3. Abstract A very peculiar fact about electrical energy is that neither it is directly available in nature nor it is directly used finally in this form, yet it is so widely produced and is the most popular high grade energy. The Kota thermal power plant was run with an objective to reduce - tube failures, un-burnt coal, plant down time, operating cost as well to increase the production. It is desirable to have minimal maintenance and Plant Load Factor (PLF) achieved is better than 90%. To achieve these goals higher, recently at Kota Super Thermal Power Station (KSTPS) the plant control system was upgraded at unit  – 1 & 2 from Trans-data technology to Distributed Control System (DCS) technology. The Unit  – 1 & 2 represent 2 X 110 MWs capacity. Kota Super Thermal Power Station has total installed capacity of 1240 Megawatts . . The objective was achieved with remarkable improvement in the Un-burnt coal, Boiler Tube leakage and plant availability > 95%. In Plant Coal is used to generate most electric power because it offers economic and reliability advantages over other fuels The purpose behind training is to understand the difficult concepts in a better way with gain of knowledge. Report starts with a brief introduction of KSTPS Profile followed by Boiler, Generator, Turbine, switch gear, switch yard etc. While writing the report and while I was on my training I was wondering that science is as ever expanding field and the engineers working hard day and night and make the life a gift for us.

4. K.S.T.P.S PROFILE 

Fig.1.1 TWO CHIMNIS OF KSTPS

KOTA SUPER THERMAL POWER STATION is ideally located on the left bank of  Chambal River at the upstream of “KOTA BARRAGE”. Thermal power station to

produce electrical power for supply undertakings K.S.T.P.S. is designed for ultimate capacity of 1240 MW. The state Rajasthan is predominantly rural and agricultural .While Rajasthan mineral sources are immense, its sources for power generation weren’t

commensurable with its requirements. The large expense of water, stored by the “barrage” provides, as efficient direct circula tion cooling system for the power station thus avoiding installation of cooling towers. For bringing in coal for power station and machinery and equipment etc. a 15Km long private siding from the Gurla Railway Station on Delhi-Bombay broad gauge line has been laid-up to the power station. Keeping in view the higher demands of power, it was decided to house initially a 2 x 200 MW thermal power station at Kota on techno-economical reasons as followsAvailability of clean water required for station Proximity to Madhya Pradesh Coal fields. Concentration of load in Kota region due to large No. of  industries located.   

The coal linkage for the power station is brought from Dudhichua mines of Singrauli coal field which is about 800 km from Kota. The source of Water (cooling for the P.S.) is the reservoir formed by “Kota Barrage” on the Chambal River. The water is drawn from this reservoir and after use

released near the left main canal of the barrage. The comparative use of water from barrage by the P.S. is 2.75 cusec for each 110 MW unit. A single chimney of 180 Meters height with two separate flues for the two units each of 110 MW is provided. Similarly another chimney with three separate flues is also provided for another three units of 210 MW each. The disposal for fifth unit till now is also through the second chimney.

INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING OF UNITS: -

Construction work for stage-I started in 1977 and first unit of 110 MW was commissioned on 17 th Jan. 1983.The second 110 MW unit was firstly synchronized in July 1983. The second stage units are synchronized in 1989. The second unit of  second stage was commissioned in Oct. 1989. After that unit of 210 Mw was started in April 11, 1984. The commencement of unit VI, in Stage IV started in July, 2001 and the synchronization of the unit was done in July, 2003 and unit VII was done in 2009. Thus the units in K.S.T.P.S. are as: Stage I - (Two units each of 110 MW) = 2X110 MW Stage II- (Two units each of 210 MW) = 2X210 MW Stage III- (one unit of 210 MW) = 210 MW Stage IV- (one unit of 195 MW) = 195 MW Stage V- (one unit of 195 MW) =195 MW TOTAL POWER GENERATION

= 1240 MW

5. CIRCUITS  5.1 INTRODUCTION 

7

A control system of station basically works on Rankin Cycle. Steam is produced in Boiler is exported in prime mover and is condensed in condenser to be fed into the boiler again. In practice of good number of modifications are affected so as to have heat economy and to increase the thermal efficiency of plant.

