impact
charge to dust particles in the ESP. Particles in an electric fields causes localized
distortion in an electric filed so that electric field lines intersect with the particles of
maximum voltage gradient, which is along electric field lines. Thus, ions will be
intercepted by the dust particles resulting in a net charge flow to the dust particles. The
ions will be held to the dust particles by an induced image charge force between the ion
and dust particle and become charged to a value sufficient to divert the electric field
lines from particles such that they do not intercept.
o Particle Collection- The forces acting on the charged particles are
Gravitational, Inertial, Electrostatic and Aerodynamically. The flow of gas
stream is turbulent flow because it causes the particles to flow in random path
through ESP. Particles will be collected at boundary layers of collector pates.
However, if flow is laminar, charge will act on particles in the direction of
collecting electrode. This force is opposite to viscous drag force and thus in the
short time, particle would achieve Terminal (Migration) velocity at which

29
electrical; and viscous forces are equal. Thus the flow of the charged particle is
decided by the vector sum of these forces i.e. Turbulent.
 Particle Removal- In dry removal of dust collected on plates, Rapping Mechanism is
used. It considers of a geared motor, which moves along shaft paced near the support
collector electrode and is provided with cylindrical hammer. On rotating of shaft these
hammers, strike the supports causes’ plate to vibrate and dust is removed from plates.
Removed dust is collected in the Hoppers below the precipitator. At the time of starting
of precipitation of dust from flue gases, the hoppers are at normal temperature but the
ash collected is very hot. So there is a chance of ash deposit at the exit of the hopper
thus causing problem of removing the ash. To avoid this, heaters are provided which
increase the temperature at the exit point of the hopper thus avoiding any undue
accumulation of ash at starting. In other method, the water is allowed to flow down the
collector electrode and hence dust is collected in hoppers below.
4.1.2) GENERAL DESCRIPTION-
The whole ESP is divided into two parts-
 Mechanical System
 Electrical System
Here we will discuss only Mechanical System (i.e. Precipitator Casing, Emitting and
Collecting System and Hopper).
 Precipitator Casing-Precipitator Casing is made of 6mm mild steel plates with
required stiffness. The precipitator casing is all welded construction comprising of pre-
fabricated walls and proof-panels. The roof carries the precipitator internals, insulator
housing, transformer etc. Both emitting and collecting systems are hung from the top
of the casing.
 Emitting and Collecting System- Emitting System is the most important part of ESP.
Emitting system consists of rigid emitting frame suspended from four points on the top
of rigid emitting electrodes in the form of open spiral. The four suspension points are
supported on support insulators to give electrical insulation to the emitting frame. The
frame is designed to take up the retention forces of the emitting electrode. The emitting
electrode consists of hard drawn spiral wires and are fastened with hooks to the
discharge frame.

30
Collecting system mainly consists of collecting suspension frame, collection electrodes
and shock bars. Collecting electrode are made of 1.6 mm thick Mild Steel sheets formed
in ‘G’ Profile of 400mm width. Hook and guide are welded on one end and shock iron
on the dipped in rust preventive oil tank. Collecting electrodes bundles are properly
bundled in order to avoid any damage to electrode.
 Hoppers- Hoppers are seized to hold the ash for 8-hour collection and is provided under
the casing of ESP. It is of Pyramidal Shape and is 56 in number. It is preferred to
evacuate the hoppers at the earliest as long storage of dust in hopper leads to clogging
of hopper. Also at the bottom of hopper, electrical heating is provided to avoid any
condensation, which could also lead to clogging of hopper. Baffle plates are provided
in each hopper to avoid gas leakage.
Fig. 4.1 Electrostatic Precipitation Unit
4.1.3) RAPPING MECAHISM FOR COLLECTING SYSTEM- During electrostatic
precipitation a fraction of dust will be collected on the discharge on the discharge
electrodes and the corona will be suppressed as the dust layer grows. So rapping is
done in order to remove this dust by hammering the electrodes.

