    The document discusses supercritical coal-fired power plants. It explains that supercritical refers to main steam operating above water's critical pressure of 221.5 bar, where there is no distinction between steam and water. Next generation ultra supercritical plants will operate at steam pressures of 300 bar and temperatures of 615-630°C. The main parts of a thermal power plant are the boiler, turbine, condenser, and cooling tower. Boilers generate steam using an external combustion source, and larger boilers have various accessories like economizers and superheaters. Once-through boilers convert all water directly to steam without a boiler drum. Turbines use the steam to rotate generators and produce electricity. Condensers cool exhaust

    SUPERCRITICAL COAL FIRED POWER PLANT

    Vipul Khandelwal(100106380)

    Introduction
    The term SUPERCRITICAL" refers to main steam operating conditions, being above the critical pressure of water (221.5 bar). The significance of the critical point is the difference in density between steam and water. Above the critical pressure there is no distinction between steam and water, i.e. above 221.5 bar, water is a fluid.

    SUBCRITICAL V/S SUPERCRITICAL

    Ultra Supercritical Power Plants


    The next generation of power plants will operate with steam Pressures in the range of 300 bar. These are the Ultra Super Critical Power plants. Ultra Supercritical Units operate at temperatures of 615 to 630 deg C.

    Main Parts of a Thermal Power Plant


    Boiler Turbine Condenser Cooling Tower

    Boiler
    Boiler is a device for generating steam for power, processing or heating purposes. Boiler is designed to transmit heat from an external combustion source (usually fuel combustion to a fluid) contained within the boiler itself

    Various accessories of a 700 MW Boiler include :


    Economiser Boiler drum Down Comers Water walls Primary super heater Secondary super heater Reheater

    ONCE THROUGH BOILER


    When all the water flowing through water wall gets converted into team in one circulation, it is called once through Boiler . The water enters into water wall directly without being stored in Boiler drum and enter SHs directly after being converted into steam. Thus, Boiler drum plays no role in a Once through Boiler.

    Steam Turbine
    Steam Turbine is regarded as a prime mover which rotates the generator for producing electricity The driving force for rotation in turbine is generated by superheated steam supplied from Boiler

    Cooling tower
    Cooling tower cools down the hot water of Turbine Condenser by the process of evaporative cooling and sensible heat transfer. This cold water is recycled into the system again for condensation of exhaust steam in Condenser. Condenser act as heat load and cooling tower plays an important role in maintaining vacuum in condenser.
