This unit enables students to understand the entire system of a thermal power plant. Heat energy is used to convert water into steam. The steam pressure then drives an engine or turbine, producing mechanical energy. Finally, this mechanical energy is converted into electricity through an alternator.

Experimental Objective

• Gain hands-on exposure to real steam power plant systems and operations through a guided tour of the campus power plant.
• Analyze the impact of operating conditions and system configurations on steam power plant performance by performing detailed computer simulations.

Specification

• This unit helps students understand the complete operation of a thermal power plant.
• Heat energy is used to convert water into steam.
• The high-pressure steam drives an engine or turbine to produce mechanical energy.
• The mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy using an alternator.

Parts details of boiler

• Boiler for steam generation with electrically heated elements.
• Boiler diameter 400 mm.
