INTRODUCTION
 A generating station which converts heat energy of coal

combustion into electrical energy is known as thermal
power station .
 In thermal power stations coal, oil, natural gas etc. are
employed as a primary source of energy.
 In India 65% of total power is generated by Thermal power
stations .
WORKING PRINCIPLE
• Firstly the waste water is taken into the boiler from a water
sources. The boiler is heated with the help of coal.
• The increase in temperature helps in the transformation of water
into steam. The steam generated in the boiler is sent through a
steam turbine.
• The turbine has blades that rotate when high velocity steam flows
across them. This rotation of turbine blades is used to generate
electricity.
• A generator is connected to the steam turbine. When the turbine
turns, electricity is generated and given as output by the generator,
which is then supplied to the consumers through high-voltage
power lines.
GENERAL LAYOUT OF THERMAL
POWER PLANT
MAIN EQUIPMENTS
• Coal handling plant
• Pulverizing plant
• Boiler
• Turbine
• Generator
• Condenser
• Cooling towers and ponds
• Feed water heater
• Economizer
• Air preheater
• Ash handling plant
COAL HOLDING PLANT
• The function of coal handling plant is automatic feeding of

coal to the boiler furnace.
• A thermal power plant burns enormous amounts of coal.
• A 200MW plant may require around 2000 tons of coal daily.
PULVERIZING PLANT
• Pulverizing is a means of exposing

a large surface area to the action of
oxygen and consequently helping
combustion.
• Pulverizing process consists 3
stages classified as:
1. Feeding
2. Drying
3. Grinding
BOILER
The function of boiler is to generate steam at desired pressure and

temperature by transferring heat produced by burning of fuel in a
furnace to change water into steaM.
TURBINE
In thermal power plants generally 3 turbines are used to increases the efficiency.
• High pressure turbine
• Intermediate pressure turbine
• Low pressure turbine

CONDENSER
The surface condenser is a shell and tube heat exchanger where
cooling water flows through tubes and exhaust steam fed into the
shell surrounds the tubes as a result, steam condense outside the
tubes.
COOLING TOWERS AND
PONDS
• Most plant use closed cooling
system where worm water
coming from condenser is
cooled and reused.
• Cooling tower is a steel or

concrete hyperbolic structure
with the height of 150m.
FEED WATER HEATER
• Feed water heating improves overall plant efficiency.

• Quality of steam produced by the boiler is increased.
ECONOMIZER
• Flue gases coming out of
the boiler carry lot of heat.
• An economizer extracts a
part of this heat from flue
gases and used it for
heating feed water.
• Saving coal consumption
and higher boiler efficiency.
AIR PREHEATER
• An air preheater increases

the temperature of air
supplied for coal burning.
• Cooling of flue gases by
20 degree centigrade
increases the plant
efficiency by 1%.
WASTE GENERATED AND
THEIR CONTROL
• ASH HANDLING PLANT
• WATER HANDLING PLANT

ASH HANDLING PLANT
• The ash from the boiler is

collected in two forms:-
1. Bottom ash (slurry): It’s a
waste which is dumped into
ash pond.
2. Fly ash: Fly ash is
separated from flue gases in
esp.
WATER HANDLING PLANT
Water in a power plant is used for:-

• Production of Steam For rotating turbine.
• Cooling Purpose For cooling of various equipment.
• Water is recycled and used for various purpose :-
For
Raw Water Cooling Steam Condenser Raw Water
Purposes
ADVANTAGES :-
• The fuel used is quit cheap.
• Less initial cost as compare to other generating
stations.
• Requirement of less space.
• Huge amount of power can be generated .
DISADVANTAGES :-
• It pollutes the atmosphere due to producing large amount

of smoke and fumes.
• Higher maintenance cost and operational cost.
• Huge requirement of water.

CONCLUSION
The thermal power plant are industrial goods that produce

electricity. Moreover, these plants are important to customers
and are presumed to have a service life of greater than
twenty years. According , the reliability of a power plant is
considered most important ,followed by after sales services
and then economic efficiency .
