Thermal Power Plant

At present 54.09% or 93918.38 MW (Data Source CEA, as on 31/03/2011) of total electricity

production in India is from Coal Based Thermal Power Station. A coal based thermal power
plant converts the chemical energy of the coal into electrical energy. This is achieved by
raising the steam in the boilers, expanding it through the turbine and coupling the turbines to
the generators which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Introductory overview
In a coal based power plant coal is transported from coal mines to the power plant by
railway in wagons or in a merry-go-round system. Coal is unloaded from the wagons
to a moving underground conveyor belt. This coal from the mines is of no uniform
size. So it is taken to the Crusher house and crushed to a size of 20mm. From the
crusher house the coal is either stored in dead storage( generally 40 days coal
supply) which serves as coal supply in case of coal supply bottleneck or to the live
storage(8 hours coal supply) in the raw coal bunker in the boiler house. Raw coal
from the raw coal bunker is supplied to the Coal Mills by a Raw Coal Feeder. The
Coal Mills or pulverizer pulverizes the coal to 200 mesh size. The powdered coal
from the coal mills is carried to the boiler in coal pipes by high pressure hot air. The
pulverized coal air mixture is burnt in the boiler in the combustion zone.
Generally in modern boilers tangential firing system is used i.e. the coal nozzles/
guns form tangent to a circle. The temperature in fire ball is of the order of 1300
deg.C. The boiler is a water tube boiler hanging from the top. Water is converted to
steam in the boiler and steam is separated from water in the boiler Drum. The
saturated steam from the boiler drum is taken to the Low Temperature Superheater,
Platen Superheater and Final Superheater respectively for superheating. The
superheated steam from the final superheater is taken to the High Pressure Steam
Turbine (HPT). In the HPT the steam pressure is utilized to rotate the turbine and the
resultant is rotational energy. From the HPT the out coming steam is taken to the
Reheater in the boiler to increase its temperature as the steam becomes wet at the
HPT outlet. After reheating this steam is taken to the Intermediate Pressure Turbine
(IPT) and then to the Low Pressure Turbine (LPT). The outlet of the LPT is sent to
the condenser for condensing back to water by a cooling water system. This
condensed water is collected in the Hotwell and is again sent to the boiler in a closed
cycle. The rotational energy imparted to the turbine by high pressure steam is
converted to electrical energy in the Generator.

Principal
Coal based thermal power plant works on the principal of Modified Rankine Cycle.

Components of Coal Fired Thermal Power Station:
Coal Preparation
i) Fuel preparation system: In coal-fired power stations, the raw
feed coal from the coal storage area is first crushed into small pieces
and then conveyed to the coal feed hoppers at the boilers. The coal is next
pulverized into a very fine powder, so that coal will undergo
complete combustion during combustion process.
** pulverizer is a mechanical device for the grinding of many different
types of materials. For example, they are used to pulverize coal for combustion in the steam-
generating furnaces of fossil fuel power plants.
Types of Pulverisers: Ball and Tube mills; Ring and Ball mills; MPS;
Ball mill; Demolition.


ii) Dryers: they are used in order to remove the excess moisture from coal mainly wetted
during transport. As the presence of moisture will result in fall in efficiency due to
incomplete combustion and also result in CO emission
iii) Magnetic separators: coal which is brought may contain iron particles. These iron
particles may result in wear and tear. The iron particles may include bolts, nuts wire fish
plates etc. so these are unwanted and so are removed with the help of
magnetic separators.
The coal we finally get after these above process are transferred to the storage site.
Purpose of fuel storage is two
Fuel storage is insurance from failure of normal operating supplies to arrive.
Storage permits some choice of the date of purchase, allowing the purchaser to take
advantage of seasonal market conditions. Storage of coal is primarily a matter of
protection against the coal strikes, failure of the transportation system & general coal
shortages.

