OPERATIONELECTRICITY FROM COAL
Coal from the coal wagons is unloaded with the help of wagon tipplers in the
C.H.P. this coal is taken to the raw coal bunkers with the help of conveyor belts.
Coal is then transported to bowl mills by coal feeders where it is pulverized and
ground in the powered form.
This crushed coal is taken away to the furnace through coal pipes with the help of
hot and cold mixture P.A fan. This fan takes atmospheric air, a part of which is
sent to pre heaters while a part goes to the mill for temperature control.
Atmospheric air from F.D fan in the air heaters and sent to the furnace as
combustion air.
Water from boiler feed pump passes through economizer and reaches the boiler
drum . Water from the drum passes through the down comers and goes to the
bottom ring header. Water from the bottom ring header is divided to all the four
sides of the furnace. Due to heat density difference the water rises up in the
water wall tubes. This steam and water mixture is again taken to the boiler drum
where the steam is sent to super heaters for super heating. The super heaters are
located inside the furnace and the steam is super heated (540 degree Celsius)
and finally it goes to the turbine.
Fuel gases from the furnace are extracted from the induced draft fan, which
maintains balance draft in the furnace with F.D fan. These fuel gases heat energy
to the various super heaters and finally through air pre heaters and goes to
electrostatic precipitators where the ash particles are extracted. This ash is mixed
with the water to from slurry is pumped to ash period.

The steam from boiler is conveyed to turbine through the steam pipes and
through stop valve and control valve that automatically regulate the supply of
steam to the turbine. Stop valves and controls valves are located in steam chest
and governor driven from main turbine shaft operates the control valves the
amount used.
Steam from controlled valves enter high pressure cylinder of turbines, where it
passes through the ring of blades fixed to the cylinder wall. These act as nozzles
and direct the steam into a second ring of moving blades mounted on the disc
secured in the turbine shaft. The second ring turns the shaft as a result of force of
steam to the stationary and moving blades together.

THERMAL POWER PLANT
A Thermal Power Station comprises all of the equipment and a subsystem
required to produce electricity by using a steam generating boiler fired with fossilfuels or befouls to drive an electrical generator. Some prefer to use the term
ENERGY CENTER because such facilities convert forms of energy, like nuclear
energy, gravitational potential energy or heat energy (derived from the
combustion of fuel) into electrical energy. However, POWER PLANT is the most
common term in the united state; While POWER STATION prevails in many
Commonwealth countries and especially in the United Kingdom.Such power
stations are most usually constructed on a very large scale and designed for
continuous operation.

