ElectroStatic Precipitator-
ESP is meant for air pollution control. The working of ESP is based on
CORONA DISCHARGE. An electrostatic
precipitator (ESP) or electrostatic air cleaner is a particulate collection
device that removes particles from a flowing gas (such as air) using the
force of an induced electrostatic charge. Electrostatic precipitators are
highly efficient filtration devices that minimally impede the flow of gases
through the device, and can easily remove fine particulate matter such as
dust and smoke from the air stream. In contrast to wet scrubbers which
apply energy directly to the flowing fluid medium, an ESP applies energy
only to the particulate matter being collected and therefore is very
efficient in its consumption of energy (in the form of electricity).
SWITCHGEARS -
Switchgear is a switching/ interrupting device used in connection with
generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric power for
controlling, metering protecting and regulating devices. It is a
combination of electrical disconnects fuses and/or circuit breakers used to
isolate electrical equipment. Switchgear is used both to de-energize
equipment to allow work to be done and to clear faults downstream.
These are located in substations on both the high and low voltage sides of
the large power transformers. One of the basic functions of switchgear is
protection, which is interruption of short-circuit and overload fault
currents while maintaining service to unaffected circuits. Switchgear also
provides isolation of circuits from power supplies. Switchgear also is used
to enhance system availability by allowing more than one source to feed
a load.
Once a fault is detected, contacts within the circuit breaker must open to
interrupt the circuit; some mechanically stored energy within the breaker
is used to separate the contacts, although some of the energy required
may be obtained from the fault current itself. The stored energy may be
in the form of springs or compressed air.
The circuit breaker contacts must carry the load current without
excessive heating, and must also withstand the heat of the arc produced
when interrupting the circuit. Contacts are made of copper or copper
alloys, silver alloys, and other materials. Service life of the contacts is
limited by the erosion due to interrupting the arc. When a current is
interrupted, an arc is generated - this arc must be contained, cooled, and
extinguished in a controlled way, so that the gap between the contacts
can again withstand the voltage in the circuit. Different circuit breakers
use vacuum, air, insulating gas, or oil as the medium in which the arc
forms. Different techniques are used to extinguish the arc including:
Finally, once the fault condition has been cleared, the contacts must
again be closed to restore power to the interrupted circuit. Depending on
the method of extinguishing the arc, the high voltage circuit breakers can
be classified as:
1. SF6 Circuit Breaker - The SF6 circuit breaker installed at BTPS is
HPA by ABB as per standard IEC56. HPA is a medium-voltage circuit
breaker using SF6 gas as the insulation and breaking medium. Its design
is compact and space-saving. The breaker is also available in a version
with synchronised making for maximum damping of transients for
different applications. The HPA breaker works according to the puffer
principle, implying that when breaking, the gas is compressed between a
fixed plunger and a moving cylinder and then blown on to the arc
between the fixed and moving arc contacts. When the breaker is closed,
the current flows via the main contacts and the cylinder. When a tripping
impulse is given, the cylinder moves downwards, whereupon the upper
main contact opens and the current commutes over to the arc contact. At
the same time, the gas in the cylinder is compressed. When the nozzle
has left the arc contact, the compressed gas is blown along the arc and
cools it. The breaking process is completed as the current passes through
zero.
• Non-toxic
• Non-flammable
In the bulk oil breakers, the oil serves as both arcs extinguishing medium
and main insulation. The minimum oil breakers were developed to
reduce the oil volume only to amount needed for extinguishing of the arc
– about 10% of the bulk- oil amount. The interrupter containers of the
minimum oil breakers are made of insulating material and are insulated
from the ground. This is usually referred to as live tank construction. For
high voltages (above 132 kV), the interrupters are arranged in series.

3. Air Circuit Breaker - The air type circuit breaker at BTPS is Tata
Merlin & Gerin Ltd.
Relays -
A relay is an electrical switch that opens and closes under the control of
another electrical circuit. In the original form, the switch is operated by an
electromagnet to open or close one or many sets of contacts. When a
current flows through the coil, the resulting magnetic field attracts an
armature that is mechanically linked to a moving contact. The movement
either makes or breaks a connection with a fixed contact. When the
current to the coil is switched off, the armature is returned by a force
approximately half as strong as the magnetic force to its relaxed position.
Usually this is a spring, but gravity is also used commonly in industrial
motor starters. Most relays are manufactured to operate quickly. In a low
voltage application, this is to reduce noise. In a high voltage or high
current application, this is to reduce arcing.
Since relays are switches, the terminology applied to switches is also
applied to relays. A relay will switch one or more poles, each of whose
contacts can be thrown by energizing the coil in one of three ways:
• Flag Relay
MOTORS
• The AC induction motor is a rotating electric machine designed to
operate from a three-phase source of alternating voltage. The stator
is a classic three phase stator with the winding displaced by 120°.
The most common type of induction motor has a squirrel cage rotor.

