Gas Turbine
The gas turbine is a single shaft. It is a
50Hz, 138MW machine which run on natural
Gas but can also be operated on liquid
NAPTHA .The GT is a common form of heat
Engine working with a series of processes
consisting of compression of air taken from
atmosphere ,Ignition of fuel in CC
,combustion and expansion
It works on Brayton cycle
The turbines used are of Siemens

Main Components of
GT
Air intake system
Compressor
Combustion Chamber

Air intake system

It providers clean air into the compressor.
The filters in the Air Intake System
prevents the impurities and the dust
present in the air from entering into the
compressor blades

Compressor
It is a 16-stage compressor.
It compresses the air
coming from the Air Intake
System in the ratio 11:1

Combustion Chamber
There are two combustion chambers Left
CC and Right CC, having 8 burners each.

The fuel (i.e. Natural Gas) is supplied here.

The air coming from the compressor is
mixed with the fuel and, the combustion
takes place.

Turbine
The turbine is provided at the end of the gas
turbine unit. The turbine consist of 4stages
of the blades. It also has the bearing to
support the shaft at its end.
The exhaust of the turbine is connected
to by pass stake, which is further Connected
to waste heat recovery steam generator.
The by pass stake is provided with the
diverter dampers .

WHRSG
Basic Parts

Condensate
preheater
Economiser
Evaporator
Superheater
Steam Drum

Working Of WHRSG
The boiler feed pumps (HPBFP & LPBFP) feed the
water to the HP & LP economizers, where the
temperature of the water rises close to the
saturation temperature
After flowing to the economizer the water is
passed to the steam drums through feed control
system, then the water is taken to the bottom
headers of the evaporator through down pipes,
here the water get converted into steam & water.
This steam at the outlet of the super heater is
carried to the steam turbine through feed pipes.

Steam Turbine
The plant is provided with one steam
turbine generating unit.
The turbine is 3000 is 156 MW ,50 Hz
two cylinder type turbine
The first cylinder (H.P) is single flow type
with 25 reaction stages & the second
cylinder (L.P) is double flow with 7
reaction stages.
The H.P & L.P sections have individuals
turbine rotors, which are connected to

SWAS
This is the steam water analysis
system
Online a well as offline monitoring is
performed
The sample collected is first cooled
and then it is checked for
concentration of various chemicals
Monitoring is done for pH
measurement, oxygen detection
and specific conductivity
determination

pH Analyser
pH is used to determine the acidic or
basic nature of a substance
It is the meassure of hydrogen ion
concentration in a fluid
ZCl solution analysers are used

Dissolved Oxygen
Measurement

It is measured in parts per billion

Value less than 7 ppb is desired
The electrodee is of gold
KCl is used as electrolyte

Fuels Used
NTPC Faridabad mainly used two
fuel sources:
Natural Gas
Naptha

Natural Gas

Natural gas is an ideal fuel for use in

GTs. It contains mainly:
Methane (CH4)
Ethane (C2H6)
Nitrogen (N2)
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Sulphur
It provides clean burning, high calorific
value and low sulphur content

Naptha

It is actually the substitute fuel which is

used in the plant when there is storage
of natural gas which has more calorific
value than naptha.
Naphtha is high inflammable and it
makes the highly explosive mixture with
the air. So, it is very dangerous to use
this fuel
High speed diesel is sent through the
pipelines for the removal of any air that
may be present in the pipelines before

Instrumentation

Control

Variables Under Measurement

Temperature
Pressure
Level
Flow
Displacement

Temperature
Monitoring Devices
Two most used temperature monitoring
devices are:
RTD
Thermocouple

Resistence
Temperature Detector
Resistence of the element varies in
proportion to the temperature
Constant current is fed and the with the
varying temperature, voltage in the
circuit varies and the same can be
converted into thermal through curve
fitting equations
PT 100 is mostly used

Thermocouple

Electrically conducting and

thermoelectrically dissimilar material
coupled at an interface is called
thermocouple
Works on Seebeck effect

Pressure Monitoring
Types of pressure
measurement:
Absolute pressure
Gauge pressure
Differential pressure

Commonly Used Devices

Bourdon Tube
C type
Spiral type
Helical type

Diaphragm
Manometer

Flow Measurement
Commonly used
measurement devices:

Differential pressure measurement

Orifice meter
Venturi meter

Variable area flow meter

Rotameter

Displacement Monitoring
Commonly used methods are
:
Capacitive method
Inductive method
