Description of boiler

•It is the steam generation unit of the plant•It transfers the heat energy of the combustion of fuel to the water•It consists of a boiler drum, mountings and accessories

9

Water circulation in boiler

•Feed pump sends demi water to the boiler drum through economizer•Heat produced by combustion converts demi-water into steam•Difference of density between steam and water creates a natural circulation in the downcomer riser circuit. 10

Boiler mountings

• These are the fittings, which are mounted on the boiler for its proper and safe functioning

• Different mountings:»Water level indicator»Pressure gauge»Safety valve»Steam stop valve»Feed regulating valve»Blow off cock»Steam regulating valve

11

Boiler accessories

• These are devices which are used as integral parts of a boiler, and help in running efficiently.

• Different accessories:»Feed water pump»Superheater»Economizer»Air preheater»Reheater

Description of turbine

It consists of 3 cylinders:1. High pressure

cylinder2. Intermediate

pressure cylinder3. Low pressure

cylinderNumber of stages are 29

Turning gear

•Used during starting and shut down•It rotates the turbine shaft at 2-3 r.p.m•It prevent thermal stresses developed due to non-uniform cooling

18

Generator

A generator consists the following parts:•Stator winding (conductor)•Rotor (magnet)•Stator core

19

Cooling system of generator

• Two coolants are used: Water and Hydrogen• Stator winding is water cooled• Rotor and stator core are hydrogen cooled• Minimum hydrogen pressure required is 3

kgf/cm2

• Hydrogen purity is maintained 99.9 %• Regulating valve always maintain 0.8kgf/cm2

pressure difference between water and hydrogen

20

Maintenance sequence in generator

• Since hydrogen is explosive in contact with air, to avoid this hazard the following sequence is followed during maintenance

• During Opening: 1. Hydrogen out 2. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in3. When the percentage of CO2 is reached to 99-

100 %, air is introduced and CO2 gets out.4. Open the generator

21

• During closing:1. Air out2. CO2 in

3. When percentage of CO2 is reached to 99-100%, hydrogen is introduced and CO2 gets out

4. When hydrogen purity reached to 99.9%, generator is closed

22

Unit protection system

• Two type of protection system are used in 210MW STPS. These are

»Electrical protection system »Technical protection or process

protection

23

Start-up of 210 MW unit• The following starting sequences are followed-• Start circulating water pump(CWP)• Fill the deaerator• Fill the boiler drum• Fire the boiler• Start the turning gear• Check the steam condition• Speed up the turbine• Then gradually increase temperature and

pressure which will take higher load

24

Shut down

• Before shut down load is cut down to 70 MW. Then switch off. After shutting off, turning gear runs for about 72 hours at 3rpm.

25

Condenser

• It is a shell and tube type condenser • Cooling water passes through the tube and

steam passes outside the tube• The number of tubes are more than 12000• The inside temperature is 45oc• It works at a pressure lower than atmosphere.

It is 0.1kgf/cm2(-0.9kgf/cm2)

26

• Ejector pump is used to vacuum the condenser

• The working principle of the ejector pump is based on venturi meter (Bernoulli's principle)

Fig: Vacuum creating principle27

Deaerator

• It removes the dissolved gas from the feed water

• The feed water is heated to saturation temperature by the steam extracted from the turbine to remove the dissolved gas

28

Description of pumps

Fig: Vacuum pump

•Vacuum pump is used to create vacuum to bring the syphon come into action. •There are two vacuum pumps•One runs and another remains standby

•Vacuum pump

29

Circulating water pump(CWP)

•There are 3 circulating water pumps, two of them are running and one remains standby•They supply water to water treatment plant, firefighting units and they supply water to all the place where cooling is necessary

Description of HP/LP Heater

• They raise the temperature of feed water before it enters the economizers.

• There are seven feed water heaters• LP heater works at around 13.6-16kgf/cm2

pressure• HP heater works at a pressure of around 182-

185kgf/cm2

33

Water treatment plant

• Maintaining good feed water is an important and fundamental aspect of any steam turbine power plant.

• A plant that maintains good feed water achieves the following three benefits:

1. Help to ensure maximum life2. Reduce maintenance expenses3. Maintain optimal thermal performance

34

Impurities of natural water

• Dissolved gases• Hardness salts• Non-hardness forming salts• Suspended matters

35

Water treatment process

36

Chemical reactions at different stages

• Clarifier Al2(SO4)3 + 3Ca(HCO3)2 = Al(OH)3 + CaSO4 + CO2

• Cat-ion exchanger HR + CaSO4 = CaR2 + H2SO4

HR + CaCl2 = CaR2 + HClRegeneration of HRCaR2 + H2SO4 = CaSO4 + HR

• An-ion exchangerROH + H2SO4 = R2SO4 + H2OROH + HCl = RCl + H2ORegeneration of ROHR2SO4 + NaOH = ROH + Na2SO4