31
As the shaft rotates, the hammer tumbles on to the shock bar that transmits the blow to the
electrode. The completely rapping mechanism is mounted on a single shaft, which is collection
of ash on the collecting electrode.
4.2) ASH HANDLING PLANT (AHP)
ESP collects the ash produced on the combustion of coal. This ash is now required to
dispose off. Ash Handling Plant (AHP) solves this purpose of ash disposal. There are two types
of ash handling process undertaken by AHP.
 Dry Ash System
 Ash Slurry System
4.2.1) DRY ASH SYSTEM- Dry ash is required in cement factories as it can be directly
added to cement. Hence, the dry ash collected in the ESP hopper is directly disposed
to silos using pressure pumps. The dry ash from these silos is transported to the
required destination.
4.2.2) ASH SLURRY SYSTEM- Ash from boiler is transported to ash dump areas by
means of sluicing type hydraulic system, which consists of two types of system-
 Bottom Ash System
 Ash Water System
 BOTTOM ASH SYSTEM- In this system, the ash slag discharged from the furnace is
collected in water-impounded scraper installed below bottom ash hopper. The ash
collected is transported to clinkers by chain conveyors. The clinker grinders churn ash,
which is then mixed with water to form slurry.
 ASH WATER SYSTEM-In this system, the ash collected in ESP hopper is passed to
flushing system. Here low pressure water is applied through nozzle directing
tangentially to the section of pipe to create turbulence and proper mixing of ash with
water to form slurry. Slurry formed in above processes is transported to ash slurry sump.
Here extra water is added to slurry if required and then is pumped to the dump area.
4.2.3) FLY ASH SYSTEM-Even though ESP is very efficient, there is still some ash, about
0.2%, left in flue gases. It is disposed to the atmosphere along with flue gases through
chimney.

CHAPTER-5
CONTROL ROOM
5.1) CONTROL AND INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM
Control and Instrumentation (C & I) systems are provided to enable the power station to
be operated in a safe and efficient manner while responding to the demands of the national grid
system. These demands have to be met without violating the safety or operational constraints
of the plants.
For example, metallurgical limitations are important as they set limits on the maximum
permissible boiler metal temperature and the chemical constituents of the Feed water. The
control and Instrumentation system provides the means of the manual and automatic control of
plant operating conditions to maintain an adequate margin from the safety and operational
constraints. Monitor these margins and the plant conditions, and provide immediate indications
and permanent records. Draw the attention of the operator by an alarm system to any
unacceptable reduction in the margins. Shut down the plant if the operating constraints are
violated.
Most of the power plant operational controls are automatic. However, at times, manual
intervention may be required. Thus, the plant is provided with monitors and alarm systems that
alert the plant operators when certain operating parameters are seriously deviating from their
normal range.

CHAPTER-6
SWITCHING AND TRANSMISSION
6.1) INTRODUCTION
The electricity is usually produced in the stator winding of the large modern generators
at about 22,000 volts and is fed through terminal connections to one side of a generator
transformer that steps up the voltage 132000, 220000 or 400000 volts. From here conductors
carry it to a series of three switches comprising an insulator, a circuit breaker and another
isolator.
The circuit breaker, which is a heavy-duty switch capable of operating in a fraction of a
second, is used to switch off the current flowing to the transmission lines. Once the current has
been interrupted, the isolators can be opened. These isolate the circuit breaker from all outside
electrical sources.
From the circuit breaker, the current is taken to the bus bars-conductors, which run the length
of the switching compound and then to another circuit breaker with its associated isolates
before feeding to the grid.
Three wires are used in a ‘three=phase’ system for large power transmission. The centre of the
power station is the control room. Here engineers monitor the output of electricity, supervising
and controlling the operation of the generation plant and high voltage switchgear and directing
power to the grid system as required.
6.2) BUS BARS
Bus Bars are the common electrical component through which a large no. of feeders
operating at same voltage have to be connected.
If the bus bars are of rigid type (Aluminium types), the structure heights are low and
minimum clearance is required. While in case of strain type of bus bars suitable ACSR
conductors are strung / tensioned by tension insulator discs according to system voltages. In
the widely used strain type bus bars, stringing tension is about 500 - 900 kg depending upon
the size of conductor used.

