WELCOME YOU

This blog is created for sharing the knowledge related to Power plant.

Power plant is a system or combination of different sub system in which one form of energy is converted in to the electrical energy.
Basically in a thermal power plant low grade of energy is converted in to the high grade of energy (electrical energy).
There are different types of power plant in which upstream  energy forms are different but the downstream energy is only electrical energy.
this electrical energy is transferred through different types (High voltage, medium voltage & low voltage) of grid.

HP Bypass Station 1:- HP/LP bypass system can handel 60% of boiler load. 2:- HPBP valve is a combined pressure reducing and desuperheating station valve 3:- Spray water is tapped from BFP discharge  and spray controled by spray control valve. 4:- HPBP dumps the depressurised and desuperheated steam with suitable parameter into CRH line. 5:-Can operate without coordinate with turbine. 6:- Allows quick raising of steam parameters at a level acceptable to turbine for rolling operqtion during start up. 7:-Oil supply unit is installed for operation of HPBP & LPBP valves  8:-Supply oil pressure is maintained at 160 kg/cm2 by the pump and accumulator unit. Modes of HP Bypass Operation 1:- Boiler start-up with TG set at stand still. 2:- Rising of steam parameters to a level acceptable to turbine for rolling. 3:- Turbine start-up and loading while steam flow gets transferred to the turbine 4:- Parallel operation with turbine on load rejection. 5:- Allowing boiler operatio

OBJECTIVE Auxiliary steam is the steam that is required for various auxiliary requirements in a power plant. A part of main steam is tapped off for auxiliary steam station from MS/CRH line, after pressure reducing and de-superheating up to 16 Kg/cm 2   & 320 °C. At the HT header (16 16 Kg/cm 2    & 320⁰C) and then at the LT header (16 Kg/cm2 & 210⁰C) through desuperheater b/w the HT & LT headers. Spray water quantity required for the temperature reduction of the steam is controlled by separate spray water valve (taken from CEP discharge). TYPES OF STATIONS System consists of  two auxiliary  steam pressure reducing and desuperheating stations (APRDS). High capacity PRDS (LTPRDS)  with tapping off steam from main steam line or CRH line . Low Capacity PRDS(LTPRDS)  from HT header. APRDS SERVICES Auxiliary steam system is designed to provide steam for following systems. 1:-  Turbine  &  Turbine auxiliaries . 2:-  Boiler auxiliaries . 3:-

CONDENSATE EXTRACTION PUMP (CEP) IN A THERMAL POWER PLANT

CONDENSATE EXTRACTION PUMP (CEP) Its Importance in Thermal Power Plant It handles water from hot well. The characteristic of that pump is that it handles water from vacuum.  Berceuse the condenser and the hot well are in vacuum bellow atmospheric pressure. No other pump has this characteristic to handle in such condition. It takes water from vacuum pressure and delivered above atmospheric pressure.   It is a vertical turbine type pump which is multi stage. It deliver water from hot well to deaerator. They may be used to pump the condensate produced from latent water vapors in any of the following mixtures: Steam condensed (exhaust from LP turbine) in condenser Make up water (dumped in condenser hot well from condensate storage tank) Flash box water LPDFT water HPDFT water Drip from ejector Drip from LPFWH   CEP for a 200 MW unit:- Each unit has been equipped with three nos. of condensate pumps installed vertically at minus four meter level in to the turbine hall.
