In conducting the project study in an industry, students get exposed and have knowledge of

real situation in the work field and gains experience from them. The object of the summer

The fact that thermal energy is the major source of power generation itself shows the

importance of thermal power generation in India – more than 60 percent of electric power is

produced by steam plant in India.

In steam power plants, the heat of combustion of fossil fuels is utilized by the boilers to raise

steam at high pressure and temperature. The steam so produced is used in driving the steam

turbine coupled to generators and thus in generating ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
