    INTRODUCTION

    National Thermal Power Corporation L.T.D.(N.T.P.C.) is the company,

    which is working at Badarpur Thermal Power Station, which is situated in

    New Delhi in India.

    N.T.P.C. is the largest thermal power generation company of India. It was

    incorporated in the year 1975 with the objective of planning, promoting

    and organising an integrated development of thermal power in the

    country.

    N.T.P.C. is the public limited company wholly owned by the government

    of India. It has power generating capacity in all the four major regions of

    the country.

    ESP is meant for air pollution control. The working of ESP is based on

    CORONA DISCHARGE. An electrostatic

    precipitator (ESP) or electrostatic air cleaner is a particulate collection

    device that removes particles from a flowing gas (such as air) using the

    force of an induced electrostatic charge. Electrostatic precipitators are

    highly efficient filtration devices that minimally impede the flow of gases

    through the device, and can easily remove fine particulate matter such as

    dust and smoke from the air stream. In contrast to wet scrubbers which

    apply energy directly to the flowing fluid medium, an ESP applies energy

    only to the particulate matter being collected and therefore is very

    efficient in its consumption of energy (in the form of electricity).

    SWITCHGEARS -

    Switchgear is a switching/ interrupting device used in connection with

    generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric power for

    controlling, metering protecting and regulating devices. It is a

    combination of electrical disconnects fuses and/or circuit breakers used to

    isolate electrical equipment. Switchgear is used both to de-energizeequipment to allow work to be done and to clear faults downstream.

    These are located in substations on both the high and low voltage sides of

    the large power transformers. One of the basic functions of switchgear is

    protection, which is interruption of short-circuit and overload fault

    currents while maintaining service to unaffected circuits. Switchgear also

    provides isolation of circuits from power supplies. Switchgear also is used

    to enhance system availability by allowing more than one source to feeda load.

    The various types of switchgears are -

  • 8/6/2019 Report Ntpc p

    8/29

    1.Isolator Switch - It is a part of an electrical circuit whichelectrically isolates the circuit that is continually powered. It breaks

    the electrical circuit when the circuit is to be switched in no load.

    These are normally used in various circuits for the purpose of

    isolating a certain portion when required for maintenance etc.. The

    most common isolator is the rotating centre post type in which each

    phase has three insulator posts, with the outer post carrying fixed

    contacts and connections while the centre post having the contact

    arm which is arranged to move through 90 degrees on its axis.

    However in some cases two post design is used wherein earth fault

    carries a half length contact arm linked together with the ability to

    rotate through 90 degrees in opposite directions. The design was

    introduced so as to economise on insulation but has been found to

    occupy a greater area than the three post type and necessitates

    making the break structure extremely rigid to avoid deflection of

    insulation under load. The modern trend is again to return back to

    the three post type. It has been possible to reduce the isolator size

    by limiting the moving contact blade to move a fully open position of

    70 degrees to the axis of 3 phases of isolator instead of 90 degrees

    but last 20 degrees of movement is used to rotate the moving

    contact in its own axis, while the full diameter of the contact is

    presented to the fixed contact fingers so that necessary contact

    pressure is achieved. The concept of using that last 20 degrees of

    movement of the rotating centre post to turn the moving contacts

    through this angle about their own axis enables very high contact

    pressure to be achieved without the need for a very powerful

    operating mechanism.

    2. Load Break Switch - An electric switch in a circuit with severalhundred thousand volts, designed to carry a large amount of current

    without overheating the open position, having enough insulation to

    isolate the circuit in closed position, and equipped with arc interrupters to

    interrupt the load current.

    3. Earth Switches Devices which are used normally to earth a

    particular system, to avoid any accidents which may happen due toinduction on account of live adjoining circuit. These equipments do not

    handle any appreciable current at all. Apart from this equipment, there

    are a no. of relays etc. which are used in the switchgear.

    Circuit Breakers - A circuit breaker is an automatically-operatedelectrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage

    caused by overload or short circuit. Unlike a fuse, which operates once

    and then has to be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either

    manually or automatically) to resume normal operation. Circuit breakersare made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect an individual

    household appliance up to large switchgear designed to protect high

    voltage circuits feeding an entire city. The circuit breaker must detect a

    fault condition like overload current etc.

    Once a fault is detected, contacts within the circuit breaker must open to

    interrupt the circuit; some mechanically stored energy within the breaker

    is used to separate the contacts, although some of the energy required

    may be obtained from the fault current itself. The stored energy may be

    in the form of springs or compressed air.

