Technology

Boiler

Thermodyne Technologies. Bi-drum Water Tube Boiler, Top Supported, Pneumatic Spreader with Travelling Grate. Max Continuous Rating (MCR) 40tons/hr.

Turbine

Triveni Turbines. Turbine system consisting of Multistage Turbine, Gearbox, Coupling, Governing system, Lubricating system, Accessories, AC Generator, Control and instrumentation, and Panels for operation, protection and synchronization for generating power up to 8 MW.

Air Cooled Condenser

Paharpor Cooling Towers Ltd. Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) which facilitates reduced water consumption, to condense steam vapors from the turbine.

Switchyard

The TG generates power at 11 kV level. In-house power requirement is met by stopping down the voltage level to 415 V through a step down transformer.
The surplus power of 6.75 MW is stepped up to 33kV level and connected to the APTRANSCO sub-station at Melumai which is at a distance of approximately 2 km from the plant.

De-mineralization Plant

The raw water for chemical treatment comes from the transfer pump of main water storage reservoir. The RIPL_GP DM plant is sized to meet the makeup requirement of the steam. The DM plant consists of two streams of adequate capacity each. Each stream has pressure filter, RO plant, Cat-ion, An-ion, De-gaser, mixed bed system. The system is parallel connected and manually operated.

Distribution Control System

The Distributed Control System (DCS), custom designed and installed by VRL Automation Limited, facilitates the centralized management of the entire power plant. The following are the components of DCS deployed at RIPL-GP.

Fuel Conveyer and Storage System
