    Thermal Power Staton

    Thermal power plants convert heat energy from fuels like coal into electrical energy using the Rankine cycle. They have several major components, including the coal handling plant, boiler, and steam turbine. The coal handling plant receives, processes, and stores coal before feeding it to the boiler. In the boiler, heat from burning coal is used to convert water to high-pressure steam. The steam then powers the steam turbine, which is connected to a generator to produce electricity. Though thermal plants are economical and can match power demand, they also cause pollution and require large areas for operations.

    Introduction
     A thermal power plant converts heat energy into
    electrical energy.
     It operates on the Rankine cycle.
     Thermal power plants constitutes 75.43% of the
    total power generation in India.
    Working Principal
     The thermal power plants works on the Rankine cycle.
    Contd.
     Firstly the water is taken into the boiler from the water
    source. The boiler is heated with the help of coal.
     The steam generation in the boiler is take place. The
    steam from the boiler is sent through a steam turbine.
     The turbine contain blades that rotate when high
    velocity steam is flow across them.
     The turbine is connected to the generator by a shaft
    which in turns give electricity as the output. This
    electricity is supplied to the consumers through high
    voltage power-lines.
    General Layout
    Main Components
    Coal Handling Plant
     In a thermal power plant, the function of CHP is to
    receive, process, store, feed the coal bunkers
    consistently over entire life of power plant.
     CHP consist of following process:
    1. Unloading process
    2. Feeding process
    3. Screening process
    4. Crushing process
    5. Stacking process
    6. Bunkering process
    Boiler
     The boiler is a control volume equipment and also known
    as the steam generator.
     The boiler generates high pressure steam by transferring
    the heat of combustion in various heat transfer sections.
     Conversion of water to steam involves three stages:
    1. Heating the water from cold condition to boiling point –
    sensible heat addition.
    2. Water boils at saturation temperature to produce steam –
    latent heat addition.
    3. Superheating
    Contd.
    Steam Turbine
     The steam turbine is used to convert the heat energy of
    steam into the mechanical work.
     When high velocity steam strikes the rotating blades
    of turbine, K.E is developed in the blades of turbine
    which is converted into mechanical work.
     In a power plant three ( HP, IP, LP ) turbines are used.
     Each turbine consist of different stages as per the
    requirement of power plant.
     Steam turbines are of two types:
    1. Impulse turbine
    2. Reaction turbine
    Contd.
    Merits and Demerits
    Merits Demerits
     Fuel used is cheaper.  Higher maintenance
     Smaller space is required. and operational costs.
     Economical in initial cost
    compared to hydro plants and
     Pollution of the atmosphere.
    running costs are less compared  Huge requirement of water .
    to gas plants or diesel plants.  Handling of coal and disposal
     Thermal plants can be placed
    of ash is quite difficult and
    near load centres. Hence
    transmission of power losses can requires large area.
    be minimized.  Efficiency of thermal plant is
     Thermal plants are able to quite less (30-35%).
    respond to the load demand .
