EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Power Crisis has been a long clamor in India and this seems to persist for
thecoming decade or so. Beyond optimistic illusions, ground realities are toofierce
to be accepted.Seeds of improvement are however being planted at all possible
arenasbroadly Indicating: -
Generation
Transmission
Distribution
The Project Idea springs from one of the reforms Viz. generation of Power.To cater
the accelerated need of the country Ultra Mega Power Plants (UMPPs) have been
proposed. These are giant power plants of 4000 MW at one place. In addition to
these, a number of Mega Power Projects (More than 1000 MW) are also being
promoted. The unit size of power plants has also experienced a supercritical shift
in technology. Thus focus is on more efficient supercritical units of 660 MW and
800 MW. However considering imported coals as the main fuel, unit size can go
up to 1000 MW. As the domestic coalavailable for power sector is having very
high (40 to 45%) ash contentfeasibility of higher size units are yet to be examined.
Meanwhile after500MW / 600 MW (subcritical) the next suitable supercritical size
wasdecided 660 MW or 800 MW for coal based thermal power plants.

1. INTRODUCTION
a. A project is any related group of work activities which, when completed,
will achieve specific objectives. A project has a stated scope, deliverables,
tasks, work steps, duration and budget, as defined in a Project Charter.
b. This Project is relevant to all related groups of work activities that have a
business objective, whether the solution involves in providing
Information, Technology and communicational inputs.
A project:
a) Has a beginning and an end;
b) Is defined by specific objectives (deliverables);
c) Is undertaken within a well-defined organizational structure;
d) Has a single project manager who is responsible for its success;
e) Has a defined starting point, a defined end point, and defined work
breakdown structure comprising a path from the start to the end.
c. To be successful, a project must move forward in a controlled manner,
from initiation to completion. A project uses resources. These include
work effort of the project team, including significant stakeholders not
assigned directly to the team, infrastructure support, project
administration, money for project related travel and training, etc.
Resources must be used effectively or the project will be late, or over
budget, or both.
d. Project milestones, comprised of specific deliverables, are developed to
show tangible results of work done and to provide substance for quality
assurance reviews. Quality Assurance (QA) reviews are essential, to
identify issues at the earliest possible stage, to enable them to be
addressed so that the overall project objectives, delivery date and budget
5
are not adversely impacted.
e. Risks are inherent in all projects. A risk management plan is an essential
element of any project charter.Any and all foreseeable risks must be
documented and relevant mitigation strategy devised.
f. Project Management is the process by which a project is initiated,
controlled, and brought to a successful implementation.The objective of
project management is to plan and control a project from start to end,
with high levels of productivity and quality. A project must be managed
in terms of its structure, work performed by staff assigned to it, specific
deliverables and budget constraints. Levels of control and monitoring will
vary depending on the timeframe and criticality of the project at hand.
g. As the gear of technology is experiencing a critical shift in power sector,
India is keen to welcome the Supercritical technology. The first stage of
capacity shift is seen to be 660 MW which is being adopted by NTPC and
other private sector players for several upcoming projects. The
assignment covers supply of complete main plant with BOP package on
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) basis. EPC work can
exclude civil works, coal handling system, ash handling system, external
raw water system and water intake system depending upon the projects.
1.1.Overview of the power plant
With the world on a development spree, there is shortage of power in most
places whilst the demand seems to be in a never ending upward spiral. There
are several answers to this challenge such as the nuclear power plants, but
the conventional thermal power plants also play an equally important role in
this power equation. Selecting a proper site for a thermal power plant is vital
for its long term efficiency and a lot many factors come into play when
6
deciding where to install the plant. Of course it may not be possible to get
everything which is desirable at a single place but still the location should
contain an optimum mix of the requirements for the settings to be feasible
for long term economic justification of the plant. Old is gold goes the
equally old and wise saying and this is applicable to the black diamond as
well, in the perspective of thermal power plants. Well if you are confused let
me tell you that I am referring to coal which is one of the oldest used fuels in
the world. Though technology has gone skywards in the previous couple of
centuries, yet this source continues to occupy an important position in the
energy production scenario worldwide.