The description of some of the components written above is described as follows:
1.Cooling towers
Cooling Towers are evaporative coolers used for cooling water or other working
medium to near the ambivalent web-bulb air temperature. Cooling tower use
evaporation of water to reject heat from processes such as cooling the circulating
water used in oil refineries, Chemical plants, power plants and building cooling,
for example. The tower vary in size from small roof-top units to very large
hyperboloid structures that can be up to 200 meters tall and 100 meters in
diameter, or rectangular structure that can be over 40 meters tall and 80 meters
long. Smaller towers are normally factory built, while larger ones are constructed
on site.
The primary use of large , industrial cooling tower system is to remove the heat
absorbed in the circulating cooling water systems used in power plants ,
petroleum refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing
plants and other industrial facilities . The absorbed heat is rejected to the
atmosphere by the evaporation of some of the cooling water in mechanical
forced-draft or induced draft towers or in natural draft hyperbolic shaped cooling
towers as seen at most nuclear power plants.
2.Three phase transmission line
Three phase electric power is a common method of electric power
transmission. It is a type of polyphase system mainly used to power motors and
many other devices. A Three phase system uses less conductor material to
-
7/28/2019 Yogesh Report
15/60
transmit electric power than equivalent single phase, two phase, or direct current
system at the same voltage. In a three phase system, three circuits reach their
instantaneous peak values at different times. Taking one conductor as the
reference, the other two current are delayed in time by one-third and two-third of
one cycle of the electrical current. This delay between phases has the effect of
giving constant power transfer over each cycle of the current and also makes it
possible to produce a rotating magnetic field in an electric motor.
At the power station, an electric generator converts mechanical power into a set
of electric currents, one from each electromagnetic coil or winding of the
generator. The current are sinusoidal functions of time, all at the same frequency
but offset in time to give different phases. In a three phase system the phases are
spaced equally, giving a phase separation of one-third one cycle. Generators
output at a voltage that ranges from hundreds of volts to 30,000 volts. At the
power station, transformers: step-up this voltage to one more suitable for
transmission.
After numerous further conversions in the transmission and distribution network
the power is finally transformed to the standard mains voltage (i.e. the
household voltage).
The power may already have been split into single phase at this point or it maystill be three phase. Where the step-down is 3 phase, the output of this
transformer is usually star connected with the standard mains voltage being the
phase-neutral voltage. Another system commonly seen in North America is to
have a delta connected secondary with a center tap on one of the windings
supplying the ground and neutral. This allows for 240 V three phase as well as
three different single phase voltages( 120 V between two of the phases and
neutral , 208 V between the third phase ( known as a wild leg) and neutral and
240 V between any two phase) to be available from the same supply.
3.Electrical generator
An Electrical generator is a device that converts kinetic energy to electrical
energy, generally using electromagnetic induction. The task of converting the
-
7/28/2019 Yogesh Report
16/60
electrical energy into mechanical energy is accomplished by using a motor. The
source of mechanical energy may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine, ,
water falling through the turbine are made in a variety of sizes ranging from small
1 hp (0.75 kW) units (rare) used as mechanical drives for pumps, compressors
and other shaft driven equipment , to 2,000,000 hp(1,500,000 kW) turbines used
to generate electricity. There are several classifications for modern steam
turbines.
Steam turbines are used in all of our major coal fired power stations to drive the
generators or alternators, which produce electricity. The turbines themselves are
driven by steam generated in Boilers or steam generators as they are
sometimes called.
Electrical power station use large stem turbines driving electric generators to
produce most (about 86%) of the worlds electricity. These centralized stations
are of two types: fossil fuel power plants and nuclear power plants. The turbines
used for electric power generation are most often directly coupled to their-
generators .As the generators must rotate at constant synchronous speeds
according to the frequency of the electric power system, the most common
speeds are 3000 r/min for 50 Hz systems, and 3600 r/min for 60 Hz systems. Most
large nuclear sets rotate at half those speeds, and have a 4-pole generator ratherthan the more common 2-pole one.
Energy in the steam after it leaves the boiler is converted into rotational energy
as it passes through the turbine. The turbine normally consists of several stage
with each stages consisting of a stationary blade (or nozzle) and a rotating blade.
Stationary blades convert the potential energy of the steam into kinetic energy
into forces, caused by pressure drop, which results in the rotation of the turbine
shaft. The turbine shaft is connected to a generator, which produces the electrical
energy.
4.Boiler feed water pump
-
7/28/2019 Yogesh Report
17/60
A Boiler feed water pump is a specific type of pump used to pump water into a
steam boiler. The water may be freshly supplied or retuning condensation of the
steam produced by the boiler. These pumps are normally high pressure units that
use suction from a condensate return system and can be of the centrifugal pump
type or positive displacement type.
Construction and operation
Feed water pumps range in size up to many horsepower and the electric motor is
usually separated from the pump body by some form of mechanical coupling.
Large industrial condensate pumps may also serve as the feed water pump. In
either case, to force the water into the boiler; the pump must generate sufficient
pressure to overcome the steam pressure developed by the boiler. This is usually
accomplished through the use of a centrifugal pump.
Feed water pumps usually run intermittently and are controlled by a float switch
or other similar level-sensing device energizing the pump when it detects a
lowered liquid level in the boiler is substantially increased. Some pumps contain a
two-stage switch. As liquid lowers to the trigger point of the first stage, the pump
is activated. I f the liquid continues to drop (perhaps because the pump has
failed, its supply has been cut off or exhausted, or its discharge is blocked); the
second stage will be triggered. This stage may switch off the boiler equipment
(preventing the boiler from running dry and overheating), trigger an alarm, or
both.
5. Steam-powered pumps
Steam locomotives and the steam engines used on ships and stationary
applications such as power plants also required feed water pumps. In this
situation, though, the pump was often powered using a small steam engine that
ran using the steam produced by the boiler. A means had to be provided, of
course, to put the initial charge of water into the boiler(before steam power was
available to operate the steam-powered feed water pump).the pump was often a
-
7/28/2019 Yogesh Report
18/60
positive displacement pump that had steam valves and cylinders at one end and
feed water cylinders at the other end; no crankshaft was required.
In thermal plants, the primary purpose of surface condenser is to condense the
exhaust steam from a steam turbine to obtain maximum efficiency and also to
convert the turbine exhaust steam into pure water so that it may be reused in the
steam generator or boiler as boiler feed water. By condensing the exhaust steam
of a turbine at a pressure below atmospheric pressure, the steam pressure drop
between the inlet and exhaust of the turbine is increased, which increases the
amount heat available for conversion to mechanical power. Most of the heat
liberated due to condensation of the exhaust steam is carried away by the cooling
medium (water or air) used by the surface condenser.
6. Control valves
Control valves are valves used within industrial plants and elsewhere to control
operating conditions such as temperature,pressure,flow,and liquid Level by fully
partially opening or closing in response to signals received from controllers that
compares a set point to a process variable whose value is provided by
sensors that monitor changes in such conditions. The opening or closing of control
valves is done by means of electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic systems
7. Deaerator
A Dearator is a device for air removal and used to remove dissolved gases (an
alternate would be the use of water treatment chemicals) from boiler feed water
to make it non-corrosive. A dearator typically includes a vertical domed
deaeration section as the deaeration boiler feed water tank. A Steam generating
boiler requires that the circulating steam, condensate, and feed water should be
devoid of dissolved gases, particularly corrosive ones and dissolved or suspended
solids. The gases will give rise to corrosion of the metal. The solids will deposit on
the heating surfaces giving rise to localized heating and tube ruptures due to
overheating. Under some conditions it may give to stress corrosion cracking.
-
7/28/2019 Yogesh Report
19/60
Deaerator level and pressure must be controlled by adjusting control valves- the
level by regulating condensate flow and the pressure by regulating steam flow. If
operated properly, most deaerator vendors will guarantee that oxygen in the
deaerated water will not exceed 7 ppb by weight (0.005 cm3/L)
8. Feed water heater
A Feed water heater is a power plant component used to pre-heat water delivered
to a steam generating boiler. Preheating the feed water reduces the irreversible
involved in steam generation and therefore improves the thermodynamic
efficiency of the system.[4] This reduces plant operating costs and also helps to
avoid thermal shock to the boiler metal when the feed water is introduces back
into the steam cycle.
In a steam power (usually modeled as a modified Ranking cycle), feed water
heaters allow the feed water to be brought up to the saturation temperature very
gradually. This minimizes the inevitable irreversibilitys associated with heat
transfer to the working fluid (water). A belt conveyor consists of two pulleys, with
a continuous loop of material- the conveyor Belt that rotates about them. The
pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward.
Conveyor belts are extensively used to transport industrial and agricultural
material, such as grain, coal, ores etc.
9. Pulverizer
A pulverizer is a device for grinding coal for combustion in a furnace in a fossil
fuel power plant.
10. Boiler Steam Drum
Steam Drums are a regular feature of water tube boilers. It is reservoir of
water/steam at the top end of the water tubes in the water-tube boiler. They store
the steam generated in the water tubes and act as a phase separator for the
steam/water mixture. The difference in densities between hot and cold water
helps in the accumulation of the hotter-water/and saturated steam into steam
-
7/28/2019 Yogesh Report
20/60
drum. Made from high-grade steel (probably stainless) and its working involves
temperatures 390C and pressure well above 350psi (2.4MPa). The separated
steam is drawn out from the top section of the drum. Saturated steam is drawn
off the top of the drum. The steam will re-enter the furnace in through a super
heater, while the saturated water at the bottom of steam drum flows down to the
mud-drum /feed water drum by down comer tubes accessories include a safety
valve, water level indicator and fuse plug. A steam drum is used in the company
of a mud-drum/feed water drum which is located at a lower level. So that it acts
as a sump for the sludge or sediments which have a tendency to the bottom.
11. Super HeaterA Super heater is a device in a steam engine that heats the steam generated by
the boiler again increasing its thermal energy and decreasing the likelihood that it
will condense inside the engine. Super heaters increase the efficiency of the
steam engine, and were widely adopted. Steam which has been superheated is
logically known as superheated steam; non-superheated steam is called
saturated steam or wet steam; Super heaters were applied to steam
locomotives in quantity from the early 20th century, to most steam vehicles, and
so stationary steam engines including power stations.
12. Economizers
Economizer, or in the UK economizer, are mechanical devices intended to
reduce energy consumption, or to perform another useful function like preheating
a fluid. The term economizer is used for other purposes as well. Boiler, power
plant, and heating, ventilating and air conditioning. In boilers, economizer are
heat exchange devices that heat fluids , usually water, up to but not normally
beyond the boiling point of the fluid. Economizers are so named because they can
make use of the enthalpy and improving the boilers efficiency. They are a device
fitted to a boiler which saves energy by using the exhaust gases from the boiler
to preheat the cold water used the fill it (the feed water). Modern day boilers,
-
7/28/2019 Yogesh Report
21/60
such as those in cold fired power stations, are still fitted with economizer which is
decedents of Greens original design. In this context they are turbines before it is
pumped to the boilers. A common application of economizer is steam power
plants is to capture the waste hit from boiler stack gases (flue gas) and transfer
thus it to the boiler feed water thus lowering the needed energy input , in turn
reducing the firing rates to accomplish the rated boiler output . Economizer lower
stack temperatures which may cause condensation of acidic combustion gases
and serious equipment corrosion damage if care is not taken in their design and
material selection.
13. Air Preheater
Air preheater is a general term to describe any device designed to heat air before
another process (for example, combustion in a boiler). The purpose of the air
preheater is to recover the heat from the boiler flue gas which increases the
thermal efficiency of the boiler by reducing the useful heat lost in the fuel gas. As
a consequence, the flue gases are also sent to the flue gas stack (or chimney) at
a lower temperature allowing simplified design of the ducting and the flue gas
stack. It also allows control over the temperature of gases leaving the stack.
14. Precipitator
An Electrostatic precipitator (ESP) or electrostatic air cleaner is a particulate
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, and can easily remove fine particulate matter such as dust and
smoke from the air steam.
ESPs continue to be excellent devices for control of many industrial particulate
emissions, including smoke from electricity-generating utilities (coal and oil fired),
salt cake collection from black liquor boilers in pump mills, and catalyst collection
from fluidized bed catalytic crackers from several hundred thousand ACFM in the
largest coal-fired boiler application.