Fig 1.2 plant overview The Kota Thermal Power Station is divided into four main circuits: (i) Fuel & Ash Circuit: Fuel from the storage is fed to the boiler through fuel handling device. The fuel used in KTPS is coal, which on combustion in the boiler produced the ash. The quantity of ash produced is approximately 35-40% of coal used. This ash is collected at the back of the boiler and removed to ash storage tank through ash disposal equipment. (ii) Air and Gas Circuit: Air from the atmosphere is supplied to the combustion chamber of Boiler through the action of forced draft fan and induced draft fan. The flue gas gases are first pass around the boiler tubes and super heated tubes in the furnace, next through dust collector (ESP) & then economizer. Finally, they are exhausted to the atmosphere through fans. (iii) Feed Water and Steam Circuit : The condensate leaving the condenser is first heated in low pressure (LP) heaters through extracted steam from the lower pressure extraction of the turbine. Then its goes to dearator where extra air and non-condensable gases 8

are removed from the hot water to avoid pitting / oxidation. From deaerator it goes to boiler feed pump which increases the pressure of the water. From the BFP it passes through the high pressure heaters. A small part of water and steam is lost while passing through different components therefore water is added in hot well. This water is called the make up water. Thereafter, feed water enters into the boiler drum through economizer. In boiler tubes water circulates because of density difference in lower and higher temperature section of the boiler. The wet steam passes through superheated. From superheated it goes into the HP turbine after expanding in the HP turbine. The low pressure steam called the cold reheat steam (CRH) goes to the reheater( boiler). From reheater it goes to IP turbine and then to the LP turbine and then exhausted through the condenser into hotwell. (iv) Cooling Water Circuit : A large quantity of cooling water is required to condense the steam in condenser and marinating low pressure in it. The water is drawn from reservoir and after use it is drained into the river.

6.1 BOILER 6.1.1 Introduction : 9

Boiler is a device meant for producing steam under pressure .A boiler is a closed vessel in which water,under pressure is converted into steam . It is one of the major components of a thermal power plant. A boiler is always designed to absorb maximum amount of heat released in process of  combustion.

Types of boiler Fire tube boiler:In this type the products of combustion pass through the tubes which are surrounded by water. These are economical for low pressure only. Water tube boiler:In this type of boiler water flows inside the tubes and hot gases flow outside the tubes. These tubes are interconnected to common water channels and to steam outlet. The water tube boilers have many advantages over the fire tube boilers · High evaporation capacity due to availability of large heating surface. · Better heat transfer to the mass of water. · Better efficiency of plant owing to rapid and uniform circulation of water in tubes. · Better overall control.

6.1.4 Air Preheater: An Air preheater increases the temperature of the air supplied for coal burning by deriving heat from flue gases. The air preheater extracts heat from flue gases and increases the temperature of air used for coal combustion. The principal benefits of preheating the air are: increased thermal efficiency. The air pre heater is made up of Buckets, in which 3 layer of buckets are put on each other, in the middle of layer, a motor is held, which is rotate on its own axis, Air pre heater heat up the air given to the boile

6.1.6 GENERAL DESCRIPTION : Boilers are tangentially fired, balance draft, natural circulation , radiant type, dry bottom with direct fired pulverized coal from bowl mills. They are designed for burning low grade coal with high ash content. Oil burners are located between coal burners for flame stabilization. Pulverized coal is directly fed from the coal mills to the burners at the four corners of the furnace through coal pipes. The pulverized fuel pipes from the mills to the bunkers are provided with basalt lined bends to reduce erosion and to improve the life of  these pipes owing to poor grade of coal there is a high percentage of mill rejects. The mill rejects are conveyed in a sluice way to an under-ground tank. From this tank the mixture is taken to an overhead hydro-bin where water is decanted and the mill reject are disposed off by trucking. ESP with collection efficiency of 99.8% have been provided to reduce environmental pollution and to minimize induce draft fan wear. A multi-flue reinforced concrete stack with two internal flues has been provided. Two boiler feed pumps each of 100 % capacity are driven by AC motor through hyd. coupling with scoop tube arrangement for regulating feed water pressure for each unit. For ensuring safe operation of boilers, furnace safe guard supervisory system (FSSS) of combustion engineering USA designed has been installed. This equipment systematically feed fuel to furnace as per load requirement. The UV flame scanners installed at two elevation in each of the four corners of  the furnace, scan the flame conditions and in case of unsafe working conditions but out fuel and trip the boiler and consequently the turbine. Turbine  – boiler interlocks safe guarding the boiler against possibility furnace explosion owing to flame failure. Facilities have been provided to simultaneously unload and transfer 10 light oil and 40 heavy oil tankers to the designated tanks. Oil preheating arrangement is provided on the tanks floors for the heavy oil tanks.