1.2.General Layout of the Plant
There are four main circuits in any thermal power plant and these are
a. Coal & Ash Circuit – this circuit deals mainly with feeding the boiler with coal
for combustion purposes and taking care of the ash that is generated during the
combustion process and includes equipment and paraphernalia that is used to
handle the transfer and storage of coal and ash.
b. Air & Gas Circuit – we know that air is one of the main components of the fire
triangle and hence necessary for combustion. Since lots of coal is burnt inside
the boiler it needs a sufficient quantity of air which is supplied using either
forced draught or induced draught fans. The exhaust gases from the combustion
are in turn used to heat the ingoing air through a heat exchanger before being let
off in the atmosphere. The equipment which handles all these processes fall
under this circuit.
c. Feed Water & Steam Circuit – this section deals with supplying of steam
generated from the boiler to the turbines and to handle the outgoing steam from
7
the turbine by cooling it to form water in the condenser so that it can be reused
in the boiler plus making good any losses due to evaporation etc.
d. Cooling Water Circuit – this part of the thermal power plant deals with handling
of the cooling water required in the system. Since the amount of water required
to cool the outgoing steam from the boiler is substantial, it is either taken from a
nearby water source such as a river, or it is done through evaporation if the
quantity of cooling water available is limited.
1.3.The Requirements for the Site
a. As the name implies the power plant is meant for generating power which
obviously means that it will consume huge quantities of fuel. The exact quantity
would depend on the size of the plant and its capacity but it is a general fact that
ample quantities of fuel must be available either in the vicinity or it should be
reasonably economical to transport the fuel till the power plant. Since most
thermal power plants use coal (they can use other fuels as well) it must be
ensured that sufficient coal is available round the clock. Just to give you a rough
idea a power plant with 1000 MW capacity approximately would require more
than ten thousand tons of coal per day hence the necessity for continuous supply
and storage capability of coal in the power station.
b. Ash if the main byproduct of combustion and since the amount of coal used is
huge, you can intuitively imagine the amount of ash generated and it is certainly
in the region of thousand tons per day. Ash is much more difficult to handle as
compared to coal since it comes out hot from the boiler and is very corrosive in
nature. Disposing of such huge quantities of ash requires a large amount of
empty space where it can be safely dumped.
c. There must be ample space for the storage of coal, disposal of ash, building of
the power plant, residential colony of workers, markets and so forth. An
8
approximate analysis suggests that for every MW of power generated there
must be at least 3 acres of land available for the purpose. Hence the power plant
site needs to have good amount of land and this land should have good bearing
capacity in order to survive the static and dynamic loads during the operation of
the plant.
d. Large amount of water is required for cooling purposes in the power plant
hence it is better if such a source is available nearby in the form of rivers etc.
e. Apart from these major requirements there are also other requirements which
are equally important such as the availability of skilled people to work for the
plant and good transport facilities in the vicinity.
Hence we see that setting up a thermal power plant requires a lot of factors to be
considered simultaneously.
1.4.The Functioning of the Plant
The four circuits of the thermal power plant make a complete picture when put
together helping to generate electricity out of fuels such as coal which is the most
widely used fuel. The calorific value of coals depends on the quality of the coal
and the place from where it is mined.
Let us perform a simple calculation regarding the amount of coal required in a
power plant.
Let us assume an imaginary thermal power plant which has a capacity of 1000
MW and try to find the amount of coal required for its consumption. Also assume
that the boiler operates at an efficiency of 75% and the heat supplied per kg of
steam is around 500 kcal per kg and that the amount of steam required per kWh is
9
nearly 5 kgs. Further let us assume that the type of coal used in the plant has a
calorific value of 5000 kcal/kg
Then the quantity of coal required per hour would be given by
Weight of Coal Required ==>Capacity * Steam Requirement * Heat
Delivered/Calorific Value of Coal * Efficiency of Boiler
==> {1000 * 1000 * 5 * 500}/{5000 * 0.75 * 1000} = 666 tons/hr
Normally it is a practice to store coal for up to one month usage in case the power
plant is situated at a sufficient geographical distance from the coal source so that in
case of any disruption of the transportation system, the region is not immediately
affected. You can calculate that in case the above plant requires such a facility, we
would require space to store and handle nearly 480, 000 tons of coal.
Coming back to the actual operation this coal is then fed to the combustion
chamber of the boiler where steam is generated giving rise to hot exhaust gases and
ash which are handled by their respective circuits. The steam turbine is driven by
the steam which converts this thermal energy into the mechanical energy and is
coupled with an electric generator to convert it to electrical energy.
The electricity generated through the generator coupled to the turbine is then fed to
the main grid via a system of transformers and other electrical equipment and is
usually taken to far off places via high voltage transmission lines before it is
actually supplied in the domestic or industrial sectors at their respective voltage
levels.