36
Fig. 6.1 Switchyard of KaTPP
6.2.1) BUS BAR ARRANGEMENT MAY BE OF FOLLOWING TYPES, WHICH
ARE BEING USED IN KaTPP
1.) Single bus bar arrangement.
2.) Double bus bar arrangement.
a) Main bus with transformer bus.
b.) Main bus-I with Main bus-II.
3.) Double bus bar arrangement with auxiliary bus.
6.3) ISOLATORS
Isolators which are also called disconnect switches or air break switches after the
assembly as per drawings on the leveled structures the adjustment of connecting pipes, moving
and fixed contacts is done so that all the three phase of the isolator close and open
simultaneously and there is a full surface contact between moving and fixed contacts. Such
switches are generally used on both sides of equipment in order that repairs and replacement

37
of the equipment can be made without any danger. They should never be opened until the
equipment in the same circuit has been turned off and should always be closed before the
equipment is turned on.
The adjustment of the tendon pipes levelling of post insulator, stop holts in the fixed contacts
etc. is done for smooth operation of insulator. Following type of insulator are being used in
KaTPP-
a) Isolator without earth blades.
b) Isolator with earth blade.
c) Tendon isolator.

6.4) INSULATORS
The insulators for the overhead lines provide insulation to the power conductors from
the ground so that currents from conductors do not flow to earth through supports. The
insulators are connected to the cross arm of supporting structure and the power conductors
passes through the clamp of the insulator. The insulators provide necessary insulation between
line conductors and supports and thus prevent any leakage current from conductors to earth. In
general, the insulators should have the following desirable properties:

38
1 High mechanical strength in order to withstand conductor load, wind load etc.
2 High electrical resistance of insulator material in order to avoid leakage currents to earth.
3 High relative permittivity of insulator material in order that dielectric strength is high.
4 The insulator material should be non-porous; free from impurities and cracks otherwise the
permittivity will be lowered.
5 High ratio of puncture strength to flash over.
6.4.1) TYPE OF INSULATORS
There are three types of insulators used for overhead lines:
 Pin Type
 Strain Type
 Suspension Type
6.5) PROTECTIVE RELAYS
A Protective relay is a device that detects the fault and initiates the operation of the circuit
breaker to isolate the defective element from the rest of the system.
The relays detect the abnormal condition in the electrical circuits by constantly measuring the
electrical quantities i.e. voltage, current, frequency, phase angle which are different under
normal and fault conditions. Having detected the fault, the relay operates to close the trip circuit
of the breaker, which results in opening of the breaker and disconnection of the faulty circuit.
Relay circuit connections can be divided in three parts:
1.) Primary winding of a C.T. that is connected in series with the line to be protected.
2.) Secondary winding of C.T. and the relay operating coil.
3.) Third part is the tripping circuit, which may be either a.c. or d.c... It consists of a source of
a supply, the trip coil of a circuit breaker and the relays stationary contacts.
When a short circuit occurs at point F on the transmission line the current increases to enormous
value. This results in a heavy current flow through the relay coil, causing the relay to operate
by closing its contacts. This in turn closes the trip circuit of the breaker, making the C.B. open
and isolating the family section from the rest of the system. In this way, the relay ensures the
safety of the circuit equipment from damage and normal working of the healthy portion of the
system.

39
Fig. 6.2 Basic Relay Circuit
Basic qualities that a protective relay must possess are:
1.) Selectivity
2.) Speed
3.) Sensitivity
4.) Reliability
5.) Simplicity
6.) Economy
6.5.1) BUCHHOLZ RELAY
It is a gas-actuated relay installed in oil-immersed transformers for protection against
all kinds of faults. It is used to give an alarm in case of incipient (i.e. slow developing) faults
in the transformer and to disconnect the transformer from the supply in the event of severe