The original parallel plate-Weighted wire design (described above) has evolved as
more efficient ( and robust) discharge electrode designs were developed, today
focusing on rigid discharge electrodes to which many sharpened spikes are
attached , maximizing corona production. Transformer rectifier systems apply
voltages of 50-100 Kilovolts at relatively high current densities. Modern controls
minimize sparking and prevent arcing, avoiding damage to the components.
Automatic rapping systems and hopper evacuation systems remove the collected
particulate matter while on line allowing ESPs to stay in operation for years at a
time.
15. Fuel gas stack
A Fuel gas stack is a type of chimney, a vertical pipe, channel or similar structure
through which combustion product gases called fuel gases are exhausted to the
outside air. Fuel gases are produced when coal, oil, natural gas, wood or any
other large combustion device. Fuel gas is usually composed of carbon dioxide
(CO2) and water vapor as well as nitrogen and excess oxygen remaining from the
intake combustion air. It also contains a small percentage of pollutants such as
particulates matter, carbon mono oxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. The
flue gas stacks are often quite tall, up to 400 meters (1300 feet) or more, so as to
disperse the exhaust pollutants over a greater aria and thereby reduce the
concentration of the pollutants to the levels required by governmental
environmental policies and regulations.
When the fuel gases exhausted from stoves, ovens, fireplaces or other small
sources within residential abodes, restaurants , hotels or other stacks are referred
to as chimneys.

