 Safety system and interlock requirement in plant.
 Know overview of all power generation plant.
 Selection of instrumentation system to power plant.

UNIT I INTRODUCTION:
Piping and instrumentation diagram of a thermal power plant, basic process on a boiler, Fuel
measurement- review of pressure and temperature measurement steam and water flow
measurement – instrument applications in power stations: review of indicating and recording
instrument applications in power stations: review of indicating and recording instruments, water
level gauge for boiler drums, closed circuit television instrument, gas analysis meters, smoke
instruments, dust monitormeasurementof impurities in feed water and steam generator coolant
controls and instruments-instrumentmaintenance aspects.

UNIT IIBOILER CONTROL-I:

Boiler control objectives-combustion of fuels (gaseous liquid, and solid),excess air, combustion
chemistry and products of combustion, requirement for excess combustion, aircirculationof
