STUDY AREA
The site selected for the present study is Kakatiya Thermal
Power Plant , located at Chelpur village of Warangal district,
Telangana.
Location :
latitude 18°2’15“ N
longitude 79°50'22“ E
Generating capacity - Phase I-500 MW running.
-Phase II- 600MW under implementation.
The power plant is one of the coal based power plants of
Telangana State Power Generation Corporation (TSGENCO).
Coal source-Tadicherla mines of singareni
It has set up a 500 MW (and another unit of 1x600MW unit
is under construction, thus the total capacity will become
1100MW) super thermal power plant in the Chelpur/
Bhupalpally area.
Power Grid Corporation of India Limited is having a
630MVA, 400/220KV Substation in the Oglapur village in
Atmakur mandal.Warangal.
The CALPUFF model was originally developed by the Sigma Research Corporation
(SRC) in the late 1980s under contract with the California Air Resources
Board (CARB) and it was first issued in about 1990.
The Sigma Research Corporation subsequently became part of Earth Tech, Inc.
After the US EPA designated CALPUFF as a preferred model in their Guideline on
Air Quality Models, Earth Tech served as the designated distributor of the model.
In April 2006, ownership of the model switched from Earth Tech to the TRC
Environmental Corporation, who are currently (August 2013) responsible for
maintaining and distributing the model.
Technical Background
As the wind flow changes from hour to hour, the path each puff takes
changes to the new wind flow direction.
For these tests, CALPUFF was set to emit 99 puffs per hour(default).
