Introduction :
A thermal power station is a powerplant in which the prime
mover is steam driven. Water is heated, turns into steam and
spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. After it
passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a
condenser and recycled to where it was heated; this is known as
a Rankine cycle. Coal is used as fuel in this plant.
One of the examples for thermal power plant is “62.5MW RTS-B
TGGENCO Ramagundam” .

Coal handling
• plant: Receives coal from wagons, ships, or trucks.
Coal Unloading:
• Coal Storage: Stores coal in yards or bunkers for stockpiling.
• Coal Reclaiming: Feeds stored coal to the system using
reclaimers.
• Coal Crushing and Screening: Processes coal to required size
using crushers and screens.
• Coal Conveying: Transports coal to boilers using conveyors.
• Coal Feeding: Meters coal to boilers using feeders.
• Magnetic Separation: Removes metal contaminants using
magnetic separators.
• Boiler Firing: Coal is fired in boilers to generate steam for
power generation.
Water treatment:
Inlet Water Treatment
- Removes impurities and contaminants from raw water.
Deminaralization
- Removes minerals and salts to produce demineralized water.
Boiler Feed Water Treatment
- Produces high-purity water for boiler operation.
Cooling Water Treatment
- Prevents corrosion, scaling, and biological growth in cooling systems.
Wastewater Treatment
- Treats and disposes of wastewater safely and environmentally friendly.
Boiler:
Boiler Types: Water-tube boiler Boiler capacity: 281,500 kg/hr
Boiler Components: Boiler efficiency: 85.8%
- Furnace Steam temperature: 516 °C
- Combustion chamber Steam pressure: 91.4 kg/cm²
- Boiler drum
- Superheater
- Economizer
- Air preheater
Boiler Fuel:
- Coal
- Furnace oil (FO)
Water-to-Steam Cycle:
• 1. Feedwater: Water is pumped into the boiler from a feedwater
tank.
• 2. Preheating: Water is preheated in the economizer using waste
heat from the flue gas.
• 3. Boiler: Water is converted into steam in the boiler using heat
from burning fuel .
• 4. Superheating: Steam is further heated in the superheater to
increase its temperature and pressure.
• 5. Turbine: High-pressure steam drives the turbine to generate
electricity.
• 6. Condenser: Exhaust steam is cooled and condensed back into
water in the condenser.
Steam Turbine:
There is a high pressure turbine at one end, followed by an
intermediate pressure turbine, two low pressure turbines, and the
generator. As steam moves through the system and loses pressure and
thermal energy it expands in volume, requiring increasing diameter
and longer blades at each succeeding stage to extract the remaining
energy. The entire rotating mass may be over 200 metric tons and 100
feet (30 m) long. It is so heavy that it must be kept turning slowly even
when shut down (at 3 rpm) so that the shaft will not bow even slightly
and become unbalanced. The turbine has 17 stages .
Air path:
1. Air Inlet: Ambient air enters the boiler through the air inlet.
2. Air Filter: Air passes through a filter to remove dust and debris.
3. Air Preheater (APH): Air is heated using flue gas heat in the APH.
4. Primary Air Fan (PAF): Heated air is blown into the furnace by the
PAF.
5. Burners: Air is mixed with fuel and ignited in the burners.
6. Furnace: Combustion takes place in the furnace, producing hot flue
gas.
7. Boiler Passes: Flue gas passes through boiler passes (e.g.,
superheater, economizer).
8. Induced Draft (ID) Fan: Flue gas is pulled out of the boiler by the ID
fan.
Electrostatic precipitator
Electrostatic precipitator (ESP) electrically charges the ash
particles and imparts a strong electric field in the flue gas to
collect and remove them. An ESP is comprised of a series of
parallel, vertical metallic plates (collecting electrodes) forming
lanes through which the flue gas passes. Centered between the
collecting electrodes are discharge electrodes which provide the
particle charging and
