DESCRIPTION:Introduction\n\nIAS-PES Joint Chapter\, IEEE GCET SB arranged a
 n industrial visit to Wanankbori Thermal Power Station\, Kheda\, Gujarat o
 n 27th September\, 2018 for 7th semester Electrical Engineering students.W
 e were accompanied by Prof. Sameer Patel\, Dr. Hardik Pathak and Prof. Jig
 nesh Patel.\n\nThe visit was scheduled from 06:00 AM to 4:00 PM.\n\nThe vi
 sit was voluntarily supported by IEEE GCET student branch.\n\nWanakbori Th
 ermal Power Station\, Kheda.\n\nThe trip started at 06:00 AM and we were o
 n the way to Wanankbori Thermal Power Station\, Kheda. We reached at 10:30
  AM. We were accompanied by Prof. Sameer Patel\, Dr. Hardik Pathak and Pro
 f. Jignesh Patel.\n\nWanakbori Thermal Power Station is a coal-fired power
  station in Gujarat\, India. It is located on the bank of Mahi river in Kh
 eda district. There are seven units of each 210 MW capacity.\n\nAs soon as
  the we reached the Wanakbori Thermal Power Station we were given general 
 instructions that we need to follow during the visit. Then we were directe
 d towards the Training Department.\n\nWTPS(Wanakbori Thermal Power Station
 ) has 7 units each of 210 MW. So\, the total installed capacity of the pla
 nt is 1470 MW. Following sections of the WTPS are visited.\n\n- Training c
 enter\n- Coal and ash handling plant\n- Boiler section\n- Turbine/Generato
 r floor\n- Electrical control room (Unit No.3)\n- Cooling tower\n- Switch 
 yard (220kV &amp; 400 kV)\n\nAt the training center\, Training Officer explain
 ed the working cycle of thermal power station. We visited various small sc
 ale models of equipment used in the power plant. We collected very importa
 nt practical data like temperature\, pressure\, quantity of coal\, etc. us
 ed for the power generation. We visited the coal and ash handling plant wh
 ere Training Officer guided us. The 210 MW unit consumes 125 ton coal per 
 hour to generate the electricity. So\, bulk amount of coal is transported 
 through railway and with the help of Wagon. Tripler coal is transferred to
  the coal storage area.\n\nIn 2012\, Gujarat State Electricity Corporation
  proposed an additional unit 8 of 800 MW to the power station\, originally
  projected to be commissioned in 2015 to 2016.\n\nThe project received env
 ironmental clearance in December 2013. Construction began in 2014. It is p
 lanned for operation in 2018.\n\nThe control room of power plant is the br
 ain of the entire plant. We visited control room. It is equipped with DCS 
 facility provide by ABB Ltd. All the important data were displayed in real
  time mode like MW\, MVAr\, frequency\, power factor phase current\, etc. 
 on the display screen. There are 7 natural draught cooling towers (NDCT) u
 sed for cooling of circulating water of condenser. Switch yard consists of
  two sections\, 220 kV and 400 kV. The voltage of unit no. 1\, 2 and 3 is 
 stepped up from 15.75 kV to 220 kV and the power is transmitted at 220 kV 
 level. There are 7 outgoing transmission lines at 220 kV voltage level. Th
 e voltage of unit no. 4\, 5\, 6 and 7 is stepped up from 15.75 kV to 400 k
 V and the power is transmitted at 400 kV level. There are 4 outgoing trans
 mission lines at 400 kV voltage level. The visit was very fruitful as we o
 bserved each of energy conversion stages used in power plant starting from
  fuel section to switch yard. We collected very important information like
  practical data which are not available in books and other literature. Man
 y of our doubts are cleared by the discussion with experts of the plant.\n
 \nWe left WTPS at 2:20 PM to reach Vallabh Vidyanagar at 4:00 PM.\n\nAgend
 a: \nThe main agenda was to increase the practical knowledge of students.\