There are two types of storage:
1. Live Storage(boiler room storage): storage from which coal may be
withdrawn to supply combustion equipment with little or no remanding is live
storage. This storage consists of about 24 to 30 hrs. of coal requirements of
the plant and is usually a covered storage in the plant near the boiler furnace.
The live storage can be provided with bunkers & coal bins. Bunkers are
enough capacity to store the requisite of coal. From bunkers coal is
transferred to the boiler grates.
2. Dead storage- stored for future use. Mainly it is for longer period of time, and it is
also mandatory to keep a backup of fuel for specified amount of days depending on
the reputation of the company and its connectivity.There are many forms of storage
some of which are
1. Stacking the coal in heaps over available open ground areas.
2. As in (I). But placed under cover or alternatively in bunkers.
3. Allocating special areas & surrounding these with high reinforced concerted
retaking walls.
Boiler and auxiliaries
A Boiler or steam generator essentially is a container into which water can be fed and steam
can be taken out at desired pressure, temperature and flow. This calls for application of heat
on the container. For that the boiler should have a facility to burn a fuel and release the heat.
The functions of a boiler thus can be stated as:-
1. To convert chemical energy of the fuel into heat energy
2. To transfer this heat energy to water for evaporation as well to steam for superheating.
The basic components of Boiler are: -
1. Furnace and Burners
2. Steam and Superheating
a. Low temperature superheater
b. Platen superheater
c. Final superheater
Economiser
It is located below the LPSH in the boiler and above pre heater. It is there to improve the
efficiency of boiler by extracting heat from flue gases to heat water and send it to boiler
drum.
Advantages of Economiser include
1) Fuel economy: used to save fuel and increase overall efficiency of boiler plant.
2) Reducing size of boiler: as the feed water is preheated in the economiser and enter boiler
tube at elevated temperature. The heat transfer area required for evaporation reduced
considerably.
Air Preheater
The heat carried out with the flue gases coming out of economiser are further utilized for
preheating the air before supplying to the combustion chamber. It is a necessary equipment
for supply of hot air for drying the coal in pulverized fuel systems to facilitate grinding and
satisfactory combustion of fuel in the furnace
Reheater
Power plant furnaces may have a reheater section containing tubes heated by hot flue gases
outside the tubes. Exhaust steam from the high pressure turbine is rerouted to go inside the
reheater tubes to pickup more energy to go drive intermediate or lower pressure turbines.
Steam turbines
Steam turbines have been used predominantly as prime mover in all thermal power stations.
The steam turbines are mainly divided into two groups: -
1. Impulse turbine
2. Impulse-reaction turbine
The turbine generator consists of a series of steam turbines interconnected to each other and a
generator on a common shaft. There is a high pressure turbine at one end, followed by an
intermediate pressure turbine, two low pressure turbines, and the generator. The steam at high
temperature (536 c to 540 c) and pressure (140 to 170 kg/cm2) is expanded in the turbine.
Condenser
The condenser condenses the steam from the exhaust of the turbine into liquid to allow it to
be pumped. If the condenser can be made cooler, the pressure of the exhaust steam is reduced
and efficiency of the cycle increases. The functions of a condenser are:-
1) To provide lowest economic heat rejection temperature for steam.
2) To convert exhaust steam to water for reserve thus saving on feed water requirement.
3) To introduce make up water.
We normally use surface condenser although there is one direct contact condenser as well. In
direct contact type exhaust steam is mixed with directly with D.M cooling water.
Boiler feed pump
Boiler feed pump is a multi stage pump provided for pumping feed water to economiser. BFP
is the biggest auxiliary equipment after Boiler and Turbine. It consumes about 4 to 5 % of
total electricity generation.
Cooling tower
The cooling tower is a semi-enclosed device for evaporative cooling of water by contact with
air. The hot water coming out from the condenser is fed to the tower on the top and allowed
to tickle in form of thin sheets or drops. The air flows from bottom of the tower or
perpendicular to the direction of water flow and then exhausts to the atmosphere after
effective cooling.
The cooling towers are of four types: -
1. Natural Draft cooling tower
2. Forced Draft cooling tower
3. Induced Draft cooling tower
4. Balanced Draft cooling tower
Fan or draught system
In a boiler it is essential to supply a controlled amount of air to the furnace for effective
combustion of fuel and to evacuate hot gases formed in the furnace through the various heat
transfer area of the boiler. This can be done by using a chimney or mechanical device such as
fans which acts as pump.
i) Natural draught
When the required flow of air and flue gas through a boiler can be obtained by the stack
(chimney) alone, the system is called natural draught. When the gas within the stack is hot, its
specific weight will be less than the cool air outside; therefore the unit pressure at the base of
stack resulting from weight of the column of hot gas within the stack will be less than the
column of extreme cool air. The difference in the pressure will cause a flow of gas through
opening in base of stack. Also the chimney is form of nozzle, so the pressure at top is very
small and gases flow from high pressure to low pressure at the top.

ii) Mechanized draught
There are 3 types of mechanized draught systems
1) Forced draught system
2) Induced draught system
3) Balanced draught system
Forced draught: In this system a fan called Forced draught fan is installed at the inlet of
the boiler. This fan forces the atmospheric air through the boiler furnace and pushes out the
hot gases from the furnace through superheater, reheater, economiser and air heater to stacks.
Induced draught: Here a fan called ID fan is provided at the outlet of boiler, that is, just
before the chimney. This fan sucks hot gases from the furnace through the superheaters,
economiser, reheater and discharges gas into the chimney. This results in the furnace pressure
lower than atmosphere and affects the flow of air from outside to the furnace.
Balanced draught:-In this system both FD fan and ID fan are provided. The FD fan is
utilized to draw control quantity of air from atmosphere and force the same into furnace. The
ID fan sucks the product of combustion from furnace and discharges into chimney. The point
where draught is zero is called balancing point.

Ash handling system
The disposal of ash from a large capacity power station is of same importance as ash is
produced in large quantities. Ash handling is a major problem.
i) Manual handling: While barrows are used for this. The ash is collected directly through
the ash outlet door from the boiler into the container from manually.
ii) Mechanical handling: Mechanical equipment is used for ash disposal, mainly bucket
elevator, belt conveyer. Ash generated is 20% in the form of bottom ash and next 80%
through flue gases, so called Fly ash and collected in ESP.

iii) Electrostatic precipitator: From air preheater this flue gases (mixed with ash) goes to
ESP. The precipitator has plate banks (A-F) which are insulated from each other between
which the flue gases are made to pass. The dust particles are ionized and attracted by charged
electrodes. The electrodes are maintained at 60KV.Hammering is done to the plates so that
fly ash comes down and collect at the bottom. The fly ash is dry form is used in cement
manufacture.

Generator
Generator or Alternator is the electrical end of a turbo-generator set. It is generally known as
the piece of equipment that converts the mechanical energy of turbine into electricity. The
generation of electricity is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
