LAYOUTS OF MODERN THERMAL

POWER PLANTS
1.LAYOUTS NEED TO BE ECONOMICAL
2.LAND COSTS MUCH HIGHER THAN EARLIER DAYS
3.LAYOUTS DEPEND MAINLY ON THE FOLLOWING FACTORS
a. Location of the Plant and source of cooling water
b. Fuel Linkage
c.Piece Meal Construction of the plant
d.EASE OF INSTALLATION,OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
e.AVOIDANCE OF INTEREFERENCES
CLEAR PASSAGES AND EASE OF APPROCH TO VARIOUS FLOORS
AND EQUIPMENT
f.PROPER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
g.GOOD ASTHETICS AND APPEARANCE
COAL HANDLING PLANT
• PIT HEAD POWER PLANTS---MGR
• PLANTS AWAY FROM THE COLLIERIES.STACKER
RECLAIMER,PRIMARY CRUSHERS AND
CONVEYOR SYSTEM
• COAL SUPPLIES FROM IMPORTED SOURCES
AND PLANTS LOCATED ON THE SHORES
• IMPORTED COAL WITH HIGH SULPHUR
CONTENT NEED TO HAVE A FLUE GAS
DESULPHURISATION PLANT
ASH HANDLING PLANT
• ASH POND
• SELLING OF FLY ASH TO CEMENT PLANTS
SMALLER ASH PONDS
• IMPORTED COAL ,LESS ASH, SMALLER AHP
AND SMALLER POND
PIECE MEAL CONSTRUCTION OF
PLANTS
• CW FOREBAYS WILL BE DIFFERENT FOR A SET OF UNITS ,SO ALSO
THE PUMP HOUSES FOR EXAMPLE A PLANT HAVING 4 UNITS OF
500MW HAS A SINGLE FOREBAY AND PUMP HOUSE.
• ADDITIONAL RAW WATER SYSTEMS AND WATER TREATMENT
PLANTS
• ADDITIONAL FUEL OIL PUMP HOUSES NEED ADDITIONAL SPACE
• A PLANT WITH 4 UNITS OF 500MW CAN HAVE ASINGLE CONTROL
ROOM ,WHERE AS UNITS ADDED ON PIECE MEAL NEED SEPARATE
CONTROL ROOMS AND ADDITIONAL SPACE
• NTPC HAS STANDARDISED THE UNIT SIZES AND LAYOUTS,BUT THE
ELECTRICITY BOARDS HAVE FAILED TO DO SO
MAIN PLANT EQUIPMENT
• BOILER ,TURBINE,GENERATOR,TRANSFORMER
YARD,SWITCH YARD
• BOILER FEED PUMPS,STATION COMPRESSORS
ANDTURBINE AND GENERATOR AUXILIARY
SYSTMS
• FANS, MILLS, ESP
• HT AND LT SWITCH GEAR
• STATION BATTERIES ,UPS SYSTEMS,BATTERY
SYSTEM FOR CONTROL EQUIPMENT
• STATION EOT CRANES
CONSIDERATIONS FOR GOOD LAYOUT
• BALANCE TO BE STRUCK BETWEEN PERSONAL LIKINGS AND TECHNO-
ECONOMICAL REQUIREMENTS.
• TURBINE ,GENERATOR AND AUXILIARIES ARE HOUSED IN STATION
BUILDING
• PROPER OPENINGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE TG FLORINGS TO FACILITATE
TO LIFT AND TAKE OUT THE EQUIPMENT FOR MAINTENANCE
• EOT CRANES ARE HOUSED IN THE TG HALL TO HANDLE THE EQUIPMENT
• THE HT AND LT SWITCH GEAR ARE LOCATED IN THE LOWER FLOORS OF
ELECTRICAL BAY
• THE CABLE GALLERY IS JUST ABOVE SWITCHGEAR
• THE UNIT CONTROL ROOM IS LOCATED AT THE OPERATING FLOOR FROM
WHERE ALL MAIN EQUIPMENT ARE EASILY VISIBLE AND ACCESSIBLE
• THE GENERATOR TRANSFORMER, STATION
TRASFORMERS ,UNIT AUXILIARY
TRANFORMERS,SERVICE TRANSFORMERS ARE
LOCATED AT GROUND LEVEL OUTSIDE THE TG
BUILDING
THE BUS DUCT CONNECTS GENERATOR AND GT
AND UATS
• THE INTERCONNECTING TRANSFORMERS ARE
LOCATED IN THE SWITCHYARD
LAYOUT OF BOILER PLANT
• THE HEIGHT OF A TWO PASS 500MW BOILER IS 72
METERS.IT HOUSES ALL THE HEAT TRANFER
SURFACES LIKE WATER WALLS,SUPER
HEATERS ,REHEATERS,ECONOMISERS AND AIR
PREHEATERS
• MILLS ,FANS,ESP ARE THE OTHER MAJOR
COMPONENTS
• ELECTRICAL HOISTS ARE PROVIDED TO TAKE UP
REPAIRS,OVERHAULING OF THE RESPECTIVE
EQUIPMENT
• NORMALLY THE TURBINES ARE TANDEM COMPOUNDED.IN CASE
OF UNIT SIZES OF 1000MW AND ABOVE CROSS COMPOUNDIG IS
ADOPTED.
• THE TG BUILDING HAS FIRE RESISTAT DOORS AND ESCAPE ROUTES
FOR USE DURING EMERGENCIES AND FIRE
• IN OLDER UNITS MOST OF THE CABLES WERE LAID
UNDERGROUND.BUT NOWADAYS CABLES ARE LAID ON CABLE
RACKS FOR EASE OF MAINTENCE.
• THE O&M OFFICES AND MAITENANCE STORES ARE TO BE LOCATED
ADJACENT TO THE PLANT
• REPAIR BAYS ARE PROVIDED TO CARRY OUT CAPITAL
OVERHAULING OF THE TG EQUIPMENT
• A MAINTENANCE WORKSHOP IS ESTABLISHED TO TAKE UP IN
HOUSE JOBS
COMMON FACILITIES
• ADEQUATE NUMBERS OF LIFTS ARE
INSTALLED FO THE MOVEMENT OF O &M
STAFF AND ALSO THE MATERIALS.
• TOILETS ,REST ROOMS,SMALL KITCHENET AND
