 A coal based thermal power plant consists of large number of integrated plants/systems and
equipment having mechanical, electrical, instrumentation & control and civil components. The plant
systems and equipment can be broadly classified into following two categories

 Main Plant comprising of steam generator, steam turbine and generator along
with their associated auxiliaries.
 Balance of Plants (BOP) system which includes major components of
 coal handling plant,
 ash handling plant,
 fuel oil handling
 unloading system,
 water treatment system,
 circulating water system fire protection, detection & alarm system.

Requirement of Main Plant system can be standardized and are not site specific except for coal quality
and cooling water temperature which are fairly uniform for indigenous coal and Indian ambient
conditions.

Each section covers the technical description of the plant systems and their various alternatives, design criteria/
guidelines for selection of plant system & equipment, broad technical details, and applicable codes & standards.
 The coal handling plant (CHP) in a thermal power station covers unloading of coal, its crushing,
storage and filling of boiler bunkers.

 In a coal based thermal power plant, huge amount of ash is generated which has to be disposed off
continuously. The ash handling system covers evacuation of ash and disposal in wet, semi wet and dry form.

 Water is required for condenser cooling, ash disposal, heat cycle make up, equipment cooling, service water, potable
applications and other miscellaneous applications. Raw water available from river, canal etc. is required to be treated to
suit the particular application. Various types of treated water uses are:
a) Clarified water as cooling tower make-up and service water
b) De-mineralised water for heat cycle make-up, equipment cooling system makeup,
condensate polishing plant regeneration etc.
c) Filtered & disinfected water for potable water requirement.

 The fire protection, detection and alarm system is provided for thermal power station to protect the plant against fire
damage to avoid loss of life and property. Fire detection system is provided to detect fire in its incipient stage and to
actuate the fire protection system to extinguish fire. Alarm system gives warning in case of fire to prompt fire fighting
staff and other operation personnel to take necessary action. In addition to fixed automatic system, portable and mobile
systems are also provided for fire extinguishing.