Hence we see that how the energy hidden within the ordinary coal is harnessed
through the use of a thermal power plant to light our homes and industries.
10
1.5.Coal – Use in Electricity Generation
a. In the earlier days coal might have been used for providing heat for making
food or in the blacksmiths furnace but as technology made strides, so did the
level and importance of coal in the energy production arena went upwards.
Currently thermal power plants produce hundreds of megawatts of electricity
from burning coal.
b. Despite the hue and cry of environmental concerns, which are of course true
to a certain extent, various other parameters have still kept coal as one of the
most important sources of power generation in thermal power plants.
c. The very first parameter is the ample abundance of coal in most parts of the
world including the United States. Estimates suggest that the US has
reserves of coal which could last more than two centuries even at the current
rate of consumption. Apart from the reserves found on land there is also
presence of coal layers beneath the sea although it is difficult to
commercially extract it from there, but there might be a technology for this
in the future.
d. The next factor is directly related to the above factor and is that of cost. As
you know cost is closely associated with availability and more abundant any
commodity is, the lesser will be its price and vice versa which is a law of
economics. Hence producing electricity through the use of coal is much
cheaper than other non-conventional forms of energy such as say wind,
nuclear and so forth.
1.6.Disadvantages of Coal
a. Of course all is not green in the literal sense in the use of coal in power
plants. Environment and health hazards are one of the most prominent
11
reasons why many groups are against the use of coal for power production.
Disposal of large quantities of ash could pose problems in the coming years
if the heaps continue to grow.
b. Another major factor to be kept in mind is that despite the abundant supply
of coal it is still a non renewable source of energy which was formed
through a complex process lasting thousands of years and hence cannot be
formulated at a short notice.
Despite the disadvantages, coal is still very popular in its use as power plant fuel
and continues to provide electricity to this power hungry planet.
1.7.Proximate Analysis of Coal
Any substance can be analyzed in different ways such as proximate analysis,
chemical analysis and so forth. We will carry out the proximate analysis of coal
which gives the different categories of compound present in the substance. Apart
from carbon which is an obvious constituent the other constituents are as follows.
A. Ash – this is an undesirable constituent of coal which is contained within
the coal in two forms namely fixed ash and free ash. Fixed ash is inherent in
the coal due to the formation process from vegetable matter and it is not
possible to remove it except that it gets separated on burning. The free ash is
removable via processes such as washing and screening.
It is undesirable to have ash in the coal but normally different types of coal could
have ash content anywhere between say around 2% to 30% which is an
unnecessary burden adding to transportation costs, lowering of heat value of coal
and producing large amounts of corrosive waste which needs to be disposed off in
a proper manner. Another disadvantage is that inside the boiler combustion
12
chamber if the ash gets subject to very high temperatures it can form clinkers
which could choke the passages and decrease efficiency of the boiler. It is best to
use such coal in the powdered form if such a possibility exists.
B. Hydrocarbons & Gases – coal contains a variety of combustible gases
such as hydrogen, methane and non-combustible gases such as carbon
dioxide etc. This volatile content could be as low as 3% or even as high as
nearly 50%. These constituents especially the non-combustible gases are just
a waste as far as heat value of the fuel is concerned and an unnecessary
burden which needs to be transported around and stored without any useful
value in return.
C. Moisture – the moisture content of coal could vary from just over 1% to
nearly 30-40% and just like ash it has two forms – inherent moisture and
free moisture. The former is not easily removable as it is a costly process
whilst the latter can be removed by normal drying using slightly heated air.
Obviously since coal is used in the boiler combustion chamber any excess
moisture would interfere with the combustion lowering the actual heat
available to generate steam.

3. PROJECT COORDINATION
Project coordination stages usually include creating an overall goal, planning
essential tasks, plus executing and controlling the project. Develop a SWOT
(strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) or STEP (social, technological,
economic, and political) analysis throughout different stages to evaluate project
progress.
Coordination is essential for a business that deals with two or more related
projects. Projects vary based on business objectives but may include launching a
new product or expanding services into new areas.
A project coordinator often holds different roles and responsibilities, depending on
the industry, business size, and project goal. For example, corporations might
designate separate project coordinators to handle domestic and international
affairs; whereas, small businesses might weave basic project coordination duties
into a management role.
Project coordinators can serve as decision makers or assistantsto lead managers.
It is very important at all levels Viz. Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and
Start Up.