    The circuit breaker contacts must carry the load current without

    excessive heating, and must also withstand the heat of the arc produced

    when interrupting the circuit. Contacts are made of copper or copper

    alloys, silver alloys, and other materials. Service life of the contacts is

    limited by the erosion due to interrupting the arc. When a current is

    interrupted, an arc is generated - this arc must be contained, cooled, andextinguished in a controlled way, so that the gap between the contacts

    can again withstand the voltage in the circuit. Different circuit breakers

    use vacuum, air, insulating gas, or oil as the medium in which the arc

    forms. Different techniques are used to extinguish the arc including:

    Lengthening of the arc

    Intensive cooling (in jet chambers)

    Division into partial arcs

    Zero point quenching

    Connecting capacitors in parallel with contacts in DC circuits

    Finally, once the fault condition has been cleared, the contacts must

    again be closed to restore power to the interrupted circuit. Depending on

    the method of extinguishing the arc, the high voltage circuit breakers canbe classified as:

    1. SF6 Circuit Breaker -The SF6 circuit breaker installed at BTPS isHPA by ABB as per standard IEC56. HPA is a medium-voltage circuit

    breaker using SF6 gas as the insulation and breaking medium. Its design

    is compact and space-saving. The breaker is also available in a version

    with synchronised making for maximum damping of transients for

    different applications. The HPA breaker works according to the puffer

    principle, implying that when breaking, the gas is compressed between a

    fixed plunger and a moving cylinder and then blown on to the arc

    between the fixed and moving arc contacts. When the breaker is closed,

    the current flows via the main contacts and the cylinder. When a tripping

    impulse is given, the cylinder moves downwards, whereupon the upper

    main contact opens and the current commutes over to the arc contact. At

    the same time, the gas in the cylinder is compressed. When the nozzle

    has left the arc contact, the compressed gas is blown along the arc and

    cools it. The breaking process is completed as the current passes through

    zero.

    SF6 (sulphur hexafluoride) gas possesses a unique combination of

    properties that makes it extremely suitable for use in circuit breakers.

    SF6 gas has insulation strength some three times higher than that of air

    at an overpressure of 2 bar, which is even higher than that of transformer

    oil.

    12/29

    In minimum oil circuit breakers the arc extinction takes place in

    insulating housing enclosed in ceramic enclosures. The medium used is

    dielectric oil and the breaking capacity is 3.6 - 145 KV.

    In the bulk oil breakers, the oil serves as both arcs extinguishing medium

    and main insulation. The minimum oil breakers were developed to

    reduce the oil volume only to amount needed for extinguishing of the arc about 10% of the bulk- oil amount. The interrupter containers of the

    minimum oil breakers are made of insulating material and are insulated

    from the ground. This is usually referred to as live tank construction. For

    high voltages (above 132 kV), the interrupters are arranged in series.

    Relays -

    A relay is an electrical switch that opens and closes under the control of

    another electrical circuit. In the original form, the switch is operated by an

    electromagnet to open or close one or many sets of contacts. When a

    current flows through the coil, the resulting magnetic field attracts anarmature that is mechanically linked to a moving contact. The movement

    either makes or breaks a connection with a fixed contact. When the

    current to the coil is switched off, the armature is returned by a force

    approximately half as strong as the magnetic force to its relaxed position.

    Usually this is a spring, but gravity is also used commonly in industrial

    motor starters. Most relays are manufactured to operate quickly. In a low

    voltage application, this is to reduce noise. In a high voltage or high

    current application, this is to reduce arcing.

  • 8/6/2019 Report Ntpc p

    15/29

    Since relays are switches, the terminology applied to switches is also

    applied to relays. A relay will switch one or more poles, each of whose

    contacts can be thrown by energizing the coil in one of three ways:

    Normally-open (NO) contacts connect the circuit when therelay is activated; the circuit is disconnected when the relay is

    inactive. It is also called a Form A contact or "make" contact.

    Normally-closed (NC) contacts disconnect the circuit when therelay is activated; the circuit is connected when the relay is inactive.

    It is also called a Form B contact or "break" contact.

