PREFACE
The project report consist of generation of Electricity in its seven units & constructional feature
of main parts of KOTA SUPER THERMAL POWER STATION , Kota.
Adequate diagram and layout have been provided for a more descriptive outlook and clarity of
understanding.
All in all I have tried my best to present this project report on the project semester done in
kSTPS, in a very precise and profitable manner. Any suggestion in this direction will be
gratefully accepted.
Engineering students gain theoretical knowledge only through their books. Only theoretical
knowledge is not sufficient for absolute mastery in any field. Theoretical knowledge given in our
books is not sufficient without knowing its practical implementation.
It has been experienced that theoretical knowledge is volatile in nature however makes solid
foundation in our minds.

INTRODUCATION
In April 1973, Central Electricity Authority prepared a Project Report for power station
comprising of the two units of each of capacity 110 MW for RSEB subsequently in
September, 1975 this was revised by the Consultant Thermal Design Organization ,Central
Electricity Authority for invention of 2x110 MW units being manufactured by BHEL
Hyderabad in 1 Stage.
The planning commission cleared the project report in Sept., 1976 for installation of two units
each of 110 MW in first estimated cost of Rs. 143 Crores.
There are total 11 lines coming from KSTPS each having 220V over it. Each line is going as-
1 Line Sanganer
1 Line Herapura
1 Line Modak GSS
STAGE 2 2×210 MW
STAGE 3 1×210 MW
STAGE 4 1×195 MW
STAGE 5 1×195 MW
1.2.1 LOCATION:-
The Kota Thermal Power Station is ideally on the left bank of Chambal River at
Up Stream of Kota Barrage. The large expanse of water reached by the barrage provides
an efficient direct circulation of cooling system for the power station. The 220 KV GSS is
within ½ Kms. from the power station.
1.2.2 LAND:-
Land measuring approx. 250 hectares was required for the project in 1976,For disposal of
ash tank very near to power station is acquired which the ash in slurry form is disposed off
through ash and slurry disposal plants.
1.2.3 COAL:-
Coal India limited owns and operates all the major coal fields in India through its coal
producing subsidiary companies viz. Northern Coal Fields Limited, South Eastern Coal
Fields Limited, Coal India limited is supply coal from its coal mines of coal producing
subsidiaries SECL & NCL to Kota Thermal Power Station through railway wagons. The
average distances of SECL, NCL are 800, 950 Kms. respectively .
1.2.4 WATER:-
The source of water for power station is reservoir formed by Kota Barrage on the Chambal
River. In case of large capacity plants huge quantities of coal and water is required. The cost
of transporting coal and water is particularly high. Therefore, as far as possible, the plant
must be located near the pit rather than at load centre for load above 200 MW and 375
MW. The transportation of electrical energy is more economical as compared to the
transportation of coal.
The design of steam power station requires wide experience as the subsequent
operation and maintenance are greatly affected by its design. The most efficient design
consist of properly sized component designed to operate safely and conveniently along
with its auxiliaries and installation.
A control system of station basically works on Rankin Cycle. Steam is produced in Boiler
is exported in prime mover and is condensed in condenser to be fed into the boiler again. In
practice of good number of modifications are affected so as to have heat economy and to
increase the thermal efficiency of plant.
INTRODUCTION:-
It can be called the heart of thermal power plant because it provided the fuel for combustion in
boiler. The coal is brought to the KSTPS through rails there are fourteen tracks in all for
transportation of coal through rails. The main coal sources for KSTPS are SECL (South
Eastern Coalfields Limited), NCL (Northern Coalfield Limited). Everyday 6 to 7 trains of
coal are unloaded at KSTPS. Each train consists of 58 wagons and each wagons consists of
50 tones of coal. The approximate per day consumption at KSTPS is about 18000 metric
tones. It costs approximate 4.5 crores of rupees per day including transportation expenses.
The coal is firstly unloaded from wagon by wagon triplers then crushed by crushers and
magnetic pulley and pulverized to be transformed to the boiler. The whole transportation of
coal is through conveyor belt operated by 3-Ø Induction motor.
