What is Power Plant
Generation of electric power
Classification on the basis of the form of energy
converted into electrical energy
1 Steam Power Stations
2 Hydroelectric Power Stations
3 Diesel Power Stations
4 Nuclear Power Stations
What is Automation
Automation is a word used in modern industries to
express enhancement of operational efficiency
It’s main function is to reduce human interaction
without losing the efficiency of the process
Utility Of Automation
Optimizes the use of process control equipment
Decreases the response time for process
Provides information about process status
Manages process logic at the plant floor level
Increases overall productivity and plant efficiency
Advantages Of Automation System
Higher productivity
Superior quality of end product
Efficient usage of raw materials and energy
Improved safety in working condition.
Drawback Of Relay Based System
These systems are prone to errors due to the
involvement of humans in the data collection and
processing using complicated mathematical
expressions
Slow and inefficient processing
Hard Wired Logic Control
Bulky and complex wiring, also involves lot of
rework to implement changes in control logic
Thermal power plant
A generating station which converts heat energy of
coal combustion into electrical energy
It contribute maximum to the generation of Power
for any country.
It constitute 75.43% of the total installed captive
and non-captive power generation in India.
Boiler
It is a closed vessel in which steam is produced
from water by combustion of fuel
The boiler is the most important part of any power
plant because it has very critical parameters &
these must be controlled for continuous operation
Its automation decides the efficiency of a power
plant
Critical Control Parameters In Boiler
Level Control
Temperature Control
Flow Control
Pressure Control
Combustion Control
Benson Boiler
Most boilers has main difficulty of formation and
attachment of bubbles on the inner surface of the
heating tubes.
It reduces heat flow and steam generation as they
offers high thermal resistance than water film.
But in Benson boiler, pressure is raise to critical
pressure (225 atm) so that steam and water have
same density . So, it eliminate danger of bubble
formation
Main principle of Benson boiler is that it eliminates
the latent heat of water by first compressing the
feed to a pressure of 235 bar, it is then above the
critical pressure and its latent heat is zero
It makes use of Forced Circulation
It does not use any drum
