CCPP projects in the world
 HEI WON THE LOWEST BIDDING TARGET FOR
BHIKKI POWER PLANT
 Thus, the EPC was awarded to HEI in 2015
 Owned by Quaid-E-Azam Thermal Private Ltd.
through Govt. of Punjab
 INSTALLED CAPACITY WAS AIMED BETWEEN
1000-1300-MW
 Final gross capacity is 1180-MW
 HEI WAS ALSO AWARDED THE O&M
RESPONSIBILITIES OF BHIKKI CCPP

BLOCK DIAGRAM
Balance of Plant
(BOP)
 BOP includes all the supporting
components and auxiliary system of the
power plant need to deliver the energy
system.
 Main components include:
 Cooling Tower – exchanges heat
from hot water to atmospheric air
 Once-Through System – uses canal
water for plant Auxiliaries and Main
Condenser
 CCCW Heat Exchanger – exchanges heat
from hot fluid to a cold fluid
 Shell & Tube types are most common
 Cold in Tubes and Hot in Shell
 ACW and MCW Pumps
 ACW Pumps are installed for cooling of
CCCW Heat Exchangers
 MCW Pumps are installed for cooling of
Main Condenser
 Air Compressor
 Converts electrical to potential energy in
form of compressed air
 Used for instrumentations
 Gas Booster Station
 Filtration of gas particles & droplets
 Regulates gas pressure at inlet
GE Gas Turbine
– 9HA.01
 Gas Turbine converts heat energy into
mechanical energy, which is used to generate
power
 GT works on Brayton Cycle
 Has a capacity of 400 MW
 Main components include:
 Multistage axial-compressor: Air is
compressed in stages by series of rotor
and stator blades
 DLN 2.6+ Combustion chambers:
Combustion of Fuel and high-pressure
takes place
 Multistage axial-turbine: Flue gas is
expanded in stages by series of stator and
rotor blades
  Exhaust system
 Consists of diffuser which conveys exhaust gases to
HRSG
 Bearings
 One thrust and three journals
 Auxiliaries of GT includes:
 Lubricating System
 Hydraulic Oil System
 Inlet Bleed Heating System
 Gas Fuel and Conditioning Skid
Heat-Recovery
Steam Generator
 HRSG is a waste heat boiler which recovers
the heat from GT’s exhaust flue gases to
generate superheated steam
 Main components include:
 Finned-Tubes bundle (carries water and
steam through HRSG)
 Module (used to describe a bundle of
tubes and casing surrounding it)
 Economizer (used to recover heat from
the boiler flue gases and thereby
increase boiler efficiency)
 Drums and Headers (used to collect
steam or hot water generated and feed
in the HRSG and distribute it within the
boiler drums)
 Evaporator (water changes its phase
from hot water to steam form)
 Superheater (superheats the steam i.e. it
raises the temperature of steam above
the saturation point)
 Reheater (is generally reintroduced into
the IP stage of the steam turbine. These
are employed which recover some of
the heat from the escaping gases)
GE Steam
Turbine
 Steam Turbine is a machine that uses
thermal energy of pressurized steam and
converts it into useful mechanical work that
is then used to rotate a shaft generating
electricity
 Consists of three sections: High Pressure
(HP) turbine, Intermediate Pressure (IP)
turbine and a double flow Low Pressure
(LP) turbine
 Works on Rankine Cycle
 Has a capacity of 380 MW
 Has a shaft rpm of 3000 or 50 Hz
 Auxiliaries of ST includes:
 Gland Sealing System (GSC)
 Sealing System
 Lubricating System
 Hydraulic Oil System
 Turning Gear System
 Boiler Feedwater Pump
• The feedwater pump system is used to supply water to HP and IP
system. The pump suction is from LP drum/Deaerator.
• The water comes from LP drum, the discharge pressure will reach the
required value and send to HP economizer (HP feedwater) while the
water from interstage will go to IP economizer (IP feedwater).
• At discharge of pump (HP feedwater), an automatic recirculation valve
is equipped, which has the non-return function to prevent the
feedwater back to pump if this pump is in standby and control the
recirculation flow.
 Outage Maintenance Work
• Plant maintenance work usually refers to the method, strategies and
practice used to keep an industrial plant running efficiently. This can
include anything from regular checks of an equipment to make sure
they are functioning properly.
• There was one-month fixed for outage work at Bhikki plant during
which all plant was shut down and maintenance work like Preventive
maintenance, corrective maintenance, miscellaneous activities and
modification was performed.
