Introduction of Kota Super Thermal Power Plant It was established in 1983. It is located at the left bank of the Chambal river at the upstream of the Kota Bairage. 1st and 2nd units are of 110 MW each. 3rd, 4th and 5th units are of 210 MW. 6th and 7th units are of 195 MW.Total generation capacity : (110+110+210+210+210+195+195)=1240 MW. Favorable conditions : Abundant quantity of clean cooling water. Good transport facility.Concentration of load in Kota region due to large number of industries.

The principle of a classical Power Plant

Technical Layout of Kota Super Thermal Power Plant

Coal Handling PlantWagon unloading systemCrushing systemConveying system

Wagon Unloading SystemUnload the coal from wagon to hopper with the help of wagon Tripler . Hopper allow to pass coal pieces 200 mm. From hopper coal falls on vibrator which is supported by roller.

Conveying System Belt are used to convey coal from coal handling plant to furnace. Specification:- Belt width : 1400 mm Speed : 2.2 m/sec Total install power : 360 KW Capacity : 1350/750 ton/hrNo. of conveyor: 38

Crushing System CRUSHER HOUSE: It consists of crushers which are used to crush the coal to 20 mm size. Two TypesPrimary crusher Rail crusher Rotary crusher Secondary crusher

Boiler It is a closed vessel in which water under pressure is converted into steam. Hot water or steam used to transfer heat to a process. A boiler is always designed to absorb maximum amount of heat released in process of combustion. Furnace: It is a primary part of boiler where the fuel is burnt to liberate the heat energy.

Thermal energy by combustionChemical energy of fuel Boiler

Super heater Super Heater consists group of tubes.

The tubes are heated by the heat of combustion gases during their passes from furnace to chimney, so the temperature increased.

Super heater remove the moisture from the steam leaving from the boiler tubes. Steam Turbine

It is a machine in which a shaft is rotated steadily by reaction of steam, air upon blades of a wheel.

When steam is used then it is called steam turbine.

It works on modified rankine cycle. Mechanical EnergyKinetic EnergyEconomizer Economizer is a device which recover heat from the flue gases on their way to chimney.

It increases the 10-12 % efficiency of the plant. Electrical Generator An electrical generator is a machine which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy through electro mechanical energy conversion. The generator is driven by directly coupled steam turbine at a speed of 3000 r.p.m.

Water Treatment Plant

Pressure filter removes undisclosed impurities from raw water. Carbon filter removes excess chlorine from clarified water. D.M. plant removes dissolved impurities from clarified water. Conductivity, pH & silica content of this water must be checked time to time. D.M. water must be in ratio of 1:8

Cooling System

In KSTPS hydrogen cooling system is employed for generator cooling. Hydrogen used because of its superior cooling properties and low density. Thermal conductivity of H2 7.3 times of air. Seal oil system are used in turbine for less friction in bearing. Water cooling also used for any kind of fire.Ash Handling Plant

It can be subdivided into 3 sub plants : Fuel and ash plant Air and Gas plant Ash disposal and dust collection plant.

In thermal plants 25% is furnace bottom ash and 75% is pulverized fuel ash. Electrostatic precipitator in ash handling plant to remove fly ash .Ash Handling
