Introduction: Steam/Thermal Power station
A steam/thermal power station uses heat energy generated from burning
coal to produce electrical energy. This type of power station is widely
used around the world.
This power station uses the Rankine cycle. This is the cycle of the steam
produced in the boiler, then taken to the Steam turbine (prime mover).
From the turbine the steam is cooled back to water in the Condenser,
the resulting water is fed back into the boiler to repeat the cycle.
Because of the abundance of fuel (coal), this kind of power station can
be used to produce large amounts of electrical energy. In most countries
these power stations are used as base load power stations. This is
because steam power stations are slow to start and can not be used to
cater for peak loads that generally occur for a short duration.
These power stations (together with nuclear power stations) are kept
running very close to full efficiency for 24 hours a day (unless they are
being maintained). They have typical life of 30 to 40 years (although
most governments have reduced this number to 35 years).
Pros & Cons: what this power station presents
 Advantages Disadvantages
Cheap coal is used Air pollution from smoke fumes
Can be installed anywhere near Costs more to run compared with other
fuel & water supply types of power stations
Requires less construction
space
Cost for Generation is less

Future generations will have to learn to depend less and less on this
type of electricity generating power station, due to a fast increasing
depletion of fuels (coal and oil). As other types of power stations become
more efficient it should be possible to completely abandon the use of this
type of power station.60.254.116.34 07:24, 6 July 2012 (UTC)k

Stage 1: Coal & Ash handling
This stage is seen as the entrance and exit of fuel( coal )used. The initial
handling treatment and storage of coal and the final handling and disposal of
Ash.

Stage 2: Steam Generating Plant

This stage is seen as the energy loss stage. The steam creation by heat accounts
for the greater percentage of power station in-efficiency.

*Preheater(24) *Forced d-fan(20) *Induced d-fan(26) *Chimney(27)

Stage 3 & 4: Steam turbine & Alternator/Generator

This stage is seen as the energy conversion stage. The steam turbine converts
steam energy to rotational mechanical energy, while the Alternator/Generator
converts rotational mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Stage 5: Feed water & Cooling

This stage is seen as the recycling stage. Steam used in boiler chamber is
condensed back to water for re-use.

This schematic diagram must be properly understood. it is the basis upon which
Steam power station designs are done. the individual power station complexity
may differ slightly to the schematic and yet over and above that will use the
same principle.

This is the conventional cooling method used in most steam power

stations. Steam of very high purity is cooled inside the condenser and is
returned to the boiler(Rankine cycle).
The condenser itself uses cold water and employs the principle of heat
exchange. As the cool water is returned to the boiler, the hot water in the
condensor is pumped to the cooling tower. Here water is sprayed and
thus falls down to the water pond under the cooling tower. As the water
falls it is cooled by the natural cold air. The cooled water is pumped back
to the condenser, and the cycle is repeated. This method uses a lot of
water through evaporation.

Water consumption
≈ 2.5 lt/kWh
This is the more preffered Cooling method which is now being
implemented in most new Steam power stations. Steam is circulated
inside a radiator-like heat exchanger and is cooled by the natural cold air
blown (naturally or using draught fans) between pipes of the heat
exchanger. The cooled/condensed steam is returned to the
boiler(Rankine cycyle).
This method greatly decreases water wastages through evaporation by
almost 84% of the wet cooling method. It is called Direct dry cooling
since the condenser has been eliminated completely. This method is
favored where water is scarce.

Water consumption
≈0.4lt / 1kWh
The first Indirect Dry cooling method is called Wet cooled condenser.
Here the condenser is still used to cool steam that is pumped back to the
boiler. The hot water from the condensor is then pumped to Heat
exchangers in the cooling tower and natural ventilation is used to cool
the water which can then be pumped back to the condenser. Notice that
water consumption here is double that consumed in the direct dry
cooling method.

Water consumption
≈0.8lt / 1kWh
The second Indirect Dry cooling method is called Jet cooled
condenser.
Here the exhaust steam leaving the low-pressure turbine condensed by
a jet spray of cold water. the resulting hot water collected is through heat
exchangers in the cooling tower. The cooled water is sent back to the
boiler. Notice that water consumption is equal to the previous cooling
method.

Water consumption
≈0.8lt / 1kWh
The following is a list of factors that influence the selection of site for
constructing a Steam power station:
1. Supply of fuel:

 The station must be located close to coal mines to reduce

transportation cost of fuel.
2. Availability of water:

 The station must be located near a river bank or canal for continous
water supply.
3. Transportation facilities:

 The station must be well connected to major transport routes eg Rail

or Road.
4. Cost & type of land:

 The land must have a good bearing capacity for heavy equipment
and yet be cheap enough to purchase.
5. Distance from populated areas:

 The station must be located as far away from populated areas as

possible due to air pollution.
6. Nearness to load centers:

 In order to reduce the transmission cost the plant should be located

near load centers.
This type of power station has very high energy losses due to great heat
loss in the boiler and condensor. the following equation is used to
calculate power station efficiency:

Thermal efficiency
the above can be re-written as follows:

The above generally works out to ±30% for steam power stations.
you can further calculate overall efficiency as follows:

the above can be re-written as follows:

The above generally works out to ±29% ( 1% loss at the generator ) for
steam power stations.
Sir, From steam table we can calculate the Total heat of Superheated
steam at corresponding Steam inlet pressure of Turbine and Outlet of
turbine. As per example --(1) steam inlet pressure of turbine is 32
kg/cm2, 450 deg. centigrade. steam outlet pressure of turbine is 10
kg/cm2 saturated. (2)steam inlet pressure of turbine is 60 kg/cm2, 450
deg. centigrade. steam outlet pressure of turbine is 10 kg/cm2 saturated.
So now if we calculate heat from Steam Table, difference of Heat of (2)
is coming Less than (1). Why this happen ? Power generated is less in
(2) even though pressure is high. Than why we should go high pressure.
