We were able to accommodat e 35 students every day for the factory tour\, for a total of 70 students. Seventy students were able to comprehend a practical understanding of pow er plants and real-life events and circumstances inside a power plant via hands-on experience. The visit began with the senior vice president of Ori on Power Plant\, Mr. Shamim Reza\, introducing the kids to the power plant 's operations as they had breakfast. In addition\, he presented the fundam entals of various subjects\, allowing pupils to memorize several electrica l engineering ideas that were crucial for the plant tour. Thanks to Mr. Sh amim Reza\, we were able to explore a number of ideas that students were a ble to link to the systems and activities occurring within a power plant. It is often difficult for students to recollect every concept they have st udied in four years of electrical engineering.\n\nUpon touring the power p lant\, the visitors learned about the other Orion group power plants. The Dutch Bangla Power Plant (100MW) was constructed in 2011. In contrast\, Or ion has erected an increasing number of power plants during the previous d ecade. Orion Power Plant Meghnaghat (100 MW) was also constructed in 2011\ , Orion Power Plant Rupsha (104 MW) was installed in 2014\, and Orion Powe r Plant Sonargaon (105 MW) was installed in 2020. These power stations are situated in Narayanganj in their entirety.\n\nInitially\, the visitors to ured the gathering area\, which is vital in the event of an emergency. Peo ple have a tendency to panic during crises\, and the best method to handle problems at a power plant is to remain on the ground. In the event of an emergency\, the number of individuals who report to the assembly area will indicate whether or not there is anybody trapped within the power plant. Then\, Mr. Shamim Reza's presentation followed. We addressed the various k inds of power plants now in operation in Bangladesh\, as well as the possi bilities of nuclear power plants in Bangladesh. The particular power plant we saw was a 100MW HFO facility. We also discussed Orion Group's future a mbitions to establish a 100MW solar power facility in Khulna\, which\, com pared to conventional power plants\, would need an enormous amount of area .\n\nThe audience then toured the main engine room where Wärtsilä engine s were manufactured. Twenty engines of type 20v32\, each generating 8.9MW\ , produced a total of 100MW when all were operating. On these two days\, j ust a portion of the engines was operating\; hence\, the engine noise and heat were manageable. Then we entered the room containing the switchgear u nder close observation. In the switchgear room\, we were escorted by three engineers\, and each engineer had 10 to 12 pupils in their charge. Thus\, it was simpler for the students to concentrate than if they had all focus ed on a single engineer. We were also fortunate to have agreed with the Or ion group to keep an alternator open so that students and participants cou ld learn the fundamentals and mechanics of an alternator while seeing one in person.\n\nAfter a brief explanation of how alternators operate\, we we re shown the fuel storage tanks and how HFO is supplied to these power pla nts. A ship carrying 35\,000 metric tons transports heavy fuel oil from Si ngapore to Bangladesh\, where it is subsequently stored in fuel reservoirs . Then\, we toured the laboratory\, where various tests are performed on t he fuel to determine its condition\, the spare parts warehouse\, and the c ontrol systems room\, where the whole power plant's activities are monitor ed and controlled. What happens when there is a power outage at a power pl ant was one of the funny queries that every student posed. Mr. Shamim Reza provided a pretty straightforward response when he noted that there is al ways a backup generator in the event of a power outage\; the backup genera tor is utilized to keep the power plant working smoothly until the energy is restored. Immediately afterward\, the students proceeded to the transfo rmer location.\n\nIt was also extremely gracious of Orion Group to offer b reakfast and lunch for the students\, faculties\, and attendees. They took time out of their hectic schedule in order to facilitate this industrial tour. Since it was unusual from their regular routines and we were able to get so much information that we normally do not from textbooks\, the stud ents relished the experience immensely.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Dutch-Bangla P ower Plant\, Bangladesh\n\nDatch Bangla Power Plant\, Siddhirganj\, Dhaka\ , Bangladesh LOCATION:Datch Bangla Power Plant\, Siddhirganj\, Dhaka\, Bangladesh ORGANIZER:abrar.faiyaz1998@gmail.com SEQUENCE:2 SUMMARY:Dutch-Bangla (Orion) Power Plant Visit URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/344156 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-weight: 400\;">On August 6 and 13\, the IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES) Brac University Studen t Branch Chapter organized an industrial tour of the Dutch-Bamgla (Orion) Power Plant in Siddhirganj.