6.2 STEAM TURBINE  6.2.1 INTRODUCTION : The dry and superheated steam from the superheater is fed to the steam turbine through main valve.. It converts the potential or kinetic energy of the working substance into mechanical power by virtue of dynamic action of  working substance. When the working substance is steam it is called the steam turbine.

Fig 1.9 Steam Turbine used in power plant

Classification of steam turbine: (A) On the Basis of Principle of Operation : i) Impulse turbine ii) Impulse-reaction turbine

6.2.2 Impulse Turbine: If the flow of steam through the nozzles and moving

blades of a turbine takes place in such a manner that the steam is expanded only in nozzles and pressure at the outlet sides of the blades is equal to that at inlet side; such a turbine is termed as impulse turbine because it works on the principle of impulse. In other words, in impulse turbine, the drop in pressure of  steam takes place only in nozzles and not in moving blades. This is obtained by making the blade passage of constant cross- section area As a general statement it may be stated that energy transformation takes place only in nozzles and moving blades (rotor) only cause energy transfer. Since the rotor 17

blade passages do not cause any acceleration of fluid, hence chances of flow separation are greater which results in lower stage efficiency. 6.2.3 Impulse-Reaction Turbine: In this turbine, the drop in pressure of steam

takes place in fixed (nozzles) as well as moving blades. The pressure drop suffered by steam while passing through the moving blades causes a further generation of kinetic energy within the moving blades, giving rise to reaction and adds to the propelling force which is applied through the rotor to the turbine shaft. Since this turbine works on the principle of impulse and reaction both, so it is called impulse-reaction turbine. This is achieved by making the blade passage of varying cross-sectional area (converging type)

Description of 210 MW Steam Turbine 6.2.4 Steam flow :

210 MW steam turbine is a tandem compound machine with HP, IP & LP parts. The HP part is single flow cylinder and HP & LP parts are double flow cylinders. The individual turbine rotors and generator rotor are rigidly coupled. The HP cylinder has a throttle control. Main steam is admitted before blending by two combined main stop and control valves. The HP turbine exhaust (CRH) leading to reheat have tow swing check valves that prevent back flow of hot steam from reheated, into HP turbine. The steam coming from reheated called HRH is passed to turbine via two combined stop and control valves. The IP turbine exhausts directly goes to LP turbine by cross ground pipes.(3)

18

6.2.5 HP Turbine

The HP casing is a barrel type casing without axial joint. Because of its rotation symmetry the barrel type casing remain constant in shape and leak proof  during quick change in temperature. The inner casing too is cylinder in shape as horizontal joint flange are relieved by higher pressure arising outside and this can kept small. Due to this reason barrel type casing are especially suitable for quick start up and loading.

19

6.2.6 IP Turbine

The IP part of turbine is of double flow construction. The casing of IP turbine is split horizontally and is of double shell construction. The double flow inner casing is supported kinematically in the outer casing. The steam from HP turbine after reheating enters the inner casing from above and below through two inlet nozzles. The center flow compensates the axial thrust and prevents steam inlet temperature affecting brackets, bearing etc. The arrangements of  inner casing confines high steam inlet condition to admission branch of casing, while the joints of outer casing is subjected only to lower pressure and temperature at the exhaust of inner casing. The pressure in outer casing relieves the joint of inner casing so that this joint is to be sealed only against resulting differential pressure. 6.2.7 LP Turbine

The casing of double flow type LP turbine is of three shell design. The shells are axially split and have rigidly welded construction. The outer casing consists of  the front and rear walls, the lateral longitudinal support bearing and upper part.

