About Electricity
 Principle of Electricity was given by Michael Faraday in early 1830s.
 Electricity is generated by the movement of a loop of wire, or disc between
the poles of magnet.
 Faraday’s Law of Induction : The induced emf in any closed circuit is equal to
the negative of the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the
circuit.
10

Rankine Cycle
Fig. d: Graph PV & TS
Courtesy : www.learnEngineering.org
 Rankine Cycle is an idealised thermodynamic
cycle of heat engine that conversts heat into
mechanical work
 Efficiency of Rankine cycle is limited by the
high heat of vaporization of the fluid.

 Pulverised Coal is fed to boilers by belt conveyors.
15
Pulverisation :-
 Investment cost of plant is
increased.
 Explosion hazards exist.
 Auxiliary power consumption
of the plant increased.
 Rate of combustion can be
controlled.
 Even low grade coal can be
used.
 The percentage of excess air
required is low.
16
Boiler :-
A Boiler is a closed vessel in which water, under pressure is converted
into steam.
Boiler
17
Ash Handling Plant :-
 The Ash so produced is moved to Ash Handling plant.
 Ash is cooled and then sent to Ash Storage plant.
 Ash is used to make bricks, Roads, Cement, Land Filling, In agriculture, Mine
filling, Fertilisers, etc.
Fig. i: Ash Handling Plant

18
Electrostatic Precipitator :-
 Used to remove dust and other fine particulates from the flue gases before
disposing them in the atmosphere.
 Consists of highly charged plates.
 Suspension Passes through an electrically discharged area where ionization
takes place.
 The particulates are wiped off and clear smoke is disposed off.
19
Super Heater :-
 A Super Heater is device which superheats the steam, it raises the
temperature of Steam above Boiling Point of Water.
 Increases Overall Efficiency.
 Too much condensation in turbine is avoided.
 Steam is heated by the flue gases.
 Types :-
 Radiant Super Heater.
 Convection Super Heater.
20
Radiant Super heater
 Placed in the furnace between
water walls and receives heat from
the burning fuel through radiation
process.
 Disadvantage :-
 Due to high furnace temperature it
may get over heated, hence
require careful design.
Convection Super heater
 Place in the boiler tube bank and
receives heat from flue gases
through convection process.
 Advantage :-
 Temperature increases with the
increase in steam output.
21
Economiser :-
 It is feed water heater.
 Derives heat from flue gases.
 Feed water is supplied to it before supplying to boiler.
 Economiser uses the heat of flue gases and uses it for heating feed water.
Flue Gases

Air Preheater :-
 It increases the temperature of air supplied for coal burning by deriving heat
from flue gases.
 Air is drawn from atmosphere by forced draught fan.
 It extracts heat from the flue gases and increases the temperature of air used
for coal combustion.
 Principal benefits are :-
 Increased thermal efficiency.
 Increased steam capacity per square meter of boiler surface.
23
Steam Turbine :-
 The heat energy of steam when passing over the blades of turbine is
converted into mechanical energy.
 Advantages :
 Speed
 Less floor Area
 Low Maintenance cost
Fig. k: Steam Turbine Model
Courtesy : Captured by Me
24
Condenser :-
 A Condenser is a device which condenses the steam at the exhaust of turbine.
 It creates very low pressure at the exhaust of the turbine, permitting
expansion of steam in the prime mover at very low pressure.
 Condensed steam can be used as feed water to the boiler.
Fig. l: Condenser
Courtesy : http://upload.wikimedia.org
25
Types Of Condensers :-
 No direct contact between cooling
water and exhausted steam.
 Cooling water flows through the
tubes and exhausted steam over the
surface of the tubes.
 Cooling water and exhausted
steam are mixed together.
 Temperature of cooling water
and condensate is the same
when leaving the condenser.
26
Cooling Tower :-
 Is a heat rejection device which extracts waste heat to the atmosphere
through the cooling of a water steam to lower the temperature.
Fig. m: Cooling Tower

27
Water Treatment Plant :-
 Boilers require clean and soft water for longer life and better efficiency.
 Courtesy of boiler feed water is river or lake which may contain suspended
and dissolved impurities, dissolved gases.
 So the water must be first purified and Softened by Chemical Treatment and
then feed to boiler.
 Suspended impurities are removed by
 Sedimentation
 Coagulation
 Filtration
 Dissolved Gases are removed by Aeration and Degasification.
 Water is Soften by removing temporary and permanent hardness by Chemical
process.
28
Alternator :-
 Alternator is machine which converts the mechanical energy into the
electrical energy.
 Alternator is mechanically coupled with the steam turbine.
 Alternator may be Hydrogen or Air Cooled.

Types Of Condensers :-  No direct contact between cooling water and exhausted steam.  Cooling water flows through the tubes and exhausted steam over the surface of the tubes.  Cooling water and exhausted steam are mixed together.  Temperature of cooling water and condensate is the same when leaving the condenser. 26
  • 27. Cooling Tower :-  Is a heat rejection device which extracts waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a water steam to lower the temperature. Fig. m: Cooling Tower Courtesy: Captured by me. 27
  • 28. Water Treatment Plant :-  Boilers require clean and soft water for longer life and better efficiency.  Courtesy of boiler feed water is river or lake which may contain suspended and dissolved impurities, dissolved gases.  So the water must be first purified and Softened by Chemical Treatment and then feed to boiler.  Suspended impurities are removed by  Sedimentation  Coagulation  Filtration  Dissolved Gases are removed by Aeration and Degasification.  Water is Soften by removing temporary and permanent hardness by Chemical process. 28
  • 29. Alternator :-  Alternator is machine which converts the mechanical energy into the electrical energy.  Alternator is mechanically coupled with the steam turbine.  Alternator may be Hydrogen or Air Cooled. Fig. n: Alternator Courtesy: www.learnEngineering.org 29
  • 30. Transformer :-  A Transformer is a static device that transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another circuit without changing the Frequency, Voltage level can be Stepped up / Stepped Down as per requirement.  In the Plant Generation is done at 33 KV.  There are 2 types of Transformers installed in the plant they are viz.:  Power Transformer  Unit Auxiliary Transformer. 30
  • 31. Main Parts of Switchyard :-  Circuit Breaker  Isolator  Current Transformer  Potential Transformer  Lightning Arrestor 31
  • 32. Circuit Breaker :-  Circuit Breaker is a mechanical device which is used to make or break an electrical circuit under normal & abnormal conditions.  It’s used to protect the electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or Short Circuit.

  • 33. Isolator :-  It’s used to ensure that an electrical circuit is completely de-energized for maintenance.  It’s used under NO LOAD condition. So are called as OFF-LOAD DEVICES.

  • 34. Instrument Transformers :-  Current Transformer : It used for measuring alternating electrical current.  Potential Transformer : It is used in power systems to step down extra high voltage signals and provide a low voltage signal, for measurement or to operate a protective relay.

  • 35. Lightening Arrestor :-  These are used to protect the switchyard from lightening phenomena.  These are installed at the entrance, before and after the transformers. Fig. s: Lightening Arrestor Courtesy : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:la.jpg 35
  • 36. Advantages :-  Fuel is very cheap  Less initial cost  Can be installed at any place.  Require less space.  Generation cost is low 36
