INTRODUCTION
In India there is a very long chain of thermal power project including the project in UP. Some of the power projects under Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd. (UPRVUNL) are as follows:
Panki Thermal Power Station:
With the industrial development of Kanpur, a thermal power station was established at the banks of river Ganga, in the year 1923, which was known as “Riverside Power House” (RPH). In the year 1947, RPH was taken over by the Government of UP under the name of “Kanpur Electricity Supply Administration” (KESA). In 1962, RPH reached its maximum capacity of 100 MW leaving no scope of future development. Government of India approved setting up of power station having capacity of 64 MW (2x32 MW). The new plant was inaugurated on 17 Sep 1968 by the Prime Minister, Smt. Indira Gandhi.
In the year 1976, two units of 110 MW each were installed to meet the increasing power demand. These units were inaugurated on 30 Jun 1976, by the Chief Minister of UP, Mr. N.D.Tiwari.
At present 2x32 MW units are not operating due to not having the suitable Pollution control machinery. The Central government has commissioned a 210 MW unit at Panki Power Station.
At PTPS, 2x110 MW BHEL made coal fired turbo generating units are presently in operation. These 110 MW machines were manufactured, supplied and commissioned by M/s BHEL, during 1976-77 with features of reheating and regenerative feed heating. The Steam Generator is balanced draft, radiant, dry bottom, single drum, natural circulation, vertical water tube type construction with skin casing and semi direct type of firing system. Apart from the above 110 MW units, 2x32 MW Russia made turbo generating units were also installed at PTPS in 1967-68, however these units have become obsolete and permanently closed now after running for about 30 years.
Location:
PTPS is located in the West Kanpur in between Kalpi Road & the famous Grand Trunk Road and is 16 km distant from the Kanpur Central Railway Station. It is situated on the banks of lower Ganga canal and is connected with the Panki railway station for the easy transportation of coal.
