Land Requirement for Main Plant and Auxiliary Systems of Indigen
1.Boiler, T.G. & Transformer Yard
•Indigenous coal has gross calorific value of 3000 kCal/kg and
35-45% ash content, Imported Coal has 6000 kCal/kg and 10% ash
content. (half the output of imported coal) (Page-9 of 55)

2. Coal Handling System
(i) Merry-Go-Round (MGR): Economical & reliable, used in pit
head power stations.
(ii) Wagon Tippler Type System: Used when power stations are
located way from coal mines.

Coal is crushed in coal crusher and sent to coal bunkers or coal

stockpiles.
3. Raw Water Reservoir
Land for raw water reservoir depends upon the source & quality of raw
water available
For coastal plant where sea water is used, land required will be
much less.
The reservoir capacity is kept for even 30 days of water
consumption.

4. Water System
The water system includes the pre-treatment & clarification plant, water
treatment plant, circulating water systems with cooling towers &
effluent treatment system.
Land requirement depends upon type of cooling towers (Natural draught
cooling tower-larger area, induced draught type cooling tower-relatively
less space) and quality of raw water.
5. Switch Yard
•The land requirement for the switchyard depends on the type of
arrangement of the bays – i.e., either a 11/2 breaker system or a 2
main bus + 1 transfer bus system is adopted for the switchyard layout
for 400 kV and above.
•The land requirement for HVDC switchyard is not included in this
report and such requirement, if any, would be extra.