INTRODUCTION & PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION:
As in a machine is simply an electric transformer whose magnetic circuit
is separated by an air gap into two relative movable portions, one
carrying the primary and other secondary winding; then the latter is
short circuited or closed through external impedance.
The electromagnetic forces corresponding to the power thus transferred
across the air gap by induction produce relative motion between the
primary and secondary structure.

1. COAL HANDLING PLANT (C.H.P)
2. NEW COAL HANDLING PLANT (N.C.H.P)
The old coal handling plant caters to the need of units 2,3,4,5 and 1
whereas the latter supplies coal to units 4 and V.O.C.H.P. supplies coal
to second and third stages in the advent coal to usable form to
(crushed) form its raw form and send it to bunkers, from where it is send
to furnace.
Major Components
1. Wagon Tippler: - Wagons from the coal yard come to the tippler
and are emptied here. The process is performed by a slip ring motor of
rating: 55 KW, 415V, 1480 RPM. This motor turns the wagon by 135
degrees and coal falls directly on the conveyor through vibrators.
Tippler has raised lower system which enables is to switch off motor
when required till is wagon back to its original position. It is titled by
weight balancing principle. The motor lowers the hanging balancing
weights, which in turn tilts the conveyor. Estimate of the weight of the
conveyor is made through hydraulic weighing machine.2. Conveyor: - There are 14 conveyors in the plant. They are
numbered so that their function can be easily demarcated. Conveyors
are made of rubber and more with a speed of 250-300m/min. Motors
employed for conveyors has a capacity of 150 HP. Conveyors have a
capacity of carrying coal at the rate of 400 tons per hour. Few