The coal handling plant can broadly be divided into three sections :-
• Crushing System
• Wagon Unloading System
• Conveying System
3.1.1Wagon Tripler:-
It unloads the coal from wagon to hopper. The hopper, which is made of Iron, is in the form
of net so that coal pieces of only equal to and less than 200mm. size pass through it.The
bigger ones are broken by the workers with the help of hammers. From the hopper coal
pieces fall on the vibrator. It is a mechanical system having two rollers each at its ends.
Coal is used as combustion material in KTPS, In order to get an efficient utilization of coal
mills.The Pulverization also increases the overall efficiency and flexibility of boilers. However
for light up and with stand static load , oil burners are also used. Ash produced as the result of
combustion of coal is connected and removed by ash handling plant. Ash Handling Plant at
KTPS consists of specially designed bottom ash and fly ash in electro static precipitator
economizer and air pre-heaters hoppers.
4.4 Utilisation:-
Utilisation of coal-ash is always practise than its disposal. There are various methods of
utilisation of coal-ash along with established engineering technologies some of them are
mentioned below:
1. Manufacturing of building materials.
2. Making of concrete.
3. Manufacturing of pozzuolana cement.
4. Road construction etc.
In all the above cases financial constraint discourages the entrepreneurs to take up the work. In
view of the environmental impact of disposal, Government may give attractive subsidy and
create marketing facility so that entrepreneurs may come forward to use as their raw material.
For general mankind, today an Eco friendly industry is must. As far as air pollution is
concerned now a days various flue gases filter are there in service. The choice depends on the
size of suspended particle matter.These filters are E.S.P. Fabric filter high efficiency cyclone
separations and sitelling room. Fop fly ash , where the particle size vary from 0.75 microns
to 100 micron use gradually use E.S.P. to purify the flue gases due to its higher efficiency &
low running cost etc. In an ESP the dust lidder gas is passed through an intense electric field,
which causes ionization of the gases & they changed into ion while traveling towards
opposite charged electrode get deposited as particles and thus dust is electric deposited an
electrode creating the field. It is continuous process.
5.2 CONTROLLER:-
Now a day micro-processor based intelligent controllers are used to regulate the power fed
to the HVR.The controls the firing / ignition angle of the thyristor connected in parallel mode.
Input out waves of the controller and HVR are also shown above, which clearly indicates
that average power fed to ESP field can be controlled by variation of the firing angle of
thyristor.
6.2 Furnace:
Furnace is primary part of the boiler where the chemical energy available in the fuel is
converted into thermal energy by combustion. Furnace is designed for efficient and
complete combustion. Major factors that assist for efficient combustion are the temperature
inside the furnace and turbulance, which causes rapid mixing of fuel and air. In modern
boilers, water-cooled furnaces are used.

6.3 PULVERISED FUEL SYSTEM:-
The boiler fuel firing system is tangentially firing system in which the fuel is introduced from
wind nozzle located in the four corners inside the boiler.
The crushed coal from the coal crusher is transferred into the unit coalbunkers where the coal
is stored for feeding into pulverizing mill through rotary feeder The rotary feeders feed
the coal to pulverize mill at a definite rate. Then coal burners are employed to fire the
pulverized coal along with primary air into furnace. These burners are placed in the corners
of the furnace and they send horizontal streams of air and fuel tangent to an imaginary circle
in the center of the furnace.
The Fuel air (secondary air) provided FD fan, surrounds the fuel nozzles. Since this air
provides covering for the fuel nozzles so it is called as mantle air. Dampers are provided so
that quantity of air can be modulated. Coal burners distribute the fuel and air evenly in the
furnace.
Fig. – ECONOMISER
In KSTPS regenerative type of preheater is used. They use a cylindrical rotor made of
corrugated steel plate. The rotor is placed in a drum which is divided into
twocompartments, i.e. air compartment (primary air coming from primary air fan and
secondary air for air coming from FD fan with + ive pressure) and flue gases (from
economizer with – ive pressure) compartments. To avoid leakage from one compartment to
other seals are provided.