6.4 COOLING SYSTEM : 6.4.1 INTRODUCTION : for cooling generator a hydrogen cooling system is employed. Hydrogen is used for cooling medium primarily because of its ability to transfer heat through forced convection is about 75% better than superior cooling properties & low density. This reduces the windage losses in high speed machine like turbo-generator. Increasing the hydrogen pressure the machine improve its capacity to absorb & remote heat. Relative cooling properties of air and hydrogen are given below :

1) Elimination of fire risk because hydrogen will not support combustion. 2) Corona discharge is not harmful to insulation? Since oxidation is not possible. 3) Smooth operation of machine in view of vertical elimination of wind age noise & the use of heavy gas light enclosure and dirty probe casing. 6.4.2 HYDROGEN DRYERS:

Two nos. of dryers are provided to absorb the hydrogen in the Generator. Moisture in this gas is absorbed by silica gel in the dryer as the absorbed gas passes through it. The satural of silica gel is indicated by change in its color from blue to pink. The silica gel is reactivated by heating. By suitable change over from drier to the other on un-interrupted drying is achieved.

6.6 Dearator  A Dearator is a device that is widely used for the removal of air and other dissolved gases from the feed water to steam generating boilers. In particular, dissolved oxygen in boiler feed waters will cause serious corrosion damage in steam systems by attaching to the walls of metal piping and other metallic equipment and forming oxides (rust). It also combines with any dissolved carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid that causes further corrosion. Most Dearator is designed to remove oxygen down to levels of 7 ppm by weight (0.0005 cm³/L) or less.(2)

Fig. 1.11 Dearator used in thermal power station.

27

6.7 Condenser  The surface condenser is a shell and tube heat exchanger in which cooling water is circulated through the tubes. The exhaust steam from the low pressure turbine enters the shell where it is cooled and converted to condensate (water) by flowing over the tubes as shown in the adjacent diagram. Such condensers use steam ejectors or rotary motor-driven exhausters for continuous removal of air and gases from the steam side to maintain vacuum. For best efficiency, the temperature in the condenser must be kept as low as practical in order to achieve the lowest possible pressure in the condensing steam. Since the condenser temperature can almost always be kept significantly below 100°C where the vapor pressure of water is much less than atmospheric pressure, the condenser generally works under vacuum.(3)

Fig. 1.12 condenser 

To condense volume of cooling water is huge and continuous volume of  cooling water is essential. In most of the power stations , the same water is to be used over and over again, so the heat which the water extract from the steam in the condenser is removed by pumping water out of cooling tower. The cooling tower is simple concrete shell acting of air. The water is sprayed out at top of tower and as it falls into pond beneath it cooled by the upward draft of air. The cold water in the pond is then re-circulated by pumps to condensers. 28

6.7.1 Feed Water Heater: In the case of a conventional steam-electric power plant utilizing a drum boiler, the surface condenser removes the latent heat of vaporization from the steam as it changes states from vapor to liquid. The heat content (btu) in the steam is referred to as Enthalpy. The condensate pump then pumps the condensate water through a feed water heater. The feed water heating equipment then raises the temperature of the water by utilizing extraction steam from various stages of the turbine. Preheating the feed water reduces the irreversibility involved in steam generation and therefore improves the thermodynamic efficiency of the system. This reduces plant operating costs and also helps to avoid thermal shock to the boiler metal when the feed water is introduced back into the steam cycle.(5)

Fans used in a Thermal Power Plant 6.7.2 Force draught fan In order to burn the coal and convert it to heat, there should be a supply for large amounts of air. Air combustion is supplied by force draught. Part of  the air (primary air) goes to the mills picking up the powdered coal. The rest of  the air (secondary air) after passing through the air preheater enters the furnace through the dampers (controlled openings).

Fig. 1.13 Force Draught fan

29

6.7.3 Induced Draught Fans The function of induced draught fan is to draw the flue gas out of the furnace.itis placed near the stack. In an Induced draught system, the blower is installed near the base of the chimney and the burnt gases are sucked out of  the boiler, reducing the pressure inside the boiler to less than atmosphere one

6.10 COAL HANDLING PLANT  INTRODUCTION:

It can be called the heart of thermal power plant because it provided the fuel for combustion in boiler. The coal is brought to the KTPS through rails there are fourteen tracks in all for transportation of coal through rails. The main coal sources for KTPS are SECL (South Eastern Coalfields Limited), ECL (Eastern Coalfield Limited) and BCCL (Bharat Coking Coal Limited). Everyday 3 to 4 trains of coal are unloaded at KTPS. Each train consists of 58 wagons and each wagon consists of 50 tons of coal. The approximate per day consumption at KTPS is about 1400 metric tons. It costs approximate 2 crores of rupees per day including transportation expenses. The coal is firstly unloaded from wagon by wagon triplers then crushed by crushers and magnetic pulley and pulverized to be transformed to the boiler. The whole transportation of coal is through conveyor belt operated by 3-Ø Induction motor.