conveyors are double belt, this is done for imp. Conveyors so that if a
belt develops any problem the process is not stalled. The conveyor belt
has a switch after every 25-30 m on both sides so stop the belt in case
of emergency. The conveyors are 1m wide, 3 cm thick and made of
chemically treated vulcanized rubber. The max angular elevation of
conveyor is designed such as never to exceed half of the angle of
response and comes out to be around 20 degrees.
3. Zero Speed Switch:-It is safety device for motors, i.e., if belt is
not moving and the motor is on the motor may burn. So to protect this
switch checks the speed of the belt and switches off the motor when
speed is zero.
4. Metal Separators: - As the belt takes coal to the crusher, No
metal pieces should go along with coal. To achieve this objective, we
use metal separators. When coal is dropped to the crusher hoots, the
separator drops metal pieces ahead of coal. It has a magnet and a belt
and the belt is moving, the pieces are thrown away. The capacity of this
device is around 50 kg. .The CHP is supposed to transfer 600 tons of
coal/hr, but practically only 300-400 tons coal is transfer
5. Crusher: - Both the plants use TATA crushers powered by BHEL.
Motors. The crusher is of ring type and motor ratings are 400 HP, 606
KV. Crusher is designed to crush the pieces to 20 mm size i.e. practically
considered as the optimum size of transfer via conveyor.
6. Rotatory Breaker: - OCHP employs mesh type of filters and allows
particles of 20mm size to go directly to RC bunker, larger particles are
sent to crushes. This leads to frequent clogging. NCHP uses a technique
that crushes the larger of harder substance like metal impurities easing
the load on the magnetic separators.

MILLING SYSTEM
1. RC Bunker: - Raw coal is fed directly to these bunkers. These are 3
in no. per boiler. 4 & tons of coal are fed in 1 hr. the depth of bunkers
is 10m.
2. RC Feeder: - It transports pre crust coal from raw coal bunker to
mill. The quantity of raw coal fed in mill can be controlled by speed
control of aviator drive controlling damper and aviator change.
3. Ball Mill: - The ball mill crushes the raw coal to a certain height and
then allows it to fall down. Due to impact of ball on coal and attraction
as per the particles move over each other as well as over the Armor
lines, the coal gets crushed. Large particles are broken by impact and
full grinding is done by attraction. The Drying and grinding option takes
place simultaneously inside the mill.
4. Classifier:- It is an equipment which serves separation of fine
pulverized coal particles medium from coarse medium. The pulverized
coal along with the carrying medium strikes the impact plate through
the lower part. Large particles are then transferred to the ball mill.
5. Cyclone Separators: - It separates the pulverized coal from
carrying medium. The mixture of pulverized coal vapour caters the
cyclone separators.

SWITCH GEAR-It makes or breaks an electrical circuit.
1. Isolation: - A device which breaks an electrical circuit when
circuit is switched on to no load. Isolation is normally used in
various ways for purpose of isolating a certain portion when
required for maintenance.
2. Switching Isolation: - It is capable of doing things like interrupting
transformer magnetized current, interrupting line charging current and
even perform load transfer switching. The main application of switching
isolation is in connection with transformer feeders as unit makes it
possible to switch out one transformer while other is still on load.
3. Circuit Breakers: - One which can make or break the circuit on load
and even on faults is referred to as circuit breakers. This equipment is
the most important and is heavy duty equipment mainly utilized for
protection of various circuits and operations on load. Normally circuit
breakers installed are accompanied by isolators
4. Load Break Switches: - These are those interrupting devices which
can make or break circuits. These are normally on same circuit, which
are backed by circuit breakers.
5. Earth Switches: - Devices which are used normally to earth a
particular system, to avoid any accident happening due to induction on
account of live adjoining circuits. These equipments do not handle any
appreciable current at all. Apart from this equipment there are a
number of relays etc. which are used in switchgear.
LT Switchgear : It is classified in following ways:-
-
7/28/2019 Yogesh Report

1. Main Switch:- Main switch is control equipment which controls or
disconnects the main supply. The main switch for 3 phase supply is
available for tha range 32A, 63A, 100A, 200Q, 300A at 500V grade.
2. Fuses: - With Avery high generating capacity of the modern power
stations extremely heavy carnets would flow in the fault and the fuse
clearing the fault would be required to withstand extremely heavy stress
in process.
It is used for supplying power to auxiliaries with backup fuse protection.
Rotary switch up to 25A. With fuses, quick break, quick make and
double break switch fuses for 63A and 100A, switch fuses for 200A,
400A, 600A, 800A and 1000A are used.
3. Contractors: - AC Contractors are 3 poles suitable for D.O.L Starting
of motors and protecting the connected motors.
4. Overload Relay: - For overload protection, thermal over relay are
best suited for this purpose. They operate due to the action of heat
generated by passage of current through relay element.
5. Air Circuit Breakers: - It is seen that use of oil in circuit breaker
may cause a fire. So in all circuits breakers at large capacity air at high
pressure is used which is maximum at the time of quick tripping of
contacts. This reduces the possibility of sparking. The pressure may
vary from 50-60 kg/cm^2 for high and medium capacity circuit
breakers.
HT SWITCH GEAR:-
1. Minimum oil Circuit Breaker: - These use oil as quenching
medium. It comprises of simple dead tank row pursuing projection from
it. The moving contracts are carried on an iron arm lifted by a long

