Presentation on SIX Month Industrial Training

Conducted At
Guru Hargobind Sahib Thermal Plant
Lehra Mohabat, Bathinda.
INTRODUCTION TO THE THERMAL
• Guru Hargobind Thermal Power Plant is a coal-based plant.

• There are two stages one and two. In Stage one there are two units of capacity
210kw each and stage two also consist two units each 250kw

• The requirement of coal for stage one is 6600 tonn/day and for stage two it is
7400tonn/day

• The coal comes in as large pieces. This coal is fed to primary crushers, which
reduce the size of coal pieces from 400mm to 150mm.

• Then the coal is sent to secondary crusher through forward conveyors where it is
crushed from 150mm to 20mm as required at the mills. Then the coal is sent to
boilers with the help of primary fans.
 CONTRIBUTION OF THE PLANT
• Guru Hargobind Thermal Plant, Bathinda, in addition to indirect contribution in
various facts of state economy, is also responsible for:-
– Narrowing the gap between power demand and power availability of the state.

– Providing employment potentials to thousands of workers.

– Covering the backward surrounding area into fully developed Industrial Township.

– Providing additional relief to agricultural pumping sets to meet the irrigation needs

for enhancing the agriculture production.

– Reliability and improvement in continuity of supply and system voltage.

– Achieving cent percent rural electrification of the state.

 Ash handling system
 SITE SELECTION
The location for plant should be made with full consideration not only of the trends in the
development and location but also the availability and location of the cheapest source of
primary energy:-

 Availability of fuel

 Ash disposal facilities

 Space requirement

 Nature of land

 Availability of labour

 Transport facilities

 Public society problems

 Development of Backward Area

COMPONENTS OF POWER PLANT

 BOILER
It is the main portion part of Steam Generator. It is an
assembly of a large no. of tubes embedded in refractory walls.
 There are two boilers one for each unit.
 Boiler Types are:
 Water Tube
 Fire tube
 BOILER FEED PUMP
• As the heart is to human body, so is the boiler feed pump to the steam
power plant. It is used for recycling feed water into the boiler at a high
pressure for reconversion into steam.

• Two nos. 100% duty, barrel design, horizontal, centrifugal multistage feed
pumps with hydraulic coupling are provided for each unit. This is the
largest auxiliary of the power plant driven by 3500 Kw electric motor.

• The capacity of each boiler at GURU HARGOBIND THERMAL PLANT is

756 tones/hr. The pump which supplies feed water to the boiler is named
as boiler feed pump.
 TURBINE
Turbine is a prime mover for the generator in the power
plant. In steam turbine, the potential energy of steam is
transformed into kinetic energy and later in its turn is
transformed into the mechanical energy of the rotation
of the turbine shaft. The common types of turbines are:
 Impulse Turbine
 Reaction Turbine
In GHTP three turbines are used for one unit. These are:
 High pre. (146-156 kg/cm
 Intermediate pre.
 Low pre.
 TURBO GENERATOR (TG)
The generator is directly coupled to the
turbine shaft converts mechanical energy
of turbine shaft into electrical energy.
 It consists of two electrical windings rotor & stator

 The relative motion of rotor and stator generates

the electricity

 The generators, which is hydrogen, cooled

produces electricity at 15,750 v or 16.5 kw.

 Then it is step up at 220 kw.