The steam is superheated to the highest economical temperature not only to increase the
efficiency but also to have following advantages –
• Reduction in requirement of steam quantity for a given output of energy owing to its
high internal energy reduces the turbine size.
• Superheated steam being dry, turbine blades remain dry so the mechanical
resistance to the flow of steam over them is small resulting in high efficiency.
• No corrosion and pitting at the turbine blades occur owing to dryness of steam.
6.11 Re-heater:-
Re-heaters are provided to raise the temperature of the steam from which part of energy has
already been extracted by HP turbine. This is done so that the steam remains dry as far as
possible through the last stage of the turbine. A re-heater can also be convection, radiation or
combination of both.
7.2.2 HP Turbine:-
The HP casing is a barrel type casing without axial joint. Because of its rotation symmetry
the barrel type casing remain constant in shape and leak proof during quick change in
temperature. The inner casing too is cylinder in shape as horizontal joint flange are relieved by
higher pressure arising outside and this can kept small. Due to this reason barrel type casing
are especially suitable for quick start up and loading.The HP turbine consists of 25
reaction stages. The moving and stationary blades are inserted into appropriately shapes
into inner casing and the shaft to reduce leakage losses at blade tips.
7.2.3 IP Turbine:-
The IP part of turbine is of double flow construction. The casing of IP turbine is split
horizontally and is of double shell construction. The double flow inner casing is supported
kinematically in the outer casing. The steam from HP turbine after reheating enters the inner
casing from above and below through two inlet nozzles. The centre flows
compensates the axial thrust and prevent steam inlet temperature affecting brackets,
bearing etc. The arrangements of inner casing confines high steam inlet condition to
admission branch of casing, while the joints of outer casing is subjected only to lower
pressure and temperature at the exhaust of inner casing. The pressure in outer casing
relieves the joint of inner casing so that this joint is to be sealed only against resulting
differential pressure.
The IP turbine consists of 20 reaction stages per flow. The moving and stationary
blades are inserted in appropriately shaped grooves in shaft and inner casing.
7.2.4 LP Turbine:-
The casing of double flow type LP turbine is of three shell design. The shells are axially split
and have rigidly welded construction. The outer casing consist of the front and rear walls , the
lateral longitudinal support bearing and upper part.
The outer casing is supported by the ends of longitudinal beams on the base platesof foundation.
The double flow inner casing consist of outer shell and inner shell. The inner shell is
attached to outer shell with provision of free thermal movement.
Steam admitted to LP turbine from IP turbine flows into the inner casing from both sides
through steam inlet nozzles.

pads. The bearings are formed for forced lubrication of oil at a pressure of 2-3 ATM/ from
the same pump that supplies oils to the turbine, bearings & governing gears. There is a
provision to ensure & measure the rotor bearing temperature by inserting a resistance
thermometer in the oil pockets.
9.1 INTRODUCTION:-
In KSTPS hydrogen cooling system is employed for generator cooling. Hydrogen is
used for cooling medium primarily because of its superior cooling properties & low density.
Thermal conductivity of hydrogen 7.3 times of air. It also has higher transfer co-efficient .
Its ability to transfer heat through forced convection is about 75% better than air. Density of
hydrogen is approx. 7/14 of the air at a given temperature and pressure. This reduces the
wind age losses in high speed machine like turbo- generator. Increasing the hydrogen
pressure the machine improve its capacity to absorb & remote heat. Relative cooling properties
of air and hydrogen are given below :-
• Rectifier transformer.
• Nos. of thyristor converters.
• An automatic voltage regulator (AVR). Field suppression equipment.
10.5.1 SYNCHRONIZING:-
For synchronizing the Generator to the grid system 5 condition of equality have to be satisfied.
These are-
(I) Voltage
(II) Frequency
(III) Phase displacement (IV) Phase sequence (V) Wave form.
Wave form and phase sequence of the Generator are determined at the design of each
