NTPC:- A Brief Introduction

NTPC is one of the India's leading power generating

corporations. Established on 7th

November 1975.

NTPC is the 6th

largest in terms of thermal generation

and second most efficient in terms of capacity utilization

amongst top 10 utilities in the world.

NTPC contributes one-fourth of India's total power generation with less than one-fifth

capacity.

Its current capacity is 24249 MW. It has 13 coal based, 7 gas based and 3 joint venture

projects.

The National Capital Power Station [NCPS], DADRI, has the distinction of being the

country's only three in one project ; consisting of 840 MW of coal based units , 829 MW

gas based modules , and a 1,500 MW H.V.D.C. converter station {under the operational

Page 6: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 6

control of P.G.C.I.L. since October '93}. Besides the station has the largest switchyard in

the country with a power handling capacity of 4,500 MW.

NTPC – WORKING (COAL TO ELECTRICITY)

STEP1: COAL TO STEAM:-

Coal from the coal wagons is unloaded in the Coal Handling Plant.

This coal is transported to the coal bunkers with the help of conveyors belts. Coal is

then transported to the bowl mills by coal feeders. This coal is pulverized in the bowl

mill where it is grounded to a powder form.

The crushed coal is taken away to the furnace through coal pipes with the help of hot

and cold air mixture from PA fan (primary air fan).

Atmospheric airs, from FD fan (force draft fan) is heated in the air heaters and send to

furnace as combustion air.

Water from the boiler feed pump passes through economizer and reaches the boiler

drum.

Page 7: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 7

Due to heat and density difference the water rises up in the water wall tubes. Water is

partly converted into steam as it rises up in the furnace. This steam and water mixture

is again taken to the boiler drum where the steam is separated from water. Water

follows the same path while the steam is send to super heater for super heating.

Flue gases from the furnace are extracted by induced draft fan.

STEP2: STEAM TO MECHANICAL POWER:-

A steam pipe from the boiler conveys steam to turbine through a stop valve and

control valve.

Steam from the control valves enter the high pressure cylinder of the turbine (HPT)

where it passes through a ring of stationary blades fixed to the cylinder wall.

The steam leaving the high pressure cylinder goes back to the boiler for reheating and

returns by a further pipe to the intermediate pressure cylinder (IPT).

Finally the steam is taken to the low pressure cylinders (LPT) as the steam gives up

its heat energy to drive the turbine its temperature and pressure fall and it expands.

The turbine shaft usually rotates at 3000 revolution per minute (rpm) this speed is

determined by the frequency of the electrical system used in this country and is the

speed at which a two pole generator must be driven to generate alternating current at

a frequency of 50 cycles per seconds.

When maximum energy has been extracted from the steam it is exhausted directly to

the condenser.

From the condenser the condensate is pumped through low pressure heaters by the

extraction pump, after which its pressure is raised to boiler pressure by boiler feed

Page 8: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 8

pump. It is passing through further feed heather to the economizer and the boiler for

re-conversion to steam.

STEP3: MECHANICAL TO ELECTRICAL POWER:-

The turbine is coupled to 2-pole generator, which produce the electrical power (210

MW-typical) at a frequency of 50Hz and voltage 16.5kv (typical).

STEP4: TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION:-

Electricity is usually produced in the stator winding of large generators at about 16.5

to 25kv and is fed to terminal connection to one side of generator transformer that

steps up the voltage to 132kv, 220kv or 400kv.

From here conductors carry it to a series of three switches comprising an isolator, a

circuit breaker and another isolator.

Thermal Power Plant

Stage I of Thermal plant has 4 units each of capacity 210 MW while StageII has 2 units

of 490 MW each.

The two basic neccesities are Coal and Water. Supply of coal is from North Karanpura

Bihar (1150km from plant). Water is taken from Dehra feeder, Upper Ganga Canal.

The Water used in plant is in Demineralised Form for which separate DM plant is

established.

BOILER

The stage I of plant has 4 units. Each unit has its own Boiler, Turbine Generator, fans etc.

arrangement. Each unit has two ID Fans, two FD Fans, two PA Fans, 6 Coal mills (4- full

load + 2- stand by), 6 Coal Feeders (4- full load + 2- stand by), 4 oil guns etc.

The height of boiler is 56m.

Figure 3. Arrangement of main Boiler

Boiler Drum: The Function of steam drum is to separate the water from the steam

generated in the furnace wall and to reduce the dissolved solid contents of he steam to

below the prescribed limit of 1 ppm. The drum is located on the upper front of boiler.

Page 11: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 11

Economiser: the purpose of economiser is to preheat the boiler feed water before it is

introduced into the steam drum by recovering heat from the flue gases leaving the boiler.

The economiser is located in the boiler rear gas pass below the rear horizontal

superheater. The economiser is continuous unfinned loop type and water flows in upward

direction and gas in the downward direction.

Super Heater: There are three stages of superheater besides the side walls and extended

sidewalls. The first stage consists of horizontal superheater of convection mixed flow

type with upper and lower banks located above economiser assembly in the rear pass.

