ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We thank Mrs. Sreekumari Radhakrishnan for allowing us to undergo summer training at NTPC Kayamkulam and all of the HR team of the Institute for their continued guidance. We also wish to convey our warm regards to Mr. Manu George Thomas, Mr.Ashil Thomas & Mr. Dinesh K V for providing us with all the knowledge database that we needed for this report.
We also thank Mr. M G K Pillai for providing us this wonderful opportunity to work with the NTPC family.
Overview of NTPC
NTPC was set up in the central sector in the 1975 in response to widening demand & supply gap with the main objective of planning, promoting & organizing an integrated development to thermal power in India. Ever since its inception, NTPC has never looked back and the corporation is treading steps of success one after the other.Today NTPC contributes more than 1/ 4th of the total power generation in India.
NTPC KAYAMKULAM
BRIEF DISCRIPTION Established in : 1998 : Rajiv Gandhi Combined Cycle Power Project (RGCCPP) Type of station : Gas based combined cycle : Rs. 1189.94 crore : Choolatheruvu in Alappuzha district of Kerala : Naphtha : BPCL : Achankovil river : 2 X 115 MW
Project Name
Approved Invetment Location Fuel Fuel source Water source Gas Turbine Output
Steam Turbine Output : 1 X 120 MW Net plant Output Beneficiary States : 350 MW : Kerala & Tamil Nadu (with consent of Kerala)
can supply the total auxiliary power required to start a gas turbine from standstill condition.RGCCPP is provided with diesel generator set for the duty.
Turbine-Generators:
The air then enters the gas turbine where it is compressed, mixed with fuel Naptha and ignited, which causes it to expand. The pressure created from the expansion spins the turbine blades, which are attached to a shaft and a generator, creating electricity. Each gas turbine produces 115 megawatts (MW) of electricity.
Steam Turbine
The steam turbine is capable of producing up to 120 MW. It is located on top of the condenser, across from the cooling tower.
Steam enters the turbine with temperatures as high as 550 degree Celsius and pressure as strong as 2,200 pounds per square inch. The pressure of the steam is used to spin turbine blades which is coupled to a generator, producing additional electricity, about 120 MW per HRSG unit. After the steam is spent in the turbine process, the residual steam leaves the turbine at low pressure and low heat, about 100 degree Celsius. This exhaust steam passes into a condenser, to be turned back into water. By using this combined-cycle process, two gas turbines and one steam turbine, we can produce a total of about 350 MW of electricity.
The cool basin water absorbs all of the heat from the
residual steam after being exhausted from the steam turbine and it is then piped back to the top of the cooling tower.
As the cool water drops into the basin, hot wet air goes
out of the stacks. Normally, hot moist air mixes with cooler dry air, and typically a water vapor plume can be formed.

DeMineralising Plant
It is the plant where the purified water to condenser is demineralised. Demineralisation is done to prevent the rusting of condensing chamber and its pipes. It has the following five stages:
Actuated Carbon Filter (ACF) Strong Acid-Cation exchange bed (SAC) Degasser tower Strong Base Anion exchange bed Mixed Bed Unit (MBU) Passing through these five stages, purified water is demineralised and fed to the condenser.
CONCLUSION
In today s society electricity is a prerequisite. Being electrical engineering students, studying about its generation has been our necessity. The past six days in NTPC gave us an opportunity to explore the dimensions of power generation, with the proper guidance of the qualified and skilled employees of NTPC. The knowledge we gained from this training would be highly beneficial in our further studies and career.
