 POWER PLANT LAYOUT
• Main Objectives
– Easy Erection of the Plant
– Easy Operation and maintenance
– Good Appearance
 POWER PLANT LAYOUT
• Broad Classification
– Site Layout
– Station Layout
– Main plant Layout
Main Considerations For Site
Layout
– Foundations
• Pile
• Raft
– Mining Support
– Level
• Protection from flood
• Cost of Civil Work
• Cost of CW pumping
• Speed and Ease of Construction
 Station Levels
Desirable
Rail sidings, Roads and Station
Basement at Existing Ground Level
Site above predicted MSL/RWL
No need of Protection against Flooding
Site below Flood Level
Lift Basement and other Installations
Flood Banks
Considerations For Main Station
• Economic use of Ground Conditions
– Place Heavy Loads on Best Ground
• Minimise G.T.Cables and Transmission
Routes
• Minimise pressurised C.W.Culvert and
outlet culvert Routes
• Minimise fuel supply and ash and dust
removal Routes
Considerations For Main Station
• Adequacy and convenience of construction
areas
• Administrative Building in a reasonably
clean environment but close access to site.
 Station Layout
• Location of Common Facilities with
reference to main plant
– C.W.System
– Coal Handling
– Oil Handling
– Water tratment Plant
– Ash Handling Plant
– Switch Yard
– Ancillary Buildings
 C.W.System
• Guaranteed supply of water to all
running sets
• Ready and Efficient control of water
Quality
• Balanced supply of water to all units
without throttling
• Minimum maintenance needs easily
carried out
• Minimum operating costs
 C.W.System
• Once through System
– Intake and out fall Distance
• Closed System
– Fore bay and Cooling Towers
• Connecting Mains
– R.C.Culvert,Spun Concrete Pipe,C.I.Pipe
– Short & Straight with out bends
– No Crossings
• Screening & Chlorination
 C.W.System
• Cooling Tower Siting Considerations
– Minimum clearance between Towers
• Half the Tower base distance
– No object obstructing air flow
– Spray at base should not fall on roads
 Coal Handling
