Chapter-1 Introduction

1.1 Introduction
This report has been prepared as an integral part of the internship program for the Bachelor of
Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) Program at the Department of Mechanical
Engineering (ME) in IUBAT—International University of Business Agriculture and
Technology. As a partial fulfillment of the BSME program this practicum report has been
accomplished on “A Study on Operation of Steam Power Plant ” under the instruction of
Engr. Delwar Hossain Khalifa, Deputy Manager (Opeartaiton 3rd & 4th Unit ), Ghorashal
Power Station.

1.2 Objective
The broad objective of the report has been made to show the total operation of 210 MW
steam power plant.

The specific objective of this report includes:

 To study operational activities of the steam turbine .

 To study the standard process of Boiler operation .

 To study operation of Generator.

 To make an operation activities through whole operation Systems

1.3 Scope

This report will cover the Power generation, operation and a broad knowledge of different
kinds of things through electricity power generation sector. Managing the Operation of
Power plant to maintain it’s require standard and user perception toward it is the main scope
of discussion in this report. All the improved Process that can be used in Power Plant for
proper tracking improvement and decreasing extra cost require for operation of technical
activities will also discuss here.

The scope will be limited to only this type of power Plants and that is also limited in
Bangladesh. Because of, this is the biggest Steam power plant in the Bangladesh. . But
hopefully, in near future the scope is going to be widened.

1.4 Background
Power plant is one of the few booming industries in Bangladesh generating huge foreign
direct investment and also a significant number of employment opportunities. This industry is

Chapter-1 Introduction

one of the major driving forces of national economy and with the continuous development of
technologies worldwide. In the Power sector, Power industry of Bangladesh promises to
bloom further in the coming years.

In today’s dynamic business environment, it is even more challenging to run the technology
based businesses in the right direction with minimum cost which ultimately maximizes the
profit. Such is the pace of technological development & increase of cost in the current world,
the technical companies have to maintain a relentless focus on the Maintenance of Plant
properly to keep track of all the activities and do benefit by saving extra cost. Seeing an
opportunity to cut costs, increase productivity, and streamline its business-support system
landscape, the companies began investigating how it could implement a common global
system in order to work with its Technical Team in a more productive and uniform way.

1.5 Methodology
A qualitative research method has been used to conduct this study of practicum in steam
Power Plant. The information of this report has been collected from the following sources:

1. Plant Management Manual


2. Plant Operation Manual
3. Plant Maintenance Manual
4. Quality Management Manual
5. Environment, heath & Safety Manual

1.6 Limitations

During practicum in Ghorashal Power Station, a huge amount of information has been
accumulated from the organization. The employees were very much cooperative. They helped
me a lot, thus it was very much easy to understand most of the technical terms. But as it is a
government organization, sometimes the employees were busy with their official work.
Therefore at all time it was not convenient to communicate with them because of their hard
work. Yet they tried to help me as much as possible by them. Moreover, during the practicum
period I didn’t get all the possible troubles of the power plant.
