Operating Regimes

Thermal power plant (TPP) - Bitola is the largest electricity producer in the Republic of Macedonia with installed capacity of 691 MW. It is a lignite fired power plant, in operation since 1982. Most of the installed equipment is of Russian origin. Power plant's cold end comprised of a condenser, pump station and cooling tower is depicted in the article. Possible way to raise the efficiency of the cold end by changing the operating characteristics of the pumps is presented in the article. Diagramic and tabular presentation of the working characteristics of the pumps (two pumps working in paralel for one block) with the pipeline, as well as engaged power for their operation are also presented in this article.

The Cost

The main aim of this work is to check the bio fouling in cooling tower and its effect on power generation. The way to reduce bio fouling is necessary issue within the thermal power station, as it results in reduction of the heat transfer rate and ultimately reduction in the power generation rate of plant. So as to attenuate the energy consumption in process plant equipped with device network. In various branches of chemical industries fouling builds up on heat transfer surfaces is a heat transfer equipment burning extra fuel to compensate for a reduced heat recovery accepting reduction of plant output due to periodic equipment cleaning and recovering the cost of cleaning interventions. Microbiological fouling can cause energy losses and loss of tower efficiency. The pilot plant is very useful in the thermal power plant to test the cooling water and then it is used in the thermal power plant to reduce the losses due to the bio fouling. In large power plant they having pilot plant with PLC system and microprocessor with highly accurate sensors. It will give very accurate and direct digital readings on screen

Cause Of Failure

The study is made and compared with actual situation of the thermal power plant, for the failure in belt of conveyor due to the deviation under load from its axis. Analyze technical characteristics causing the deviation in the belt and the operating characteristics of relevant machinery causing deviation. Based on the research, failure in belt due to deviation during use, analysis the cause of failure, proposed some method to reduce it are summed up.
