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.
 Generation of Electricity
• Prime mover coupled to Alternator

• Prime mover is driven by energy obtained from various sources

such as
• burning of coal
 CONTROL AND
INSTRUMENTATION
 Working of plant is gradually moving from a regulated to a non-regulated
system with high competition.

 Power Plant’s efficiency is dependent on quality of its operations and maintenance

and C&I has a crutial role in it.

 C&I has very important role in stabilization of various subsystem of Power Plant
through
– tuning and commissioning of various Loops
– performance monitoring of various subsystems
– optimal operation of the plant at the target performance level
– Prevent Tripping and Forced shutdowns

• Use of Latest C&I systems has resulted in increase in PLF and decreasing the
manpower required per MW.
 CONTROL AND
INSTRUMENTATION LAB

1. MANOMETRY LAB
2. PYROMETRY LAB
3. AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEMS LAB
4. PROTECTION & INTERLOCKING LAB
5. FURNACE SAFEGAURD SUPERVISORY
SYSTEM LAB
 MANOMETRY LAB
This lab deals with the instruments related to
pressure measurement.
This Lab. Consists o

• Sensor

• Indicator

• Scale/Recorder
 BOURDON TUBE
• Bourdon tube is non
liquid pressure
measurement device.

• Typical tube contains a

curved tube that is open to
external pressure input on
one end is coupled to
needle.
 PYROMETRY LAB
This lab deals with the instruments related to
temperature measurement like :
 Thermocouple

 Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD)

RTD – Resistance Temperature Detector

• Used as a primary sensing element

• operates on this principle of changes in electrical

resistance
• Temperature Range : 183°C – 540°C
• Element Resistance at 0°C : 100 ohm
• Accuracy : +/- 0.5
AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEM LAB
• Deals in automating the equipments and feeding
routes.
• Provides safe operation under all plant disturbances
and component failures.
• Requires 24 Volt DC, 4-20 mA to excite all the controls.
• System installed in BTPS is “OLD RUSSIAN SYSTEMS”.
• These are ACS (Automated Control System) which are
slowly being replaced by DCS (Digital Controlled
Systems).
PROTECTION & INTERLOCKING LAB
Interlocking : It is basically inter-connecting two or
more equipments so that if one fails other can
perform the task.
Main Equipments of this lab:
 Relays
 Fuses
 Circuit Breakers
 Fuses
• It is a sheet piece of metal.

• It melts if a heavy current

flows through it and breaks
the circuit.

• Usually silver is used as a fuse

material.
 Relays
 The main operation of a relay comes in places where
only a low-power signal can be used to control a
circuit.

 It is also used in places where only one signal can be

used to control a lot of circuits.

 They are used to switch the signal coming from one

source to another destination.
 FURNACE SAFEGUARD
SUPERVISORY SYSTEM LAB
• In this lab, fuel firing system is monitored in the
furnace.

• Oil is sprayed first for firing of coal in furnace so

Light Diesel Oil (LDO) is used for ignition.

• The rate of oil flow is 6000 L/hr before firing.

OBJECTIVE OF C&I SYSTEMS

• Safe operation of plant

• Better visibility, close monitoring of Plant parameters and events for

fault analysis

• Lower the cost of generation

• Increase equipment life

• Minimize environmental effect

• Maximize efficiency

• Energy conservation
