INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE PLANT
KBUNL (Kanti Bijlee Utpadan Nigam Limited) which was formerly known as Vaishali Power Generating Company Ltd(VPGCL) is situated in kanti which is 12 km away from main town muzaffarpur.
It is totally coal fired Thermal power station.
There are two units of each 110MW installed capacity.
RECENT DEVELOPMENT
NTPC has opted for joint venture(jv) with BSEB. The main feature of this jv is as follows:
KANTI BIJLEE UTPADAN NIGAM LIMITED
This jv was incorporated on with Bihar State Electricity Board, a State run Electricity Board in the State of Bihar with NTPC, engaged in generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.
OBJECTIVE:
To take over Muzaffarpur Thermal Power station(2*110MW), a coal based power station at kanti , for carrying our restoration ,R&M and supplying power mainly to state of Bihar.
PROMOTERS’ EQUITY NTPC: 51-74%
BSEB: 49-26%
ABSTRACT
Any thermal power plant is converting the chemical energy of coal into electrical energy. The process involved for this conversion is based upon the modified Rankin cycle. The major components that are used to accomplish the modified Rankin cycle are:
 Boiler feed pump,
 The steam generator water walls (evaporator),
 Steam generator super heaters,
 Steam turbine,
 Reheater,
 Condenser,
 Regenerative feed heaters etc.
All components of a power generating cycle are vital and critical in operation. In Modified Rankin cycle, the two most important aspects that is added are reheating & regenerative heating. By reheating we used to send the steam coming from exhaust of the turbine back to the reheater of the boiler so that its enthalpy increases and more work can be done by this steam the other purpose is to make steam dry so that no harm will be done to the blades of turbine.
In MTPS Kanti, we have three turbines in Tandem coupling namely one H.P Turbine, one I.P Turbine & one L.P Turbine coupled with the generator to which is synchronized with the grid to produce electricity at 50Hz.
In all my modesty, i wish to record here that a sincere attempt has been made for the presentation of this project report. I also trust that this study will not only prove to be of academic interest but also will be able to insight into the area of technical management.
