Post 04 - Power Plant Equipments and its Functions
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Power Plant In Thermal Power Station fuel burns & use the resultant to make the steam, which derives the turbo generator. The Fuel i.e. coal is burnt in pulverized from. The pressure energy of the steam produce is converted into mechanical energy with the help of turbine. The mechanical energy is fed to the generator where the magnet rotate inside a set of stator winding & thus electricity is produced in India 65% of total power is generated by thermal power stations. To understand the working of the Thermal Power Station plant, we can divide the whole process into following parts. 1. COAL FLOW In coal fired plants, raw material are air & water in PTPS, coal is transported through Railway wagons from M/s Coal India & is kept reserved on a buffer stock. The brought out to the station is unloaded with the help of wagon tippler. After unloading, the coal is sent to crusher house with the help of conveyor belts. The
