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.
