Water :
The source of water (cooling for the P.S.) is the reservoir formed by Kota Barrage on the Chamble River. The comparative use of water from barrage by the P.S. is 2.75 cusec for 110 MW.

Coal:
The coal linkage for the power station is bought from Dudhichua mines of Singraulli coal field which is about 800 km from Kota. For bringing in coal for power station 15 KM long private siding from the Gurla Railway Station on Delhi-Bombay broad gauge line.

Energy Generated in KSTPS

Total capacity = 1240 MW Total Generated Electricity(in 1 hr.) = 1240MW*Hr. = 12.40 lakh units Amount of energy Generated(in 24 hrs.) = 12.40*24 = 297.6 lakh units Coal required for generation of 1 unit electricity in KSTPS = 0.5 kg So the amount of coal required (per day) is = 0.5*297.6*100000 148.5million kg This amount of coal is supplied by 6 trains of coal.

ASH HANDLING PLANT PARTS

ASH HANDLING PLANT CAN BE DIVIDED INTO THREE SUB PLANT 1. FUEL AND ASH PLANT 2. AIR AND GAS PLANT 3. ASH DISPOSAL & DUST COLLECTION PLANT

COAL HANDLING PLANT PARTS

COAL HANDLING PLANT DIVIDED IN THREE PARTS 1.WAGON UN LOADING SYSTEM 2. CRUSHING SYSTEM 3.CONVEYING SYSTEM

1). The thermal power station burns the fuel and use the heat to raise the steam. 2). Heat from the coal is absorbed by kilometers long tubes in boiler walls by Boiler Feed Water and transferred to the turbine blades rotating them.

3). When turbine rotates, the rotor housed inside the stator turns with it.
4). Electricity is produced by the movement of magnetic field created by rotor. 5). This electricity passes to the transformer which steps up the voltage for effective transmission. 6). The used steam is changed back into water in the condenser for reuse.

Principle of operation
1). Working depend on Dynamic action of steam 2). Steam is passed through passage of nozzle 3). Heat energy is converted into mechanical kinetc energy 4). The turbine suffers a change of momentum and rotates STEAM TURBINES

4.STEAM TURBINE
Steam turbine is a rotating machine which Converts the Heat Energy of Steam to Mechanical Energy. The Thermal Power Plants with steam turbine uses Rankine cycle. The stages are arranged in HP, IP and LP turbines, driving alternating current full capacity Turbo generators. There are no. of blades alternatively fix & rotate due to which velocity is increased & pressure is decreased.

6.D.M. WATER PLANT

IN D.M. WATER PLANT THE DEMINERIALIZATION OF WATER USED IN STEAM GENERATION IN BOILER IS DONE, SO THAT THE IMPURITIES AND UNWANTED MINERALS IN THAT WATER MAY NOT CAUSE ANY HARM TO BOILER AND TURBINE.

7.COAL HANDLING PLANT

Coal received are unloaded from tripper & is manually crushed, then it pass through crusher. Now it is supplied to PULVIRIZER through conveyor belt. Through coal feeder it goes to mill where it is further pulverized & goes to furnace. ADVANTAGES OF PULVIRZER -:

The rate of combustion can be controlled and changed quickly to meet the varying load . The banking losses are reduced. The percentage of excess air required is low. Automatic combustion control can be used .

8. ASH HANDLING PLANT

Three motors are connected in series, Ash comes with water is extracted through these motors & goes to ash dam. Ash is available for building contractors, cement manufacturers or it can be used for brick making near the plant site. (FREE OF COST) Otherwise wasteland should be available near the plant site for disposal of ash.

CONCLUSION
The first phase of practical training has proved to be quiet faithful . It proved an opportunity for encounter with such huge machines like tippler, 210 MV turbines and generators etc It also provides an opportunity to learn technology used at proper place and time can save a lot of labor for e.g. Wagon tipper (CHP) However training has proved too is quite faithful. It has allowed as an opportunity to get an exposure of the practical implementation to theoretical fundamentals.

The Advantage In Kota For Thermal Power Station

Availability of large amount of clean cooling water required for the station. Location of station on broad gouge main Delhi Bombay Railway line. Concentration of load in Kota city and Kota region. Constant power supply. Proximity to M.P. coal fields. Transmission and grid substation are quite nearer to the site.
