I accomplishment of this project successfully, many people have best owned upon me their
blessings and the heart pledged support. At first, I would like to thank the Almighty Allah for
guiding me to the right path. I wish to express my gratitude to my parents for overwhelming love
and care they bestow upon me, without whose proper guidance it would have been impossible for
me to be in this platform.
I would like to show my gratitude to the Plant Manager of Dhaka Northern Power Generations
Limited (DNPGL), Md. Ismail Sarker, for allowing us to conduct our industrial attachment
program at DNPGL. I must thank the Electrical Manager, Md. Farhad Hossain for his valuable
assistance and overall guidance from the early stage of this training. I am also grateful to all the
staffs of DNPGL for providing us wonderful support in various ways.
I am deeply grateful and humble to my respected supervisor, Prof. Dr. Md. Rabiul Islam,
Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Rajshahi University of
Engineering & Technology for his guidance, help and encouragement and kind consideration in

 OBJECTIVES
The prime purpose of the training was to merge our academic knowledge with the practical
knowledge of power station. This program was taken to fulfill our academic requirement. We
chose a power plant for this industrial training for a close observation of a power plant and
application of our academic knowledge in practical field. In this training, main focus was on
generation system, transmission process and maintenance of Dhaka Northern Power Generations
Limited (DNPGL) to get a complete overview. The objectives were:

 To gather practical knowledge of a real power plant.

 To become familiar with the various equipment and devices that are used in power plants.
 To know about generation system of electricity.
 To get familiar with corporate life.
 To become introduced with practical generation and transmission system.
 To compare the theoretical knowledge gained with the practical one.
 To get an overview of a real electrical power generating plant.