The upper bank terminates into hanger tubes, which are connected to outlet header of the

first stage superheater. The second stage superheater consists of pendant platen which is

of radiant parallel flow type. The third stage superheater pendant spaced is of convection

parallel flow type.

The outlet temperature and pressure of the steam coming out from superheater is 540° C

and 157 Kg/Cm2 respectively for H.P. units.

Reheater : The function of reheater is to reheat the steam coming out from high pressure

turbine to a temperature of 540° C. The reheater is composed of two sections. The front

pendant section and rear pendant section.

Burners: there are total 24 pulverised coal burners for corner fired C.E. type boilers and

12 oil burners provided each in between two pulverized fuel burner.

Page 12: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 12

The pulverized coal burners are arranged in such a way that six mills supply the coal the

burners at 4 corners, of the furnace. All the nozzles of the burners are inter linked and can

be tilted as a single unit from 30° to -30°.

The oil burners are fed with heavy fuel oil till boiler load reaches to about 25%.

Igniters: There are 12 side eddy plate oil/H.E.A. igniters per boiler. The atomizing air for

ignitor is taken from plant air compressors at 7 Kg/cm2.

Boiler has 4 corners. The powdered coal is blowed from the four corners into the

chamber.

Water circulation system

Water must flow through the heat absorption surface of the boiler in order that it be

evaporated into steam. In drum type units ( natural and controlled circulation) the water is

circulated from the drum through the generating circuits and back to the drum where

steam is separated and directed to the superheater. The water leaves the drum through the

downcomers at a temperature slightly below saturation temperature. The flow through the

furnace wall is at saturation temperature. Heat absorbed in water wall is latent heat of

vaporization creating a mixture of steam and water. The ratio of the weight of water to

the weight of steam in the mixture leaving the heat absorption surfaces is called

Circulation Ratio.

Page 13: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 13

Various auxiliary equipments are shown in the figure 4.

Figure 4. Arrangement of boiler auxiliaries.

Mills: Pulverised fuel firing is a method whereby the crushed coal, generally reduces to a

fineness such that 70-80% passes through a 200 mesh sieve, is carried forward by air through

pipes directly to burners or storage bins from where it is passed to burners. When discharged into

combustion chamber, the mixture of air and coal ignites and burns in suspension.

Burner arrangement: There are twenty four pulverized coal burners arranged on the corners at

a height of 18 to 25 meters and twelve oil burners provided each in between two pulverized fuel

burners. The pulverized coal burners are arranged in such a way that six mills supply the coal to

burners at 4 corners, of the furnace, all the nozzle of the burners are inter linked and can be tilted

as a single unit from +30 deg. to -30 deg.

Page 14: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 14

The oil burners are fed with heavy fuel oil till boiler load reaches to about 25%. There are four

wind boxes fixed at 4 corners of the furnace. There are 13 nozzle in each wind box 6 for coal and

7 for air.

Turbines

The 210 MW turbine installed in our power stations is predominantly of condensing tandom

compound, three cylinder, horizontal, disc and disphragm, reheat type with nozzle governingand

regenerative system of feed water heating and is coupled directly with A.C. Generator.

Figure5: Turbine and its auxiliaries

The superheated steam from boiler is led towards H.P.T (High Pressure Turbine) which is rotates

it and cools down. This steam is reheated and passed to I.P.T (Intermediate Pressure Turbine)

Page 15: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 15

from where the left out steam goes to L.P.T (Low Pressure Turbine). The steam left from LPT

goes to condenser from where it is sent to LP Heater and then to Deaerator from where it is

again sent to Boiler.

FUELS: The Fuels required in the power plant are Coal and Oil. Oil used is of two types : LDO

(Light Diesel Oil) and HFO (High Fuel Oil). Normally, HFO is fired first in the furnace due to its

High viscosity it is not suitable in winters. So LDO is fired first in winters however LDO is

costlier than HFO.

USES OF COAL ASH:

DADRI ash has been successfully used in the following applications:

LAND FILLS

ROAD EMBANKMENTS

ROAD CONSTRUCTION

PORTLAND POZZOLONA CEMENT

BUILDING PRODUCTS

CONCRETE

Use of Dadri ash in above applications have resulted in saving in terms of m o n ey ,

co ns e r va t io n o f n a tu r a l r e so u r ce s v i z m ot he r e a r t h , l i me s to n e , coal, sand,

energy, land and water apart from reduction in CO2 emission and thus environment.

Before TDBFP, Booster pump are used to increase suction pressure.

In stage I, reheated steam has temp. 540 deg C while in stage II it is 568 deg C.

In stage II circulation is done by CCP (Controlled Circulation Pump).

