Bhushan Energy Ltd |
| |
| Bhushan Energy Limited (BEL) has been promoted by M/s Bhushan Steel Ltd., with the main focus on power Business. |
| |
| The BEL is setting up 300 MW power plant with the estimated capital outlay of Rs. 1018 crores. |
| |
| |
The location of site for the project is as follows: |
| |
 |
| |
| |
| The BEL Project site is located at Meramandali, Dhenkanal district of Orissa, about 18 km from Angul, about 42 km from Dhenkanal, about 100 km North West of Cuttack and 125 km from Bhuvaneshwar. The South Eastern Railway's line connecting Angul and Cuttack railway station and the National Highway NH‑42 are passing on the north of the site. The plant is proposed to be connected from Meramandali railway station, which is at a distance of 4 km from the site. The river Brahmani flows from north-west to south-east on the the northern side of the site at a distance of about 6 km. Paradip port is located at distances of 180 km. |

Process
|
| The process of generation of power from coal (or coal equivalent viz. coal middling and char) (water steam cycle) essentially entails two main stages. In the first stage, the energy stored in coal is converted into heat energy in the coal-fired boilers. In the second stage, the high-pressure steam, which is generated in the boilers, is passed through turbines (conversion of heat energy into mechanical energy) which in turn is coupled to generators (conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy), thereby generating electricity. |
| |
| The water steam cycle essentially contains coal fired steam generator, steam turbine with condenser, feed-water tank, low-pressure (LP) heaters and high-pressure (HP) heaters and the connecting pipelines. The superheated steam produced in the steam generator is supplied to the steam turbine, which drives three-phase AC generator. After leaving the HP turbine, steam is reheated in the steam generator and fed to the Intermediate Pressure (IP) turbine. In the LP turbine steam coming directly from the IP turbine expands to condenser pressure and is condensed in the condenser. Closed cycle water system is used for cooling of the condenser. The condensate collected in the condenser hot well is discharged by the condensate pumps and supplied via the LP condensate heaters into the feed-water tank. The feed-water pumps discharge feed water from the feed-water tank via the HP heaters to the steam generator. |
| |
| The power station has been designed with two power generating units of 1000 MW each, with the auxiliaries and common utility services like plant water system, coal handling system, ash handling plant, and switchyard for power evacuation, plant electrical system and workshop. The main sections of the power generating unit include boiler along with milling system and electrostatic precipitator, coal handling system, turbine generator unit, boiler feed pump, condensate extraction pump, circulating and auxiliary cooling water pumps and the generator transformer with bus duct. The main sections of the utility system are the coal handling system, ash handling system, switchyard and the plant water system. |
