A one-day industrial visit to Adani Power
Plant (UPCL) - Padubidri was organised for the second year students of Electrical
and Electronics Engineering on 24th March 2017. A group of 52
students accompanied by the faculty members Mr Subramanya K & Ms Madhavi
visited the plant. The objective of the visit was to enhance the knowledge
& enable visualization of Power generation, transmission and distribution.
Mr Lalith Prasad, Technical Staff, Adani Power Plant (UPCL) welcomed the
participants and provided information pertaining to the plant operation.
Adani Power Plant is an imported coal-based
thermal power plant and this is the first Independent Power Project in the
country to operate on imported coal and also awarded a ‘mega project’ status.
There are two 600MW power generation units (i.e. 2X600 MW = 1200MW) where, 90
per cent of the power will be supplied to Karnataka, the balance will be
supplied to Punjab, for which necessary Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) have
been made with the five Escoms/Discoms of Karnataka and Punjab State
Electricity Boards respectively. But presently one 600MW generation unit is
shut down.
The blue print of the entire power plant
along with a plant model was explained to the students. The working of the
plant which includes turbine, generators, transformers, water purification,
coal and ash storage unit, wagon etc. was explained in detail. Students also
got information of Digital control system used to monitor the entire plant. The
visit has enabled the students to gain in-depth practical knowledge on thermal
power plant, transmission, distribution of power, and safety practices followed
in power plants.
