Indraprastha Power Generation Co Ltd (IPGCL) and Pragati Power Corporation Ltd (PPCL) were formed in 2002 when the Delhi Vidyut Board was unbundled. IPGCL and PPCL own and operate various power plants in Delhi including gas turbine plants such as GTPS and combined cycle plants such as Pragati-I. The document provides an overview of the different power plants, their specifications and components such as gas turbines, steam turbines, generators and switchyards.

3. Why was the DVB dissolved?
â˘In December 1998 when the then government came to power in
Delhi
regular Delhi Vidyut
T & D losses board
power cuts accumulating
as high as for 10 to 15 liabilities of over
50% hours Rs.23000 crores
⢠A fast and viable alternative was required
⢠Delhi Electricity Board Regulatory Commission (DERC) was constituted
in May 1999 to look into the matter.
⢠The Government of India on July 1, 2002, implemented the reforms

6. Steam turbines: Schematic
A steam turbine is a mechanical device that extracts thermal energy from
pressurized steam, and converts it into rotary motion.
7. Steam turbines: Operation- Rankine cycle
⢠Water is heated in feed heaters
(A to B) using steam extracted from
the turbine.
⢠Within the boiler itself, heat is
used to further pre-warm the
water (in the economiser)
before it enters the evaporative
stages (C) where it boils.
⢠At D superheat is added until the
conditions at E are reached at the
turbine inlet.
⢠The steam expands in the turbine
to the conditions at point F, after
which it is condensed and returned
to the feed heater.
8. Gas turbines
A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a rotary engine that extracts energy
from a flow of combustion gas.
⢠The Brayton cycle was used for the GTâs in the combined cycle plants
⢠Energy is added to the gas stream in the combustor, where air is mixed with fuel
and ignited
⢠Combustion increases the temperature, velocity and volume of the gas flow
⢠This is directed through a nozzle over the turbine's blades, spinning the turbine
and powering the compressor
Idealized Brayton Cycle
10. Pragati-III Combined Cycle Gas
Power Project, Bawana
⢠The power plant at Bawana has a
maximum capacity of 1500 MW.
⢠It was set up to meet the power
requirements of Delhi, especially
with an eye on the CWG 2010.
⢠Foundation Stone of 1500
MW, Pragati-III Power Project at
Bawana laid by HONABLE PRIME
MINISTER, SH.MANMOHAN SINGH
ON 24-MARCH-2008.
11. Principle of Operation:
⢠Plant turbines work on the principle of a Combined Cycle
⢠Integrates two power conversion cycles - Brayton Cycle (Gas Turbines) -
Rankine Cycle (Conventional steam power plant)
⢠Aimed at increasing efficiency.
⢠The principle - the exhaust of one heat engine (Gas Turbine) is used as the
heat source for another (Steam turbine) - extracting more useful energy
from the heat, increasing the system's overall efficiency.
⢠The Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant can achieve a thermal
efficiency of around 60%, in contrast to a single cycle steam power plant
which is limited to efficiencies of around 35-42%.

The Isolated Phase Bus is made of high
grade aluminium for the Isolated Phase
Bus enclosure and the Isolated Phase
Bus conductor.
15. IPB(Isolated Phase Bus Duct)
Conductors are usually wither extruded or
rolled hollow aluminium tubes, supported
within the enclosure on porcelain or
polymer insulators.
18. Excitation systems for Gas Turbine
Generators
⢠Creating and strengthening the
magnetic field of the generator by
passing DC through the field winding
is known as excitation.
⢠The Equipment for supply, control

⢠In 1990, the Gas turbines were converted to operate on natural gas.
⢠Later due to growing power demand the station was converted into
combined cycle gas turbine power station by commissioning 3 *34
MW Waste Heat Recovery units, in 1995-96.
⢠The total capacity of this station is 282 MW
⢠GTPS gets the gas, which is the most essential ingredient for
producing electricity by the help of turbines, from GAIL HBJ
