ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Our sincerest thanx must be extended to Mr.Pramod
Mongia (Training Incharge-IPGCL & PPCL) who
admitted us bounteously trainees at power plant under
IPGCL & PPCL where in we came to know the technical
know how of operation of the above power plants. We
wish to thank those individuals whose generous
painstaking permission led us to come across different kind
of operation in these plants.
We would like to express our profound gratitude to Mr.
Praveen Kumar (Assistant Manager of Electrical Deptt. In
GTPS) who imparted his valuable knowledge and
suggestions painstakingly with his dexterous skill in his
own departments. We always are indebted for his efforts. In
addition to we would like to thanx these personnel
wholeheartedly who were benevolent to impart their
concrete practical knowledge and experience that they
amassed in years which considerably help us to visualize a
close contrast between theoretical and practical knowledge.
At last we would like to thanx every individual for there
friendly co operation and eternal suggestion during our
entire training period, which help us enormously to account
our vocational training successfully.

HISTORY OF DELHI VIDYUT BOARD

Electricity in Delhi was first generated about 97 years 1903
when the Indian electricity act was made and John flemmin
&Co. was allotted the task generation and distribution of
power in Delhi. It was an English firm, which initially
installed small diesel generating set at Lahore gate power
house.
In 1911 this company handled over the work of generation
and distribution to Tramway and lighting company. Which
ultimate took the name of Delhi electric supply and cons.
Ltd? With the growth of population the demand of
electricity increased in 1932, steam generating set was
installed by MCD at the bank of Yamuna and named as
central power house.
In 1951 the license of Delhi electricity supply and cons.
Ltd. Expired and Delhi electricity board commission
installed a station of capacity of 20Mw commonly called as
DESU also took up a huge program of installation of
generating units of IP station to supply the power of city.
Mitsubishi Wasting house and Mitsubishi combustion
engg. Japan installed unit 1 at IP. It was commissioned by
Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru in 1963. In 1966-68 General Electric
company installed 3 units of 62.5Mw capacities. In 1971
unit 5 of 60Mw commissioned by IP.

INTRODUCTION :
There are six gas turbine generator used in GTPS. Each
generator having capacity of 30MW. There are three
WHRU (Waste heat recovery units) having the capacity of
34 MW. So the total capacity of GTPS is 282 MW.
The plant has been commissioned to cater to the growing
needs of Delhi. The beneficiary areas of this plant are
NDMC, DMRC and South Delhi.

STEAM GENERATING UNIT

The heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) is a horizontal, natural
circulation, single drum, single pressure, uni-fired, water tube
boiler.
In operation parameters as follows:
Designed pressure
55kg /cm2
Hydraulic test pressure
32.5kg/ cm2
Steam generation
62.5 ton /hr
Superheated system I/O pr.
40.5kg
Temperature
502oc

SUPER HEATER MODULE

The saturated steam is heated to a high temperature in super heater
to convert it in super heated steam.
Super heater is the first heat transfer surface arranged in the
direction of gas flow.
It consist of finned tube module assembly, top and bottom headers
and connecting links. The adjacent headers are interconnected with
bent tubes. The top headers of the SH are equipped with the vents
for start up pressure.

GT exhaust gases, after passing through all heat exchangers &is

discharged into atmosphere through 30m tall steel chimney.
Specifications for the chimney are as follows:
Heating surface
240fins/meter
Super heater
3838.15 meters2
Evaporator
11860 meters2
Economizer

ECONOMISER
Economizer is the third heat transfer surface arranged in the direction of
the gas flow it is constructed of the modules, consisting of spiral finned
welded to the top and bottom headers, two rows per module. Economizer
is designed for single pass flow on the gas side and multipass flow on the
tube side the modules are inter connected with multiple 180o bent tubes of
similar material of headers specification are as follows
1) Economizer headers
Outside diameters 219.1mm

WORKING OF GAS TURBINE

When the turbine starting system is actuated and the clutch is engaged,
ambient air is drawn through the air inlet plemun assembly, filtered and
compressed in the 17 stage, axial flow compressor. The turbine is
provided with pulsation protection during startup. Compressed air from
the compressor flow into the combustion liners and eaters the combustion
zone through metering holes in each of the combustion liners for proper
fuel combustion.
Fuel from a base source is provided to 14 equal flow lines, each
terminating at a fuel nozzle centered in the nozzle, the fuel is accurately
controlled to provide an equal flow into the 14 nozzle feed line at a rate
consistent with the speed and load requirements of the gas turbine. The
nozzles introduce the fuel into the combustion chambers where it mixes
with the combustion air and is ignited by one combustion chamber; flame
is propagated through connecting crossfire tubes to all other combustion
chamber. After the turbine rotor reaches the operating speed, combustion
chamber pressure causes the spark plugs to retract to remove their
electrodes from the hot flame zone.
The hot gases from the combustion chambers expand into the 14 separate
transition pieces attached to the other end of the combustion chamber.
Liners and flow from their to the three-stage turbine section of the
machine. Each stage consists of a row of fixed nozzles followed by a row
of routable turbine buckets. In each nozzle now, the kinetic energy of the
jet is increased with an associated pressure drop and in each following
row of moving buckets; a portion of the kinetic energy of the jet turns the
turbine rotor. Resultant rotation is used to turn the generator rotor and
generate electric power.
After passing through the third-stage buckets, the gases are directed into
the exhaust hood and diffuser which contains a series turning vanes to
turn the gases from an axial direction to a radian direction thereby

minimizing exhaust hood losses. The gases then passes into the exhaust
penum and are introduced either to atmosphere through the exhaust stack
in simple cycle or to heat recovery system generator (HRSG) for
generation of steam in case of combine cycle mode of operation.
