 ABOUT B.T.P.S

Barauni Thermal Power Station is an existing 320

megawatt coal-fired power station owned by Bihar
State power generation company limited (BSPGCL).
The power station is located at Begusarai district,
Bihar, India.
 Barauni thermal power station in Bihar came into
existence in association with the Russian
collaboration in the year 1962.
coal is supplied from Rajmahal coal field
and Urma Pahari tola,Jharkhand.
Currently two new units VIII and IX are
under construction which will increase the
power output by 500MW.
The equipments are supplied by BHEL ,
Bhopal.
The electricity generated here is sold to
North Bihar Power Holding company Ltd.
 GENERATION UNITS AT B.T.PS

There are total seven units in B.T.P.S

Two units are currently working producing total o/p
of 220 MW.
Unit no. V and VII are undergoing renovation and
modernization.
The capacity of plant will be increased to 500 MW
in next 5 years.
 Thermal power plant
A generating station which converts heat energy of
coal combustion into electrical energy.

 LAW OF CONSERVATION OF
ENERGY
Chemical energy of fuel
Heat energy in furnace
Heat energy of medium water
Kinetic energy of turbine rotor
Electromotive force
Electricity generation

Steam generating equipment
Boiler
Boiler furnace
Superheater
Economiser
Air preheater
 condenser
It condenses steam at exhaust of turbine.
It creates very low pressure at the exhaust of
turbine which helps in converting heat energy
of steam into mechanical energy in prime
mover.
The condensed steam can be used as feed
water to the boiler.
 turbines
It is used as prime mover to generator.
Three types of turbine are used :
1.HP turbine
2.IP turbine
3.LP turbine
 Electrical equipments
Generator : To generate electricity
Transformer : For required voltage
Switch yard : Onward transmission of powers
 Why coal as a fuel
Coal can provide usable energy at a cost of
between 12 to 15 % compared to oil and natural
gas, and coal prices are relatively stable.
Coal is inherently higher polluting and carbon
intensive than other energy alternatives.
However coal is so inexpensive that one can
spend quite a bit on pollution control, and still
maintain coal’s competitive position.
 Types of water required
DEMINERALISED WATER : BOILER
SOFTEN WATER : COOLING AND GENERAL
SERVICE
DRINKING WATER : DOMESTIC PURPOSE
UNTREATED WATER : ASH HANDLING,COAL
HANDLING AND FIRE FIGHTING
 observations
B.T.P.S has a very good working environment.
B.T.P.S is very sincere about cleanliness and
hygiene.
It has got a Technical training centre with very
good learning environment.
Staff is excellent and supportive and always
ready to help.
 conclusion
It is third largest thermal power plant of Bihar.
It generates 210 MW electricity and after
completion of extension project it will produce
500 MW electricity.
It is major contributor of electricity to 7 districts
of north Bihar.
