INDIAN CONTEXT OF ENERGY
 Economic growth in India, being dependent on the power sector, has
necessitated an enormous growth in electricity demand over the last
two decades.
 In 1947, the total power generation capacity was only 1360 MW,
and by 1991 it grew to 65,000 MW, of which 69% (45,000 MW)
was generated in thermal plants.
 The Hydro developments, as stated are not so environmentally
benign as was earlier believed.
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
INDIAN CONTEXT OF ENERGY
 They can cause conflict over usage of lands and the damage to ecology.
The total Indian hydro-potential, as assessed by the Central Electricity
Authority, is 84,000 MW. The installed capacity is 18,443 MW (March,
1991) compared to 200 KW in 1897 (Darjeeling) and 508 MW at the
time of independence
 Most of the turbomachinery have been indigenously produced by the
Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., the largest unit being 165 MW.
However, the pace of hydro development has considerably slowed
down recently for many reasons. Tentatively, in the order of 26,000
MW of hydro capacity would be added by 2002 during the 9five-year
plan, as envisaged.
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
INDIAN CONTEXT OF ENERGY
 Nuclear power promotion has all but ceased in many areas of the
world as a consequence of growing public concern regarding safety
and regulatory hurdles. Nonetheless, in India, there appears to be a
comparatively energetic nuclear programme .
 Presently, in India, about 2.3% of generating capacity is nuclear
based. This corresponds to about 1500 MW of the installed capacity
comprising 8 units.
 An additional 1320 MW is under construction, based on 220 MW
units, and should be on line by 1997.
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
INDIAN CONTEXT OF ENERGY
 According to the development plan, the total installed capacity by
2002 will be 5700 MW, including the first Indian 500 MW PHWR
unit in Rajasthan.
 It is anticipated that following on the tail of the natural uranium
fuelled reactor programme, a fast breeder programme using
plutonium will be established, followed by a thorium based
programme, thereby taking advantage of a large indigenous resource
of thorium.

RANKINE CYCLE
 Rankine cycle is the theoretical cycle on which the steam
turbine works. The line diagram of the plant working on the
cycle is shown in fig. The Rankine cycle has the following
processes.
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
RANKINE CYCLE
Processes:
1 -2  Reversible adiabatic expansion in the
turbine.
2-3  Constant pressure heat transfer in the
condenser.
3- 4 Reversible adiabatic pumping process
in the feed pump.
4-1  Constant pressure heat transfer in the
boiler.
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
RANKINE CYCLE
 To analyze the cycle we take 1 kg of fluid and applying steady
flow energy equation to boiler, turbine, condenser and pump:
1. Boiler (as constant volume)
h1 = Q1+hf4
Q1 = h1 – hf4
Where Q1= Heat supplied in boiler.
2. For turbine (as constant volume)
h1 = WT + h2
WT = h1 - h2
Where, WT = Turbine work
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
RANKINE CYCLE
3. For condenser
h2 = Q2 + hf3
Q2 = h2 – hf3
Where, Q2 = Heat rejection in condenser
4. For pump
Hf3 + Wp = hf4
Wp = hf4 – hf3
Wp = V3 (p1 – p2)
Where, Wp = Pump work, and
V in m3/kg
P in bar
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Reheating of steam
Types of reheating:
Flue gas reheating
Live steam reheating
Combined flue gas and live steam reheating
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Flue gas reheating:
In this, the flue gas out from the boiler is used to heat the
steam. The reheater is always placed behind the high-pressure super –
heater. The steam can be reheated to initial throttle temperature and
reheating normally employs the counter flow heat exchanger.
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Live-steam reheating
In this process, the high-pressure steam from the boiler is used
for reheating the steam coming out from H.P. turbine in a specially
designed heat exchanger.
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Combined gas and live steam reheater:
 In the combined heating system, the disadvantage that the
steam cannot be reheated to its initial throttle temperature and the
live steam reheating is eliminated.
 The steam coming out from the H.P. turbine is first passed
through the live steam reheater and then to gas reheater. It is clearly
shown in the fig.
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Rankine cycle with reheating
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Regenerative Cycle:
 In the Rankine cycle, it is observed that the condensate which is
coming out has very low temperature and it mixes with hot water
boiler. This results in decrease of cycle efficiency.
 To avoid this, the condensate coming out is heated with the
help of steam in a reversible manner. The temperature of steam and
water is same at any section. This type of heating is known as
regenerative heating.
 Fig. shows a layout of a condensing steam power plant in
which a surface condenser is used to condense all the steam that is
not extracted for feed water heating. The boiler is equipped with a
super heater and turbine is double extracting type.
 The conditions of steam bled for each heater are so selected that the
temperature of saturated steam will be 4 to 10˚C higher than the
final condensate temperature.
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Rankine cycle with regeneration
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Efficiency of system
Work done by the turbine
Work required for pump
Heat addition
 Heat rejection
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Advantages and Disadvantage of
regenerative cycle
 Advantages of regenerative cycle:
1.The thermal stresses set up in the boiler are minimized.
2.The heating process in the boiler tends to become reversible.
3.Heat rate is reduced.
4.A small size condenser is required.
 Disadvantages:
1.Due to addition of heaters, greater maintenance is required.
2.The plant becomes more complicated.
3.Large capacity boiler is required
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Combined Reheat-Regenerative Cycle
 Reheat-Regenerative cycle is used in actual thermal power
plant with high steam pressure to increase the overall efficiency of
the cycle. The figure is shown the Reheat-Regenerative cycle.
 The thermal efficiency of the reheat-regenerative cycle is
higher than only reheat or only regenerative cycle.
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Combined Reheat-Regenerative Cycle
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Binary vapour power cycle
 It is one type of combined cycles in which usually two working fluids
mercury and water are used to improve the overall thermal efficiency
of the power plant.
For getting the best performance of vapour power cycle, the working
fluid should have the following characteristics.
 1. High enthalpy of vaporization.2.Good heat transfer
characteristics.
 3. High critical temperature with a low corresponding saturation
temperature.
 4. High condenser temperature.
 5. Freezing temperature should be below room temperature

T-S of combined cycle
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Topping cycle
The topping cycle really is the only economic cycle of the two. The main heat
source generates high-enthalpy steam and electricity. Low-enthalpy steam is
taken from an intermediate turbine stage or the turbine exhaust for process
requirements. If the steam is taken from the turbine exhaust, this is called a
back pressure turbine.
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
Bottoming Cycle
In a bottoming cycle, the primary fuel produces high temperature
thermal energy and the heat rejected from the process is used to
generate power through a recovery boiler and a turbine generator
PROF R.THIRUMAVALAVAN, Professor & Head
BOILERS
Steam boiler or simply a boiler is basically a closed vessel into which
water is heated until the water is converted into steam at required
pressure. This is most basic definition of boiler. Types of Boiler
 There are mainly two types of boiler – water tube boiler and fire
tube boiler.
 In fire tube boiler, there are numbers of tubes through which hot
gases are passed and water surrounds these tubes.
 Water tube boiler is reverse of the fire tube boiler. In water tube
boiler the water is heated inside tubes and hot gasses surround these
tubes.

are installed to increase the efficiency of the boiler plants or help in proper working
of the boiler unit. These components are known as boiler accessories. A modern
boiler has the following accessories attached to it.