Generator and Auxiliaries
The transformation of mechanical energy into electrical energy is
carried out by the Generator.
Working Principle
The A.C. Generator or alternator is based upon the principle of
electromagnetic induction and consists generally of a stationary part
called stator and a rotating part called rotor. The stator housed the
armature windings. The rotor houses the field windings. D.C. voltage is
applied to the field windings through slip rings. When the rotor is
rotated, the lines of magnetic flux (viz magnetic field) cut through the
stator windings. This induces an electromagnetic force (e.m.f.) in the
stator windings. The magnitude of this e.m.f. is given by the following
expression.
E = 4.44 /O FN volts
0 = Strength of magnetic field in Webers.
F = Frequency in cycles per second or Hertz.N = Number of turns in a coil of stator winding
F = Frequency = Pn/120
Where P = Number of poles
n = revolutions per second of rotor.
From the expression it is clear that for the same frequency, number of
poles increases with decrease in speed and vice versa. Therefore,
low speed hydro turbine drives generators have 14 to 20 poles where
as high speed steam turbine driven generators have generally 2 poles.
Pole rotors are used in low speed generators, because the cost
advantage as well as easier construction.

Generator component
Rotor :
The electrical rotor is the most difficult part of the generator to
design. It revolves in
most modern generators at a speed of 3,000 revolutions per minute.
The problem of
guaranteeing the dynamic strength and operating stability of such a
rotor is complicated
by the fact that a massive non-uniform shaft subjected to a
multiplicity of differential
stresses must operate in oil lubricated sleeve bearings supported
by a structure
mounted on foundations all of which possess complex dynamic be
behavior peculiar to
themselves. It is also an electromagnet and to give it the necessary
magnetic strength
the windings must carry a fairly high current. The passage of the
current through the
windings generates heat but the temperature must not be allowed to
become so high,
otherwise difficulties will be experienced with insulation. To keep the
temperature down,
the cross section of the conductor could not be increased but this
would introduce
another problems. In order to make room for the large conductors, bodyand this would
cause mechanical weakness. The problem is really to get the
maximum amount of
copper into the windings without reducing the mechanical strength.
With good design
-
7/28/2019 Yogesh Report

and great care in construction this can be achieved. The rotor is a cast
steel ingot, and
it is further forged and machined. Very often a hole is bored through
the centre of the rotor axially from one end of the other forinspection. Slots are then machined for
windings and ventilation.
Rotor winding:
Silver bearing copper is used for the winding with mica as the
insulation between conductors. A mechanically strong insulator such
as micanite is used for lining the slots. Later designs of windings for
large rotor incorporate combination of hollow conductors with slots
or holes arranged to provide for circulation of the cooling gas
through the actual conductors. When rotating at high speed. Centrifugal
force tries to lift the windings out of the slots and they are contained
by wedges. The end rings are secured to a turned recess in the rotor
body, by shrinking or screwing and supported at
the other end by fittings carried by the rotor body. The two ends of
windings are connected to slip rings, usually made of forged steel,and mounted on insulated
sleeves.
Rotor balancing:
When completed the rotor must be tested for mechanical balance,
which means that a
check is made to see if it will run up to normal speed without
vibration. To do this it
would have to be uniform about its central axis and it is most
unlikely that this
will be so to the degree necessary for perfect balance. Arrangements
are therefore
made in all designs to fix adjustable balance weights around the
-

