This document provides an overview of the thermal power plant located in Korba, Chhattisgarh, India. It discusses the key components and processes, including the coal handling plant, main plant, ash handling plant, and safety practices. The coal handling plant handles coal sourced from local mines, crushing it and pulverizing it for combustion. The main plant features the boiler, steam turbine, cooling tower, generator, and other equipment to generate electricity. The ash handling plant processes the remaining ash after combustion. The power plant has an installed capacity of 2600 MW and benefits several nearby states.

5.  Sources of coal in NTPC - Kusmunda block & Gevra
mines.
 Resources of coal – By road and by trains.
 Coal size – 200mm approx.

6.  a pulverize mill is used to pulverize
coal for combustion in the steam-
generating furnaces of fossil fuel power
plants.
 The crushing process of coal after that there
size is <20mm.

7.  Coal dust is a fine powder of coal.
 In this process after coal size is 0.6mm.

8.  A furnace is a device used for high-
temperature heating.
 The heat energy to fuel a furnace may be
supplied directly by fuel combustion, by
electricity such as the electric arc furnace, or
through induction heating in induction
furnaces.
8

9.  A boiler is a closed vessel in which water or
other fluid is heated.
 Boilers produce steam to be used
at saturation temperature.
9

10.  A turbine in which a high-velocity jet of
steam rotates a bladed disc or drum.
 A steam turbine is a device that
extracts thermal energy from
pressurized steam and uses it to
do mechanical work on a rotating output
shaft.

11.  How does an Alternator work ?
 Alternators are the workhorse of the power generation
industry .It is capable to generate AC power at a specified
frequency. They are also referred as Synchronous
generators. This video gives a detailed and illustrative
introduction on working of alternators.
 Electricity is produced in alternators by electromagnetic
induction. To generate electricity in a coil either the coil
should rotate with respect to a magnetic field or a
magnetic field should rotate with respect to the coil.

12.  A power station, also referred to as
a generating station,power plant,
powerhouse, or generating plant, is an
industrial facility for the generation of
electric power. Mostpower stations contain
one or more generators, a rotating machine
that converts mechanical power into
electricalpower.
12

13.  The giant, jug-shaped cooling towers you see
at old power plants make the turbine more
efficient. Boiling hot water from the steam
turbine is cooled in a heat exchanger called a
condenser.
13

14.  The electricity travels out of the generator to
a transformer nearby.
14

15.  Electricity loses some of its energy as it
travels down wire cables, but high-voltage
electricity loses less energy than low-voltage
electricity. So the electricity generated in the
plant is stepped-up (boosted) to a very high
voltage as it leaves the power plant.
15

16.  When the Coal combustion takes place in the
boiler, some part of the coal remains unburnt
and that un-burnt particles are called the
ash.

 Do not touch any equipment without permission
 Use of shoe when going to inside of plant

18.  Economical for low initial cost other than any
generating plant.
 Land required less than hydro power plant .
 Since coal is main fuel and its cost is quite cheap
than petrol/diesel so generation cost is
economical.
 There are easier maintenance.
 Thermal power plant can be installed in any
location where transportation & bulk of water are
available.
18

19.  The running cost for a thermal power station
is comparatively high due to fuel ,
maintenance etc.
 Large amount of smoke causes air pollution.
The thermal power station is responsible for
Global warming.
 The heated water that comes from thermal
power plant has an adverse effect on the lives
in the water and disturbs the ecology.
 Overall efficiency of thermal power plant is
low like less 30%.
