Captive Power Plant (CPP) Capacity

What is MD?

Sir,

MD stands for Maximum Demand in KVA. Normally in industrial 3 phase trivectormeter or in LTP-3 tariff meter MD is recorded as kick in KVA. And on the 1st of every month the electric utility sets the indicator to Zero.

Your question is unclear. Probably you are telling that you have surplus steam capacity of 5T/hr in steam generator after feeding the two steam turbines. If so, pl check with the turbine supplier regarding uprating the turbines for higher steam flows.

Dear Sir,

In fact two plants are at two different places and can be electrically coupled together.

And on suplus steam output we are planning to install a Captive Power Plant of a suitable Capacity.

CPP will be run on steam turbine and its dynamic enegy will be converted to electrical energy by coupling the Turbine with a suitable size of Alternator, which in turn will be able to manage to cater adequate electricity to both the plants . No energy will be catered to outside electrical grid system as it is bit unmanageable to a small company.

for the capacitive power , i think few of the conditions are suitable when undermining the diff. plants to merge 1 called as SM (Sum Measure) or AG (Average Gauiving).

and what do you mean by Steam... cannot understand your question... Can you please clear it up... waht you are askin ?

Thanks & Regards

Dear Sir,

As desired by you the detailed clarification related to the concept of running both the plants on a steam turbo alternator of a suitable capacity i.e. utilising 5 MT steam as surplus byproduct and with its help to run a turbo generator of a suitable capacity.

More details are as

what is the difference between a captive power plant and a thermal power plant?

Dear Sir,

The difference is as under:

Captive Power Plant (CPP) is particularly designed to cope up with the in house demand and in case of surplus power , the said surplus can be injected into the electrical power grid if the system permits.

While the Thermal Power Plant is designed to generate electricity for the grid system and the entire generation from that plant gets absorbed by the grid which is controlled by Load Despatch Centre.

In fact CPP can also be a steam based turbo generator i.e. say a thermal power plant whose power generation depends upon the system load of the in house plant.

Thus CPP can be steam based , oil based or gas based turbo alternator.

Hi,

bro...

i think that you have do your Engineering again to find out this question :P

man i will sujjest that you have to get some study by book and then you have to answer the questions...

I think that you dont mind about ma words ...

Thanks

Dear Sir,

I always appreciate if some body brings to my notice my set backs or my limitations. As it helps me to improve myself or in this case to up date myself.

Candidly one wants solutions , if you have please give the same to the interested one.

Steam pressure and temp data are required for fixing turbine capacity and cost

5T of steam may generate only about another 600-800KW.

As previous post said is it not possible to uprate youe existing plants and utilise the steam?

Dear Sir,

Thanks for the candid feed back to my querries.

At least the existing plant can reduce the expenditure on the electricity consumption to that extent by utilising the surplus steam to run a CPP.

Existing plants are running smoothly and uprating of the said plants have not been envisaged at this stage.

uprating does not mean replacement necessarily ! By proper simple adjustment of various items such as governor valve, generator winding etc turbine can be uprated.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your candid suggestions on plant uprating.

i would like to sugest you to go for CDM benifits while implementing the CCP project. It would be an added advantage.
