Vindhyachal Thermal Power Station

The Vindhyachal thermal power plant is located in the Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh province, India. It is one of NTPC's coal-fired power plants, it is the largest power plant in India and the capacity is 4,760 MW. The coal of the power plant comes from the Nigahi mine and the source of water comes from the drainage channel of the Singrauli super thermal power plant.

The unit of 210 MW was installed with the support of Russia. Since then, extensive renovation and maintenance have been done, including the installation of ABB's Symphony Harmony DCS.

500 MW equipment is manufactured by BHEL. Among them, ABB Procontrol p13 DCS is used for Units 7 and 8, and BHEL Max DNA DCS is used for Units 10 and 10.

The picture below shows the layout of Vindhyachal thermal power plant and coal mines, ie Jayant, Nigahi, Kahdia. By bringing it close to the coal mine, the cost of transporting coal is reduced, making it possible to supply coal regularly and conveniently. These mines are managed by Northern Coal Fields Limited (NCL) and are thrown outdoors. The Vindhyachal super thermal power generation project (VSTPP) is located in the longitude of 240 04 '57.85 "- 240 06' 19. 30" North latitude 820 38 '34.01' '- 820 41' 28 .80 '. Water demand for the project will come from Singrauli STPP cooling water drain channel

The Vindhyachal thermal power plant is located in the Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh province, India. As one of the ICPC coal-fired power plants, this is the largest power plant in India with a capacity of 4,760 MW. Coal from power plant comes from Nigahi mine supplied from the drainage of Singrauli super thermal power plant.

In thermal power plants, mechanical power is usually generated by a heat engine that converts thermal energy from fuel combustion into rotational energy. Since most thermal power plants generate steam, they are sometimes called steam power plants. According to the second law of thermodynamics, not all heat energy can be converted to mechanical energy, so there is always heat loss within the environment. If this loss is used as a useful heat for industrial processes or district heating, the power plant is called a cogeneration power plant or a CHP (cogeneration) power plant. In a country where district heating is common, there is a special thermal power plant called a heat exclusive boiler station. Major type of power plant in the Middle East uses by-product heat for desalination
