Basic principle of thermal power
plant
A generating station which converts heat energy of coal combustion into
electrical energy is known as a steam power station.
Steam is produced in the boiler by utilizing the heat of coal combustion. The
steam is then expanded in the steam turbine and is condensed in a condenser to
be fed into the boiler again. The steam turbine drives the alternator which
converts mechanical energy of the turbine into electrical energy.

Coal Handling Plant Details
Source of coal = Piparwar Mines North Karanpur
(Jharkhand)
Location = Near Ranchi
Distance = 1200 Kms.
Type of coal=f-grade(Washed) E-grade(raw)
Coal requirement=13,000MT/Day(04 rakes)




Ash Handling Technique
A natural result from the burning of fossil fuels,
particularly coal, is the emission of flyash. Ash is mineral
matter present in the fuel. For a pulverized coal unit, 60-
80% of ash leaves with the flue gas.
Two emission control devices for flyash are the fabric
filters and electrostatic precipitators.
Electrostatic precipitators have collection efficiency of
99%, but do not work well for flyash with a high electrical
resistivity (as commonly results from combustion of low-
sulfur coal). In addition, the designer must avoid allowing
unburned gas to enter the electrostatic precipitator since
the gas could be ignited.