    Change-over, or double-throw, contacts control two circuits:one normally-open contact and one normally-closed contact with a

    common terminal. It is also called a Form C contact or "transfer"

    contact. If this type of contact utilizesmake before break"

    functionality, then it is called a Form D contact. The relay was used

    as:

    Master Trip Relay (MTR)

    Flag Relay

    Closed Position Relay (CPR)

    Trip Position Relay (TPR)

    Unit Trip Relay (UTR)

    Unit Signal Relay (USR)

    MOTORS

  • 8/6/2019 Report Ntpc p

    16/29

    The AC induction motor is a rotating electric machine designed to

    operate from a three-phase source of alternating voltage. The stator

    is a classic three phase stator with the winding displaced by 120.

    The most common type of induction motor has a squirrel cage rotor.

    3 Phase Squirrel Cage Induction Motor - A squirrel cage rotoris the rotating part often used in an AC induction motor. An electric

    motor with a squirrel cage rotor is sometimes called a squirrel cage

    motor. In overall shape it is a cylinder mounted on a shaft. Internally it

    contains longitudinal conductive bars of aluminium or copper set into

    grooves and connected together at both ends by shorting rings forming

    a cage-like shape.

    Slots/pole = 20/4 = 5

    Coil pitch = 1 to 11

    1 phase has 4 poles.

    Motor Starting

    The methods employed in starting a motor are extremely varied, being

    dependent on the system, type, starting repetition and environment etc.

    Probably the simplest and the most common method is to connect the

    supply directly to the motor allow it to accelerate normally to its running

    speed. This method is referred to as Direct On Line (DOL) starting.

    DOL Starting

    The choice of this method depends on number of conditions. If for

    example, the load has high inertia, then DOL will not be ideal because the

    prolonged starting current could be six times the normal running current.

    This in turn (assuming the switch used can carry this large current) would

    put an excessive drain on the supply system. In fact, for large horse

    power motors the supply authorities do not allow DOL starting.

    DOL starting is however used extensively in modern power stations one

    reason being that it is less expensive than others. Excessive current

    surge is more tolerable in power stations than on consumer premises.

    DOL Starters

  • 8/6/2019 Report Ntpc p

    18/29

    The simplest electric motor drive consists of a squirrel cage motor

    switched direct on line and an associated automatic motor starter

    consists of basically a contactor to connect the motor to supply and an

    overload relay to prevent over heating of the motor.

    Star Delta Starter

    This method involves starting motor from rest, with the stator windings

    connected in star configuration. In this condition, the effective voltage

    across each winding is 1/3 of the line voltage or 59%. The current and

    torque are reduced to 33% of the values obtained if the motor was

    started as DOL. After a period of acceleration, the supply is removed from

    the motor and by suitable switching process the windings are connected

    in the delta configuration. Before the motor has chance to decelerate, the

    supply is re-established with full voltage across each winding. Some

    deceleration does takes place in practice and mechanical shock is

    introduced to the drive on reconnection at full voltage. This would not be

    practical on large units but can be accepted on many small and medium

    drives.

    TRANSFORMER

  • 8/6/2019 Report Ntpc p

    19/29

    A transformer is a constant frequency static device comprising

    coils coupled through a magnetic medium connecting two ports at

    different voltage levels (in general) in an electrical system allowing

    the interchange of electric energy between the two ports in either

    direction via magnetic field.

    A transformer in its simplest form consists of two insulated windings

    interlinked by a common or mutual magnetic field established in a core.

    When one of the windings is termed as primary, it is connected to a

    alternating voltage source, an alternating flux is produced in the core

    depending upon the primary voltage, number of turns and frequency. The

    mutual flux links the other winding called the secondary. A voltage is

    induced in the secondary of the same frequency as primary but its

    magnitude depends on the number of turns of secondary.

    Types of Transformers -

    Step up

    Isolation

    Step down

    Major transformers in the power station

    Generator transformer

    The generator is connected to this transformer by means of

    isolated bus-ducts . this transformer is used to step-up the

    generating voltage of about 15 KV to the grid voltage .It is

  • 8/6/2019 Report Ntpc p

    20/29

    generally provided with OFB cooling and is oil immersed .Off circuit

    taps on the high voltage side are also present. The transformer has

    elaborate cooling system consisting of a number of oil pumps and

    cooling fans apart from various accessories discussed later.

    Unit Auxiliary transformer

    UAT draws its input from the Main bus duct connecting the

    generating transformer. Total KVA capacity UAT required can be

    determined by using 0.85 p.f. and 0.9 efficiency for the total

    auxiliary motor load.