MEASUREMENT of PARAMETERS:

1) Temperature: Temperature can be measured by a

diverse array of sensors. All of them infer temperature by

sensing some change in a physical characteristic. The most

popular types are: thermocouples, resistive temperature detectors (RTD's)

Thermocouples

Thermocouples consist of two electrical conductors made of different metals that are joined at

one end. Changes in temperature at the measurement junction induce a change in electromotive

force (emf) between the other ends. Refer to the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-

90) for standardized tables of temperature vs thermocouple emf valves. ISA and ASTM have

designated letters for particular types of thermocouples. There are two groups, the base metal

Page 19: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 19

thermocouples J, K, T, E and N and the precious metal thermocouples R, S and B. Each type has

a characteristic emf vs temperature curve and application range. The EMF curve is very

dependant on the composition of each conductor. Type J and K are the most widley used in

industrial applications. Type J (iron vs copper-nickel(Constantan)) is versatile in that it can be

used in both oxidizing and reducing atmospheres up to 1,400°F. Iron rusts at low temperatures

where condensation can form. Type K (nickel-chromium(Chromel) vs nickelaluminum(

Alumel)) can be used up to 2,300°F in an oxidizing or inert atmosphere.

Type K thermocouples exhibit a number of instabilities and inaccuracies, particularly at higher

temperatures, changing their emf/temperature characteristics. In reducing atmospheres (lack of

oxygen) at temperatures of 1,500 to 1,750°F the positive thermoelement forms a greenish

chromic oxide, commonly known as "green rot". This causes a decrease in the electromotive

force of the thermocouple. Type K is also subject to aging when exposed to 800 to 1,200°F for a

few hours. Temperature cycling above 1,400°F and then below 700°F causes a random error due

to changes in the composition (inter-granular structure) of the conductors.

Resistive Temperature Detectors (RTD's)

RTD's contain a sensing element whose resistance changes with temperature. The sensors are

usually packaged so they can be placed into a position in the process where it can reach the same

temperature. Platinum wire or film RTD's are the most common type in use today. Platinum

RTD's are used to measure temperatures from -450 °F to 1200 °F.

Page 20: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 20

The signal transmission system can have a negative effect on the accuracy and reliability of the

temperature signal. This is true for thermocouples and RTD’s. Thermocouple signals must be

transmitted via thermocouple extension wire made from the same material as the thermocouple

elements. Use of wire materials other than the thermocouple materials will result in errors where

the ambient temperature changes. Voltage drops could also develop which would cause

additional errors.

RTD extension wire can cause an error because the resistance of the wire is added to the sensor

resistance. 3 and 4 wire RTD’s have compensating leads that can be used to eliminate the wire

resistance.

2) Pressure :

Pressure Sensors:

Figure 6: Different pressure sensors

Page 21: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 21

3) Flow : Some typical head meters are described briefly in the following:

a) Orifice: An orifice plate is a restriction with an opening smaller than the pipe

diameter which is inserted in the pipe; the typical orifice plate has a concentric, sharp

edged opening, as shown in Figure 1. Because of the smaller area the fluid velocity

increases, causing a corresponding decrease in pressure. The flow rate can be

calculated from the measured pressure drop across the orifice plate, P1-P3. The

orifice plate is the most commonly used flow sensor, but it creates a rather large non-

recoverable pressure due to the turbulence around the plate, leading to high energy

consumption (Foust, 1981).

b) Venturi Tube: The venturi tube shown in Figure 2 is similar to an orifice meter, but

it is designed to nearly eliminate boundary layer separation, and thus form drag. The

change in cross-sectional area in the venturi tube causes a pressure change between

the convergent section and the throat, and the flow rate can be determined from this

pressure drop. Although more expensive that an orifice plate; the venturi tube

introduces substantially lower non-recoverable pressure drops (Foust, 1981).

Figure 7. Venturi flow meter

Page 22: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 22

c) Flow Nozzle: A flow nozzle consists of a restriction with an elliptical contour

approach section that terminates in a cylindrical throat section. Pressure drop between

the locations one pipe diameter upstream and one-half pipe diameter downstream is

measured. Flow nozzles provide an intermediate pressure drop between orifice plates

and venturi tubes; also, they are applicable to some slurry systems.

d) Elbow meter: A differential pressure exists when a flowing fluid changes direction

due to a pipe turn or elbow, as shown in Figure 3 below. The pressure difference

results from the centrifugal force. Since pipe elbows exist in plants, the cost for these

meters is very low. However, the accuracy is very poor; there are only applied when

reproducibility is sufficient and other flow measurements would be very costly.

Figure 8. Elbow flow meter.

CONTROL VALVES

A valve is a device that regulates the flow of substances (either gases, fluidized solids, slurries or

liquids) by opening, closing , or partially obstructing various passageways.

Page 23: Ntpc Report

Industrial Training Report on NTPC, Dadri Page 23

There are three types of valves that are used in power industries besides the handle valves. They

are:

Pneumatic Valves – they are air or gas controlled which is compressed to turn or move

them.

Hydraulic valves – they utilize oil in place of Air as oil has better compression.

Motorized valves– these valves are controlled by electric motor.

CONCLUSION

As I have been undergoing training, I was able to know the practical application of theory what I

used to study from books. With trainings help understood that studies helps us to know things

but practical helps to apply theories for betterment of Human kind. I would like to give special

thanks to the NTPC DADRI staff for their cordial support for making the training a success.