Wagon Unloading System.

2)

Crushing System.

3)

Conveying System.

WAGON UNLOADING SYSTEM: Wagon Tripler: It unloads the coal from wagon to hopper. The hopper, which is made of Iron, is in the form of net so that coal pieces of only equal to and less than 200 mm. size pass through it. The bigger ones are broken by the workers with the help of hammers. From the hopper coal pieces fall on the vibrator. It is a mechanical system having two rollers each at its ends. The rollers roll with the help of a rope moving on pulley operated by a slip ring induction motor with specification: Rated Output. Rated Voltage. Rated Current.

The four rollers place themselves respectively behind the first and the last pair of wheels of the wagon. When the motor operates the rollers roll in forward direction moving the wagon towards the “Wagon Table”. On the Wagon table a limit is specified in which wagon has to be kept otherwise the triple would not be achieved. Crushing System: Crusher House: It consists of crushers which are used to crush the coal to 20 mm. size. There are mainly two type of crushers working in KTPS:Primary Crushers i.e. i) Rail crushers or ii) Rotary breaker. Secondary Crushers. i.e. Ring granulators. Primary Crushers: Primary crushers are provided in only CHP stage 3 system , which breaking of  coal in CHO Stage 1 & Stage 2 system is done at wagon tripler hopper jail up to the size (-) 250 mm.

Secondary Crusher: Basically there are four ways to reduce material size: impact attrition, Shearing and Compression. Most of the crushers employ a combination of three crushing methods. Ring granulators crush by compressing accompanied by impact and shearing. The unique feature of this granulator is the minimum power required for tone for this type of material to be crushed compared to that of other type of  crushers. Construction & Operation: Secondary crushers are ring type granulators crushing at the rate of 550 TPH / 750 TPH for input size of 250 mm. and output size of 20 mm. The crusher is coupled with motor and gearbox by fluid coupling. Main parts of granulator like break plates, cages, crushing rings and other internal parts are made of tough manganese (Mn) steel. The rotor consists of four rows of crushing rings each set having 20 Nos. of  toothed rings and 18 Nos. of plain rings. In CHP Stage 1 & 2 having 64 Nos. of  ring hammers. These rows are hung on a pair of suspension shaft mounted on rotor discs. Crushers of this type employ the centrifugal force of swinging rings stroking the coal to produce the crushing action. The coal is admitted at the top and the rings stroke the coal downward. The coal discharges through grating at the bottom. The spacing of the bar determines the maximum size of the finished product. CONVEYING SYSTEM: Stacker Reclaimer: The stacker re-claimer unit can stack the material on to the pipe or reclaim the stack filed material and fed on to the main line conveyor. While stacking material is being fed from the main line conveyor via tripler unit and vibrating 38

feeder on the intermediate conveyor which feds the boom conveyor of the stacker cum reclaimer. During reclaiming the material discharged on to the boom conveyor by the bucket fitted to the bucket wheel body and boom conveyor feeds the material on the main line conveyor running in the reverse direction.

6.13 CONCLUSION  After the successive completion of my training I got the practical knowledge of  power plant and make my knowledge better than before.

The architecture of the power plant the way various units are linked and the way working of whole plant is controlled make the student realize that engineering is not just learning the structured description and working of  various machines, but the greater part is of planning proper management.

I hope this training will help me for my career and to enrich my knowledge to become a good engineer.

It also provides an opportunities to lean low technology used at proper place and time can cave a lot of labour e.g wagon tippler(CHP). I am very thankful to everyone who helped me directly or indirectly during my training. It was a memorable experience for me to take training.

But there are few factors that require special mention. Training is not carried out into its tree sprit. It is recommended that there should be some project specially meant for students where presence of authorities should be ensured. There should be strict monitoring of the performance of students and system of grading be improved on the basis of work done.
