PRACTICAL TRAINING REPORT ON KOTA SUPER THERMAL POWER STATION

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It is a matter of great pleasure and privilege for me to present this report of 45 days on the basis of practical knowledge gained by me during practical training at KOTA SUPER THERMAL POWER STATION (KSTPS),KOTA (Raj.) during June-July2009. I use this opportunity to express gratitude and debtness to Er.Vinod Yadav sir, Training Incharge (Electrical Engineering.), MNIT, JAIPUR. I want to express my thanks to Chief engineers of KSTPS to give their valuable time and kind co-operation, other staff members for their further co-operation to gain the better knowledge about the Power Plant.

PREFACE
The rise in civilization is closely related to improvements in transportation and requirement of energy that is not readily available in large quantities but is also readily transportable. A very peculiar fact about electrical energy is that neither it is directly available in nature nor it is directly used finally in this form, yet it is so widely produced and is the most popular high grade energy. The purpose behind training is to understand the difficult concepts in a better way with gain of knowledge. Report starts with a brief introduction of KSTPS followed by Generator, Turbine, switch gear, switch yard etc. While writing the report and while I was on my training I was wondering that science is as ever expanding field and the engineers working hard day and night and make the life a gift for us.

INTRODUCTION The KOTA SUPER THERMAL POWER STATION is ideally located onthe left bank of Chambal River at the upstream of KOTA BARRAGE. Thermal power station to produce electrical power for supply undertakings K.S.T.P.S. is designed for ultimate capacity of 1045 MW. First two units of 110MW each, another three units of 210MW each and further the sixth unit of 195MW have been completed. The state Rajasthan is predominantly rural and agricultural .While Rajasthan mineral sources are immense, its sources for power generation werent commensurable with its requirements. The large expense of water, stored by the barrage provides, as efficient direct circulation cooling system for the power station thus avoiding installation of cooling towers. For bringing in coal for power station and machinery and equipment etc. a 15Kmlong private siding from the Gurla Railway Station on Delhi-Bombay broad gauge line has been laid-up to the power station. INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING OF UNITS:The units in K.S.T.P.S. are as: Stage I - (Two units each of 110 MW) Stage II- (Two units each of 210 MW) Stage III- (one unit of 210 MW) Stage IV- (one unit of 195 MW) ENERGY GENERATED IN KSTPS Total generation Capacity = (2 x 210+2 x 210+1 x 210+ 1 x 195) =1045MW Total generated Electricity (in one hour)= 1045MW x 1=10.45Lakh units Total generated Electricity (in 24hours)= 10.45 x 24= 250.8 Lakhs units Amount of Coal required (per day) in KTPS is = 0.5 x 250.8 x 100000 Kg.= 125.4 x 100000Kg.= 125.4 million Kg.

This amount of coal is supplied by 5 trains of coal GENERATOR Generator is the main part of thermal power station or any power plant. A generator is a machine which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generator has gas cooling construction enclosing the stator winding, core and hydrogen coolers .The cooling medium hydrogen is contained within the frame and circulation by fans mounted on either ends of the rotor .The generator is driven by directly coupled steam turbine at a speed of 3000 rpm. Provision has been made for circulating the cooling water in order to maintain a constant temperature of the coolant i.e. H2 as measured at the fan section side which is in touch with the temperature of the winding, core and other parts as per load. Each of the 2 units under stage-1 have been provided with BHEL make 3phaseturbo generator rated 137.5 MVA, 11KV, 0.8 pf, 7220 Amp, 3000 rpm and 50 cycles/sec. The generator has closed loop of hydrogen gas system for cooling of the stator and rotor at a pressure of 2.0 atm. is filled in a gas tight outer casing of the generator. H2 gas circulates inside the casing by two single stage rotor mounted fans on either side of the rotor .The heated H2 is in turn cooled by six surface type water coolers axially mounted inside the generator casing .The cooling water is supplied to H2 coolers from the BCW over head tank. Each generator has terminal led out of its casing and a star point is formed by sorting the neutral side terminals by a sorting bar. The neutral is grounded by a 1phase11000/220V, 37.5 KVA. Neutral grounding transformer, whose secondary coil is laminated by laminated strip with mechanical ventilating holes, is connected across a 650V, class 0.4ohm, 50 kW neutral grounding resistors and relays for protection of generator against stator earth faults and stator in turn faults (rating 1 amp). The H2 gas inside the generator casing is prevented from leaking in between the rotor and shields, by a continuous oil film maintained between the rotor and sealing rings .The shaft sealing system have two independent oil sources associated pumps, regulators, coolers filters, electrical controls and alarm system. Two independent oil

sources are provided for air side and H2 side sealing rings. The oil circuit of the H2 side of the shaft seal is closed and the oil is vacuum treated.