    It is usually safe and desired to provide 20% excess capacity then

    calculated to provide for miscellaneous auxiliaries and possible

    increase in the auxiliary load.

    For large units it has become necessary to use more than one UAT.

    Such arrangement normally provide separate bus section fed by

    separate auxiliary transformer, with bus section breaker while

    selecting one thing is to be taken care of is that the percent

    impedence of the transformer for the proposed unit should satisfy

    the following conditions.

    Maximum short circuit current on the auxiliary bus should be

    limited within the maximum switchgear rating available.

    Maximum permissible voltage dip while starting the largest single

    auxiliary motor usually boiler feed pump should remain within

    acceptable limit.

    Maximum voltage drop permitted on starting largest motor isabout 15-20% . if the voltage drop is higher than the permissible

    limits, then transformer impedence has to be reduced ,the

    consequent increase in the short circuit current duty may require

    the use of higher rated switchgear. Thus to create balance for

    larger units, it becomes imperative to use more than one UAT.

    Station Transformer

  • 8/6/2019 Report Ntpc p

    21/29

    It is needed to feed the auxiliaries during the start-ups. These are

    usually rated for the initial auxiliary load requirements of the unit.

    Typically this load is of the order of 60% of the load of the full

    generating capacity. But in the large stations where more than one

    units are operating, the station transformer should have sufficient

    capacity to start two units at the same time. It is also provided with

    on load tap changer to cater to fluctuating voltage of the grid.

    Construction

    Transformer consists of the following parts-

    Core and winding

    Conservator

    Breather

    Buchholzbox

    Marshalling box

    Cooling system

    Core and winding

    Two types of arrangements are provided

    Core type

    Shell type

    In the core type, the winding is wound around the two legs of the

    rectangular magnetic core, while in the shell type the winding are

    wound on the central leg of a three legged core.

    Conservator

    It is the small tank placed on the top of the main tank. It maintainsthe level of oil in the transformer. If the oil level falls more air

    comes in conservator through the breather which is nothing but

  • 8/6/2019 Report Ntpc p

    22/29

    silica gel. And if the level of the oil rises the air pumped out to

    maintain the pressure. The level of the oil can be monitored by an

    indicator on the surface of the conservator. This arrangement also

    ensures that surface area of the transformer oil exposed to the

    atmosphere is limited so as to prevent fast oxidation and

    consequent deterioration of insulating properties of the oil.

    Breather

    A breather is provided to prevent the contamination of the

    transformer oil in the conservator by the moisture present in the

    air entering the conservator. Outside air is drawn into the

    conservator through the breather every time the transformer cools

    down. The breather is filled with material like anhydrous calcium

    chloride or silica gel, which has the property of absorbing all water

    vapour contained in the air passing through it there by making the

    air quite dry. After sometime the calcium chloride or the silica gel

    gets saturated with moisture completely and can no longer absorb

    moisture. It is thereby very important to replace when it turns pink

    in colour. The old silica gel can be reconditioned and used again by

    heating up to 150-200 C.

    Marshalling box

    It is a sort of local control box which houses control for cooling fans

    and pumps. There is an oil temperature indicator and winding

    temperature as well.

    PRV / Explosion vent

    Explosion vent: In case of a severe fault in the transformer, the

    internal pressure may build up to a very high level. This may result

    in an explosion of the tank. To avoid such contingency a relief vent

    is provided with a Bakelite diaphragm at the top, which breaks and

    relieves the pressure in case of excessive pressure building up.

    Pressure relief valve: It also releases excess pressure by opening apressure valve and then closes automatically.

  • 8/6/2019 Report Ntpc p

    23/29

    Cooling Systems:

    It consists of the following:

    Radiator

    Fans

    Pumps

    The assembly circulates oil in the transformer, which provides insulation

    as well as cooling along with the air.

    Application Important tasks performed by the transformer are:-

    1. Changing current and voltage levels in electrical power systems.

    2. Matching source load impedance for maximum transfer in controland electronic circuitry.

    3. Electrical isolation

    Transformers are used extensively on ac power systems. They make

    possible power generation at most desirable and economical transmission

    level (10-20 KV). Power transmission voltage (220-1000 KV) and power

    utilization at most convenient distribution voltage (230-415 V).

    The input to main transformer is through ducts at generated level of

    voltage. Output is at 220 KV and connected to infinite Bus Bar through

    brushes (insulators).

