Madhumantl Roy and 5>Chandrlma Das, belonglng to Electrlcal
Englneerlng Department , at the end oI oth semester.

We have carrled out thls tralnlng under well eperlenced
and hlghly quallIled englneers oI MTPS, DVC oI varlous
departments' wlse Mechanlcal, Electrlcal, Chemlcal and Control
& Instrumentatlon depts. Thls report covers an overvlew oI a
thermal power statlon, detalled speclIlcatlons oI MTPS,DVC,
mechanlcal overvlew, electrlcal overvlew , varlous cycles and
processes [vlz. Steam Generatlon,Turbo Generatlon and Balance
oI Plantj oI power generatlon and detalls oI control and
lnstrumentatlon requlred ln thermal power plant. We have
taken the opportunlty to eplore the Electrlcal, Control &
Measurement Department, lts use, necesslty ln power plant
and malntenance oI varlous lnstruments used Ior monltorlng
and controlllng the numerous processes oI power generatlon.
We have trled our best to cover all the lnstruments and thelr
brleI detalllng ln thls project report. We have also lncluded our
Ileld eperlences oI MTPS and malntenance sectlon oI C&I
[Control & Instrumentatlonj oI MTPS and Loglc Panels provlded
by BHEL [known as FSSSj and DCS/Mlcroprocessor based system
provlded by SIEMENS and also Loglc and Mlcroprocessor based
system by MAX-DNA.

All the above mentloned toplcs wlll be presented ln the
precedlng pages oI thls report. The maln alm to carry out thls
tralnlng was to Iamlllarlze ourselves wlth the real lndustrlal
scenarlo, so that we can relate what we study ln our tetbooks
and thelr practlcal appllcatlons. Thls project report wlll also help
us ln our Iuture ln many ways when we Iace the lndustrlal world.

Power Generation



Entrusted with the responsibiIities of providing the vitaI
input power for industriaI growth in the resource rich Damodar
VaIIey region, DVC has been practicaIIy operating as a pioneer,
using Iatest avaiIabIe technoIogies to suppIy buIk power at
reasonabIe rates to the major industries.
DVC has maintained its Iead roIe in the eastern region by
adopting itseIf to the chaIIenges of time and technoIogy during the
course of Iast 59 years. DVC has been generating and transmitting
power since 1953 and has succeeded not onIy in meeting the
needs of consumers but has aIso heIped to increase the demand of
power which itseIf is an index of deveIopment.

Joint Venture Project


MAlTHON POWEH LlMlTED a joint venture company by
DVC and Tata Power has been formed to impIement 1000 MW
Maithon Right Bank ThermaI Power Project for meeting the
energy needs of power deficient regions on export basis.

OKAHO POWEH SUPPLY CO LTD (BPSCL) a joint
venture company of DVC and SAIL has been estabIished to
operate and maintain the captive power and steam
generation pIant, hived off by SAIL and its Bokaro SteeI PIant
and suppIy power and steam excIusiveIy to Bokaro SteeI Ltd.

DVC EMTA COAL MlNES LTD, a joint venture company
formed with Eastern MineraIs & Trading Agency for
deveIopment and operation of Captive CoaI Mine BIocks and
suppIy of coaI excIusiveIy to DVC ThermaI Power Projects of
10th and 11th pIan.

The idea that STEAM has potentiaI energy and can be converted into
kinetic energy was given by famous Scientist, Sir. James Watt. This idea
became the governing principaI of many mechanicaI processes and finaIIy Ied
to the success of ThermaI Power Energy. The need of estabIishing a
ThermaI Power PIant came to engineers by the reaIization of the fact that
HydeI Power couId be utiIized onIy for certain period of time in a year. This
section wiII give the basic requirements for ThermaI Power PIant.




SITE REQUIREMENT: -


The basic requirements of thermaI power pIant is determined by
the Type , size and other specifications of the pIant. It is required to know the
immediate capacity of the power pIant after construction and the extension of
capacity in the future, to determine the area required for construction of the
pIant. The basic things that are taken into consideration are 1>Station
BuiIding <2> CoaI Store <3> CooIing Towers <4>Switch yard compound <5>
Surrounding areas and approaching.



GEOLOGY : - The geoIogy of the site shouId be cost effective and
the subsoiI must be abIe to withstand huge Ioad of foundation.

WATEH HEQUlHEMENT: -Water is required in power pIant for two
basic needs, first is for steam Generation and second is for cooIing
purpose. ThermaI Power PIant requires huge voIume of water, nearIy of
about 3 to 4 Tons/hr/MW onIy for steam generation. So site of pIant must
aIso have reIiabIe and huge water sources Iocated near to it.

COAL: -CoaI is the prime requirement of any thermaI power pIant, it is
the main source of fueI as it is most economic and residue of coaI after
combustion is aIso used by many industries Iike cement industries, so
the pIant must have reIiabIe sources of coaI and reguIar suppIy in
huge amount Iike 20,000 Tons per week.

THANSPOHT: - It is one of the another vitaI factor of the pIant as
huge burden Iies on transportation in daiIy basis because of huge
need of coaI, furnace oiI, hydrochIoric acid and other chemicaI
products aIong with mechanicaI products.

v0CATl0tAlTRAltl6
PR0JFCTRFP0RT
THFRHAlP0wFRPlAtT
HFJlA, ut0FR0vC

DlSPOSAL OF EFFLUENTS: -Due to heavy rate of coaI combustion
residuaI voIume is aIso high. The main residuaI product is ash. The pIant
must have faciIities Iike ash pond to dispose them safeIy without harming
the environment.

THANSMlSSlON: -The pIant area must have route avaiIabIe for
transmission over head cabIes to the nearest grid Iines or Ioad points
which wiII be capabIe of accepting the generated power output of the
power station.

CLlMATlC COND lTlON: -The tropicaI cIimate is best for erection of
thermaI power pIant, because areas having high humidity and fIuctuating
temperature Iead to dew point and condensation which as a resuIt
damages the eIectricaI machines and corrodes the insuIation Andover
head cabIes.

PHOXlMlTY OF AlHFlELDS: -The airfieIds must be studied properIy to
avoid mishaps as the chimney height ranges from 500 to 600 fits and
boiIer housing is of 200 fits in generaI.

PEHSONNEL HEQUlHEMENTS: -To run a pIant smoothIy requirement
of skiIIed and unskiIIed personneI is very important. So recruitment of
workers and skiIIed personneI shouId be made carefuIIy and in adequate
amount.

AMENlTlES: -Some considerations Iike avaiIabiIity of hospitaI,
educationaI institutes and other faciIities must be taken into account

Mejia Thermal ower Station also known as MTPS is located at Durlavpur in
the Bankura district in West Bengal. It has two units of 500 MW four units of 210
MW each and two unit of 250 MW. Special features of MTPS include its 16.2 km long
spiral welded MS water pipeline for transporting water from the right bank of
Damodar river and 220 mtrs high RCC multi flue stack which helps in preventing air
pollution. Its affluent water utilization plant has a dual purpose of water
conservation and minimization of liquid affluent discharge. The plant also employs 3
ring granulator type crushers for its coal handling system reducing the mill rejection
from the tube mill. It is one oI the 5 Thermal Power Stations oI Damodar Valley
Corporation in the state oI West Bengal. The total power plant campus area is
surrounded by boundary walls and is basically divided into two major parts, Iirst the
Power Plant area itselI (This also have two parts MTPS-A & MTPS-B) and the
second is the Colony area Ior the residence and other Iacilities Ior MTPS s
employees.
