Thermal Power Plant (TPP) is one of those discoveries that have changed the daily life of everybody and playing vital role in the present real world. The selection of site for thermal power plant, affects the amount of energy generated, power generation cost, economical development, environment and transmission (loss of power). In present work, fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (FMCDM) approach is proposed for site selection of TPP under partial or incomplete information. The proposed approach initially identified the criteria for site selection of TPP. Then the experts are provided linguistic ratings as well as weights to the potential alternatives against the selected criteria. Fuzzy-TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) is applied to generate aggregate scores selection of best alternative. Finally a case empirical research is adapted to fruitful the proposed approach.

We present a summary of the principal findings in an ongoing, multiyear, survey of the solar radiation resource and associated meteorological parameters in Israel’s Negev Desert. The summary addresses calibration and monitoring issues, the format in which the annual results are published, availability of the data, and some of the more interesting results observed to date. In particular, we quantify the large variability observed in the direct beam radiation across neighboring sites. The year-to-year variation in this radiation component is also considerable. The variation in the global horizontal radiation is much smaller. Two practical examples are given of uses to which the Negev Radiation Survey has been put: Site selection for a proposed 500 MW solar-thermal power plant; and an estimation of the potential photovoltaic value of rooftops in the major cities.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework of fly ash (FA) handling by using the total interpretive structural modeling (TISM) technique in the Indian context. Design/methodology/approach The conceptual framework of the FA handling technique has been developed by using the TISM technique, where the FA handling factors have been identified from literature and verified by experts. Findings The conceptual framework of FA handling technique developed by using TISM contributes to the development of FA handling hierarchy. The framework identifies that there are 12 important factors which play a vital role in FA handling. The conceptual model indicates that particle size distribution derives FA handling technology. Research limitations/implications This study identified important factors for FA handling and it has implication for both organizations and policy makers. This study delivers the factors which play an important role in handling FA in a thermal power plant. This study highlights important linkages essential for the expansion of FA handling technologies and policies. Originality/value This study is unique in itself as it studies the FA handling factors through the qualitative modeling technique and has made its contribution in FA handling by providing the conceptual framework for managing FA in the thermal power plant.

The present paper deals with Load flow and stability analysis of thermal power plant. In the thermal power plant switchyards plays vital role in various control, security and monitoring features that enable robust routing of power from generators to loads through a complex network of transmission lines. Analysis of such switchyard is the key and most important task for planning of the Generation plant. In the past there have been many widespread blackouts in interconnected power systems, so it is essential to assure that power system must operate more stablely and reliably. In this present discussion, the adopted system of 500MW Thermal power plant comprises a generator bus connected to 6 load buses and 1 utility bus interconnected with 400kV transmission lines. Power flow studies and fault analysis are simulated in Power World simulator environment. These studies include the operating points when faults occurred in the system for the system reliability, line outages and its impact on other transmission lines such as incoming or outgoing lines and also on bus sections. Prior to planning and construction of substation, these studies help to calculate indices that reflect the reliability performance of the system. These analyses give the detail overview for future growth of power generation and subsequent extension of switchyard.

Selection Of

In India, most of the thermal power plants were built by National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Ltd and different state electricity boards. The thumb rule indicates that out of the total project construction cost, 70 per cent goes to the cost of project materials, while 30 per cent goes to the cost construction work which leads us to select the most competitive material suppliers and construction contractors. The objectives of this research work are (a) to select a contractor based on cost economy, (b) to find out the standard critical path for constructing a thermal power plant, and (c) to identify the critical activities in constructing a 500 MW thermal power plant. Through literature review, six important factors were identified to judge the quality of the contractor before awarding the contract. In project management, the selection of contractor on the basis of probability of their performance comes within the purview of decision under risk, and hence decision tree has been used as a methodology for the selection of contractor. For computing the critical path, the project network for the construction of the thermal power plant was constructed. The five thermal power projects of NTPC—NTPC Korba, NTPC Talcher, NTPC Rihand, NTPC Sipat, and NTPC Simhadri—were considered, and the construction data of these five projects were used to compute the critical path. Since the completion data of different activities of five projects at different geographical locations with different climates, different site conditions, and different conglomerate of workers were used, so the critical path estimated was accepted as the standard critical path.