40
internal faults. It is usually installed in the pipe connecting the conservator to the main tank. It
is a universal practice to use BUCHHOLZ relay on all such oil-immersed transformers having
ratings in excess of 750kVA.
Fig. 6.3 Buchholz Relay
6.6) CIRCUIT BREAKER
Circuit breakers are used for switching & protection of various parts of power
system. Circuit breaker is a piece of equipment, which can
1) Make or break a circuit manually or automatically under normal condition.
2) Break a circuit automatically under fault condition.
3) Make a circuit either manually or by remote control under fault conditions.
6.6.1) CLASSIFICATION OF CIRCUIT BREAKERS
They are generally classified based on the medium used for arc elimination
(i) Oil circuit breakers, which employ some insulating oil for arc extinction.
(ii) Air-blast circuit breakers in which high-pressure air blast is used for extinguishing the arc.
(iii) Sulphur hexa fluoride C.B. in which SF6 gas is used for arc extinction.
(iv) Vacuum C.B. in which vacuum is used for arc extinction.

43
Current transformer is used for monitoring the current for the purpose of measuring and
protection. The dead tank current transformer accommodate the secondary cores inside the
tank, which is at ground potential. CT used current ratio 1000:1 and range is 1A-5A.CT
connected in series while PT in parallel.
6.9) POTENTIAL TRANSFORMER
These transformers are extremely accurate ratio step down transformers and are used
in conjunction with standard low range voltmeter (usually 150 volt) whose deflection when
divided by voltage transformation ratio, gives the true voltage on the high voltage side. In
general, they are of the shell type and do not differ much from the ordinary two winding
transformer, except that their power rating is extremely small.
Fig. 6.5 Potential Transformer
Up to voltage of 5000 potential transformers are usually of dry type, between 5000 and 13800
volts, they may be either dry type or oil immersed type, although for voltage above 13800 they
are oil type. Since their secondary windings are required to operate instruments, relays or pilot
lights, their ratings are usually 42 to 100 watts.
6.10) CAPACITIVE VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER
Capacitive voltage transformers are special kind of power transformers using
capacitors to step down the voltage.

44
APPLICATION
1. Capacitive voltage transformers can be effectively as potential sources for measuring,
metering, protection, carrier communication and other vital functions of an electrical
network.
2. CVT are constructed in single or multi-unit porcelain housing with their associated
magnetic units. For EHV system cuts are always supplied in multi-unit construction.
3. In case of EHV cuts, the multi-unit system has many advantage easy to transport and
storing, convenience in handling.

EFFICIENCY
7.1) EFFICIENCY
Efficiency is defined as the ratio of output to input. Efficiency of any thermal power
plant can be divided into four parts-
1) Cycle Efficiency
2) Boiler Efficiency
3) Generator Efficiency
4) Turbine Efficiency
Efficiency of thermal power plant is defined as in the term of overall efficiency i.e.
Overall efficiency = cycle × boiler × generator × turbine efficiency
7.2) CYCLE EFFICIENCY- Cycle efficiency is defined as the ration of energy available
for conversion in work to the heat supplied to the boiler.
7.3) BOILER EFFICIENCY- Efficiency of boiler depends upon the following factors:
a) Dry flue gas loss: Increase by excess air in boiler.
b) Wet flue gas loss: Moisture in coal.
c) Moisture in combustion loss: Hydrogen loss.
7.4) GENERATOR EFFICIENCY- Efficiency of generator is about 98% also its
efficiency depends upon:
a) Copper and iron loss
b) Windage losses
7.5) TURBINE EFFICIENCY-It means the efficiency of steam turbine in converting the
heat energy made available in the cycle into actual mechanical work.

47
CONCLUSION
This is my first practical training in which I learned lot of things and seen lot of huge
machine like Turbine, Boiler, Generator, cooling tower and many other things.
The architecture of the power plant, the way various units are linked and the way
working of whole plant is controlled make the student realize that engineering is not just
learning the structure description and working of various machine but the great part is of
planning proper and management.
I think training has essential for any student. It has allowed an opportunity to get an
exposure of the practical implementation to theoretical fundamentals.