Motor Starting
The methods employed in starting a motor are extremely varied, being
dependent on the system, type, starting repetition and environment etc.
Probably the simplest and the most common method is to connect the
supply directly to the motor allow it to accelerate normally to its running
speed. This method is referred to as Direct – On – Line (DOL) starting.
DOL Starting
The choice of this method depends on number of conditions. If for
example, the load has high inertia, then DOL will not be ideal because the
prolonged starting current could be six times the normal running current.
This in turn (assuming the switch used can carry this large current) would
put an excessive drain on the supply system. In fact, for large horse
power motors the supply authorities do not allow DOL starting.
DOL Starters
The simplest electric motor drive consists of a squirrel cage motor
switched direct on line and an associated automatic motor starter
consists of basically a contactor to connect the motor to supply and an
overload relay to prevent over – heating of the motor.
TRANSFORMER
A transformer is a constant frequency static device comprising
coils coupled through a magnetic medium connecting two ports at
different voltage levels (in general) in an electrical system allowing
the interchange of electric energy between the two ports in either
direction via magnetic field.
Types of Transformers -
Step up
Isolation
Step down
Generator transformer
UAT draws it’s input from the Main bus duct connecting the
generating transformer. Total KVA capacity UAT required can be
determined by using 0.85 p.f. and 0.9 efficiency for the total
auxiliary motor load.
For large units it has become necessary to use more than one UAT.
Such arrangement normally provide separate bus section fed by
separate auxiliary transformer, with bus section breaker while
selecting one thing is to be taken care of is that the percent
impedence of the transformer for the proposed unit should satisfy
the following conditions.
Station Transformer
It is needed to feed the auxiliaries during the start-ups. These are
usually rated for the initial auxiliary load requirements of the unit.
Typically this load is of the order of 60% of the load of the full
generating capacity. But in the large stations where more than one
units are operating, the station transformer should have sufficient
capacity to start two units at the same time. It is also provided with
on load tap changer to cater to fluctuating voltage of the grid.

Core type
Shell type
In the core type, the winding is wound around the two legs of the
rectangular magnetic core, while in the shell type the winding are
wound on the central leg of a three legged core.
Conservator
It is the small tank placed on the top of the main tank. It maintains
the level of oil in the transformer. If the oil level falls more air
comes in conservator through the breather which is nothing but
silica gel. And if the level of the oil rises the air pumped out to
maintain the pressure. The level of the oil can be monitored by an
indicator on the surface of the conservator. This arrangement also
ensures that surface area of the transformer oil exposed to the
atmosphere is limited so as to prevent fast oxidation and
consequent deterioration of insulating properties of the oil.
Breather
Marshalling box
It is a sort of local control box which houses control for cooling fans
and pumps. There is an oil temperature indicator and winding
temperature as well.

Bus coupler
Bus -
Odd numbered bus is connected to generating unit by convention. This is
also considered keeping in mind the fact that every bus has a separate
set of protection unit for reliability.
Thus, bus no. 1 is connected to unit no. 1 and bus no. 2 is connected to
unit no. 2.
By pass bus
This bus is a back up bus which comes handy when any of the buses
become faulty, when any operating bus has a fault. The bypass bus is
brought into the circuit and then the faulty line is removed, thereby,
restoring the healthy power line.
Isolator
It operates off load and is mechanical in nature. If any part of the circuit is
to be isolated to work on it during the off load condition, only the circuit is
isolated using isolator. The essential difference between a circuit breaker
and isolator is the presence of quenching such as air or oil in the circuit
breaker. An isolator cannot be used in on load condition because an arc is
formed which may touch the earth thus converting it into a line fault.

coupler is separate the supply from two sources. It helps to shut fault
supply.
GENERATOR
Mechanical:
Electrical:
Because power transferred into the field circuit is much less than in the
armature circuit, AC generators nearly always have the field winding on
the rotor and the stator as the armature winding. Only a small amount of
field current must be transferred to the moving rotor, using slip rings.
Direct current machines necessarily have the commutator on the rotating
shaft, so the armature winding is on the rotor of the machine.