circumference at each
end.
Stator:
Stator frame: The stator is the heaviest load to be transported. The major part of
this load is the stator core. This comprises an inner frame and outer frame. The
outer frame is a rigid fabricated structure of welded steel plates, within this shell
is a fixed cage ofgirder built circular and axial ribs. The ribs divide the yoke in the
compartments through which hydrogen flows into radial ducts in the stator core
and circulate through the gas coolers housed in the frame. The inner cage is
usually fixed in to the yoke by an arrangement of springs to dampen thedouble frequency vibrations inherent in 2 pole generators. The end shields of
hydrogen cooled generators must be strong enough to carry shaft seals. In large
generators the frame is constructed as two separate parts. The fabricated inner
cage is inserted in the outer frame after the stator core has been constructed and
the winding completed. Stator core: The stator core is built up from a large number
of 'punching" or sections of thin steel plates. The use of cold rolled grain-oriented
steel can contribute to reduction in the weight of stator core for two main reasons:
a)There is an increase in core stacking factor with improvement in lamination coldRolling and in cold buildings techniques.
b) The advantage can be taken of the high magnetic permeance of
grain-oriented steels of work the stator core at comparatively high
magnetic saturation without fear or excessive iron loss of two heavy a
demand for excitation ampere turns from the generator rotor.
Stator Windings:Each stator conductor must be capable of carrying the rated
current without overheating. The insulation must be sufficient to
prevent leakage currents flowing between the phases to earth.
Windings for the stator are made up from copper strips wound with
insulated tape which is impregnated with varnish, dried under vacuum
-

and hot pressed to form a solid insulation bar. These bars are then
place in the stator slots and held in with wedges to form the complete
winding which is connected together at each end of the core forming
the end turns. These end turns are rigidly braced and packed withblocks of insulation material to withstand the heavy forces which
might result from a short circuit or other fault conditions. The
generator terminals are usually arranged below the stator. On recent
generators (210 MW) the windings are made up from copper tubes
instead of strips through which water is circulated for cooling
purposes. The water is fed to the windings through plastic tubes.
Generator Cooling System :
The 200/210 MW Generator is provided with an efficient cooling
system to avoid excessive heating and consequent wear and tear of its
main components during operation.
Rotor Cooling System
The rotor is cooled by means of gap pick-up cooling, wherein the
hydrogen gas in the air gap is sucked through the scoops on the rotor
wedges and is directed to flow along the ventilating canals milled on
the sides of the rotor coil, to the bottom of the slot where it takes a turn
and comes out on the similar canal milled on the other side of the rotor
coil to the hot zone of the rotor. Due to the rotation of the rotor, a
positive suction as well as discharge is created due to which a certain
quantity of gas flows and cools the rotor. This method of cooling gives
uniform distribution of temperature. Also, this method has an
inherent advantage of eliminating the deformation of copper due to
varying temperatures.
Hydrogen Cooling System
-
7/28/2019 Yogesh Report
44/60
Hydrogen is used as a cooling medium in large capacity generator in
view of its high heat carrying capacity and low density. But in view of
its forming an explosive mixture with oxygen, proper arrangement for
filling, purging and maintaining its purity inside thegenerator have to
be made. Also, in order to prevent escape of hydrogen from the
generator casing, shaft sealing system is used to provide oil sealing.
The hydrogen cooling system mainly comprises of a gas control stand, a
drier, an liquid level indicator, hydrogen control panel, gas purity
measuring and indicating instruments, The system is capable of
performing the following functions :
Filling in and purging of hydrogen safely without bringing in contact with air.
Maintaining the gas pressure inside the machine at the desired value at all thetimes.
Provide indication to the operator about the condition of the gas insidethe machine i.e. its pressure, temperature and purity.
Continuous circulation of gas inside the machine in order to
remove any water vapour that may be present in it.
Indication of liquid level in the generator and alarm in case of high level.
Stator Cooling SystemThe stator winding is cooled by distillate. Which is fed from one end of
the machine by Teflon tube and flows through the upper bar and
returns back through the lower bar of another slot? Turbo generators
require water cooling arrangement over and above the usual hydrogen
cooling arrangement. The stator winding is cooled in this system by
circulating demineralised water (DM water) through hollow conductors.
The cooling water used for cooling stator winding calls for the use ofvery high quality of cooling water. For this purpose DM water of
proper specific resistance is selected. Generator is to be loaded within
a very short period if the specific resistance of the cooling DM water
goes beyond certain preset values. The system is designed to
maintain a constant rate of cooling water flow to the stator winding at

A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from one
circuit to another by magnetic coupling with out requiring relative
motion between its parts. It usually comprises two or more coupled
windings, and in most cases, a core to concentrate magnetic flux. An
alternating voltage applied to one winding creates a time-varying
magnetic flux in the core, which includes a voltage in the other
windings. Varying the relative number of turns between primary and
secondary windings determines the ratio of the input and output
voltages, thus transforming the voltage by stepping it up or down
between circuits. By transforming electrical power to a high-
voltage,_low-current form and back again, the transformer greatly
reduces energy losses and so enables the economic transmission of
power over long distances. It has thus shape the electricity supply
industry, permitting generation to be located remotely from point of
demand. All but a fraction of the worlds electrical power has passed
trough a series of transformer by the time it reaches the consumer.