    SWITCHYARD

  • 8/6/2019 Report Ntpc p

    24/29

    It consists of:

    Two buses (operation) at 220 kV level and one by-pass back up also at

    220 kV.

    Air blast circuit breakers

    Isolators

    Current transformers

    Potential transformers

    Feeders

    Bus coupler

    Bus -

    Odd numbered bus is connected to generating unit by convention. This is

    also considered keeping in mind the fact that every bus has a separate

    set of protection unit for reliability.

    Thus, bus no. 1 is connected to unit no. 1 and bus no. 2 is connected to

    unit no. 2.

    Distribution is done through the feeders. The buses operate at 220 kV

    voltage levels. The output of the main transformer is coupled and joined

    to the bus 1 and 2.

    By pass bus

    This bus is a back up bus which comes handy when any of the buses

    become faulty, when any operating bus has a fault. The bypass bus is

    brought into the circuit and then the faulty line is removed, thereby,

    restoring the healthy power line.

    The ABCB has air at pressure of about 32kg/cm2. It isolates the circuit

    when the current in the circuit exceeds certain limit. It operates in

    milliseconds and works on no load

    Isolator

    It operates off load and is mechanical in nature. If any part of the circuit is

    to be isolated to work on it during the off load condition, only the circuit is

    isolated using isolator. The essential difference between a circuit breaker

    and isolator is the presence of quenching such as air or oil in the circuit

    breaker. An isolator cannot be used in on load condition because an arc is

    formed which may touch the earth thus converting it into a line fault.

    Current and Potential TransformerThese are primarily used to measure high current and voltage (of order of

    KA and KV).

    CVT-Capacitor Voltage Transformer

    These are also used for measuring voltage but have higher accuracy than

    PTs.

    A capacitor voltage transformer (CVT) is a transformer used in power

    systems to step-down extra high voltage signals and provide low

    voltage signals either for measurement or to operate a protective relay.

    In its most basic form the device consists of three parts:

    two capacitors across which the voltage signal is split, an inductive

    element used to tune the device to the supply frequency and

    a transformer used to isolate and further step-down the voltage for theinstrumentation or protective relay.

    The device has at least four terminals, a high-voltage terminal for

    connection to the high voltage signal, a ground terminal and at least one

    set of secondary terminals for connection to the instrumentation or

    protective relay. CVTs are typically single-phase devices used for

    measuring voltages in excess of one hundred kilovolts where the use of

    voltage transformers would be uneconomical. In practice the first

    capacitor, C1, is often replaced by a stack of capacitors connected in

    series. This results in a large voltage drop across the stack of capacitors

    that replaced the first capacitor and a comparatively small voltage drop

    across the second capacitor C2, and hence the secondary terminals.

    Bus Coupler -

    Buses are coupled using the bus coupler. The main function of the bus

    coupler is separate the supply from two sources. It helps to shut fault

    supply.

    GENERATOR

    The two main parts of a generator or motor can be described in either

    mechanical or electrical terms

    Mechanical:

    Rotor: The rotating part of an alternator, generator, dynamo or motor.

    Stator: The stationary part of an alternator, generator, dynamo or motor.

    Electrical:

    Armature:The power-producing component of an alternator,

    generator, dynamo or motor. In a generator, alternator, or dynamo the

    armature windings generate the electrical current. The armature can

    be on either the rotor or the stator.

    Field:The magnetic field component of an alternator, generator,

    dynamo or motor. The magnetic field of the dynamo or alternator can

    be provided by either electromagnets or permanent magnets mounted

    on either the rotor or the stator.

    Because power transferred into the field circuit is much less than in the

    armature circuit, AC generators nearly always have the field winding on

    the rotor and the stator as the armature winding. Only a small amount of

    field current must be transferred to the moving rotor, using slip rings.

    Direct current machines necessarily have the commutator on the rotating

    shaft, so the armature winding is on the rotor of the machine.

    Excitation-

    An electric generator or electric motor that uses field coils rather

    than permanent magnets will require a current flow to be present inthe field coils for the device to be able to work. If the field coils are not

    powered, the rotor in a generator can spin without producing any

    usable electrical energy, while the rotor of a motor may not spin at all.

    Very large power station generators often utilize a separate smaller

    generator to excite the field coils of the larger.

    In the event of a severe widespread power

    outage where islanding of power stations has occurred, the stations

    may need to perform a black start to excite the fields of their largest

    generators, in order to restore customer power service.