220 KV SWITCHYARD
BUS BARS: The arrangement in the 220kV switchyard comprises of a 220kVdouble bus bar system, with a bus coupler and a by pass bus. With thisarrangement it is possible to take out any one breaker for maintenance withoutinterruption of supply. In the eventuality of a bus bar or a circuit breaker fault theperiod for which supply is interrupted is the time taken to transfer the feedersfrom the faulty bus to the healthy one or replacing the faulty circuit breaker bythe by-pass breaker. It is only in the case of a line fault that supply cannot be
restored to the feeder until the fault is rectified.
For maintenance of a particular bus all feeders connected to the bus requiring themaintenance shall be transferred to the other bus by closing one bus isolator andopening the other. The bus coupler shall be tripped and the earthing switchclosed. After the maintenance work is over, the earthing switch must be openedbefore the respective bus bar is energized.
For maintenance of the by-pass bus, it should be ensured that by-pass breaker isopen and all the by pass isolators of various bays are open.

Feeder breaker: When it is required to maintain either a line or a generator or atransformer breaker, the feeder is transferred to the by-pass breaker. The
earthing switches on isolators must be earthed before maintaining the breaker.
By-pass breaker: the main purpose of the by pass breaker is to facilitatemaintenance/repair of other 220 kV breakers without the necessity of tripping outthe associated circuit.
Bus coupler breaker: The two bus bars can be kept coupled through buscouplers. The by pass breaker cannot act as a substitute for bus coupler breakerwhen the bus coupler breaker is being maintained. If buses I and II are paralleledby means of bus coupler and by pass breaker then in order to maintain the buscoupler breaker all feeders must be transferred to one bus depending upon the

SYNCHRONISING: synchronizing facility with check feature has been provided
for all 220KV breakers. Whenever a breaker is proposed to be closed,
its synchronizing switch should be unlocked and synchronizing check
relay by pass switch is in circuit position. It is ensured that voltage andfrequency of the incoming and running supplies are nearly same, and
the red out of synchronism lamp is not continuously on. After the
breaker has been closed, its synchronizing switch should be returned
to off position and locked.
Synchronizing check relay SKE prevents closing of a breaker when incoming and
running supplies are out of synchronism. This relay has to be bypassed when
closing a breaker one side of, which is dead.
ANNUNCIATION SYSTEM: all breaker tripped alarms have been classed as
emergency alarms. Whenever a breaker trips, the breaker tripped facia/flashes
and a separate buzzer sounds to draw immediate attention of operator to tripping
of a breaker. Whenever an alarm initiating contact closes, the corresponding facia
of that alarm starts flashing. Simultaneously, the bell /buzzer starts ringing.
Ringing of buzzer stops automatically after a preset time. Flashing continues unit
accepts push button pressed, whereupon facia becomes steadily lighted if the
initiating contact is still closed. Facial lamps should be tested for operation
regularly by pressing lamp test button, provided separately for each control
panel

This CAG type relay is a standard attracted armature relay. In circulating
current protection schemes, the sudden and often asymmetrical growth of the
system current during external fault conditions can cause the protectioncurrent transformers to go into saturation, resulting in high unbalance current
to insure stability under these conditions.
The modern practice is to use a voltage operated high impedance relay, set to
operate at a voltage slightly higher than that developed by CT under max fault
conditions. Hence this type of relay is used with a stabilizing resistor.
12. Local breaker back up relay: this is a CTIG type three phase or two
phase earth fault instantaneous over current unit intended for use with a time
delay unit to give back up protection in the event of a circuit breaker failure.

section and faults on the remaining section are cleared in second zone, time. The
third zone provides backup protection after further time interval.
Each mho starting unit Y3 and its auxiliary Y3 X is associated with one phase and
operates for all faults involving this phase. Each reactance unit X is connected to
measure phase or earth fault distance, but is prevented from operating by short
circuit across the polarizing coils

The principle of distance scheme is shown in the above block diagram
Under the phase fault conditions, the Y3 X units unblock the appropriate X1
reactance units, which initiate tripping immediately for faults within their setting.
Operation of the earth auxiliary relay 64 in conjunction with the Y3 X units selects
the appropriate reactance units for measurement of earth faults. The reach of
reactance units is extended by the timer, 2 after successive intervals to cover

example a zone 2 earth fault which develops into a double phase to earth fault
will be cleared correctly by the X1 (phase fault) units in zone 2 time. In the rare
event of two faults occurring simultaneously at different points on the line; thescheme will measure to a distance approx. half way.