Important aspects of project management are as follows:-
A. PLANNING & SCHEDULING
1. Project planning has the following objectives and deliverables:
a. Confirm all previous assumptions regarding skills required, number of
project staff, effort and duration, etc.
b. Confirm specific skill requirements, confirm that those resources are
available (in-house or by external contract resources), identify the
individuals who will be assigned according to the skill requirements for
26
various tasks and sub-projects
c. Document work breakdown structure, including specific tasks, milestones
and deliverables
d. Refine estimates of task efforts
e. Determine task dependencies
f. Determine external dependencies
g. Determine interface and interaction dependencies
h. Determine milestones that will represent quality assurance checkpoints and
their completion dates
i. Schedule the work plan, inclusive of constraints
j. Prepare and review the project plan
k. Submit the initial project plan for approval by the relevant executive
sponsor, project sponsor and steering committee
2. Project planning is an iterative and ongoing process. However, the initial
project plan must be approved and signed-off before the project
commences. At this point, the project plan is to be base lined, to ensure that
any and all variances from that plan are tracked and recorded.Detailed plans
must be revised as necessary throughout the life of the project.
3. When planning a project, the project manager must confirm and build on the
business case developed during the project initiation phase to prepare an
appropriately detailed project charter. The project manager is responsible to
create the project plan. The detailed project plan is used to document
deliverables and to achieve the project objectives detailed in the project
charter.
27
4. Project plans should include:
a. task schedules, being project specific detailed work plans,
b. resource schedules,
c. quality management and review plans,
d. a risk management plan,
e. a communications plan,
f. an issue management plan,
g. a scope management plan, and
h. a detailed budget addressing all aspects of the project and its management
5. When preparing the detailed work plans, the project manager must ensure
consideration of:
a. task dependencies
b. task and resource scheduling
c. Addition of any new tasks manifested as the project progresses (assuring
also that the scope of the project is closely managed and changes to that
scope are documented thoroughly).
6. Project plans must be reviewed regularly to identify any slippage from
original delivery dates, to implement corrective measures and to evaluate the
flow on effect on the project schedule overall.
7. The master project plan and all subsidiary plans must include milestones.
Milestones will usually be the completion of project stages. Resource
constraints, quality issues and project risks need to be factored into the
milestone plan.
28
8. Each task within a project plan has a narrative description sufficient to
communicate:
a. What is to be achieved/delivered;
b. The steps involved in achieving the deliverable;
c. The completion criteria of each deliverable.
9. During the planning process, it is essential to recognize that some or all of
the project team, and potentially some of the extended stakeholder team, will
need training. Determine the type and duration of training required and
include that training in the detailed project plan.
10.A project plan has many uses, not only as a schedule to manage the
timeliness, sequence and inter-dependency of tasks, but as a tool to assure
clear communications.
B. DOCUMENT CONTROL & DESIGN SUBMISSIONS
1. Calculation with supporting documents to prove the proposed Plant’s
availability as guaranteed/stated (this will include quantitative data of break

C. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Construction Project Management is the overall planning, co-ordination and
control of a project from inception to completion aimed at meeting a client’s
requirements in order to produce a functionally and financially viable project
that will be completed on time within authorized cost and to the required
quality standards. Project management is the process by which a project is
brought to a successful conclusion. Construction project management
(CPM) is project management that applies to the construction sector.
The most common responsibilities of a Construction Manager fall into the
following 7 categories:
1. Project Management Planning
2. Cost Management
3. Time Management
36
4. Quality Management
5. Contract Administration
6. Safety Management
CM Professional Practice which includes specific activities like defining the
responsibilities and management structure of the project management team,
organizing and leading by implementing project controls, defining roles and
responsibilities and developing communication protocols, and identifying
elements of project design and construction likely to give rise to disputes and
claims.
1. The functions of construction project management
1. Specifying project objectives and plans including delineation of scope,
budgeting, scheduling, setting performance requirements, and selecting
project participants.
2. Maximizing resource efficiency through procurement of labor, materials and
equipment.
3. Implementing various operations through proper coordination and control of
planning, design, estimating, contracting and construction in the entire
process.
4. Developing effective communications and mechanisms for resolving
conflicts
i. Construction management (CM):
1. Management of the site.
2. Form of delivery
37
ii. Programme management (ProgM):
1. Programme management is concerned with managing time in a
project and is thereby part of the CPM function.
2. Management of a client’s portfolio (client’s programme in this sense
is equivalent to a client’s brief)
iii. Project Control
1. The Project Control function is concerned with gathering data regarding
project progress, producing progress reports, monitoring time, cost, and
quality. Compared to the CPM function, the Project Control function can be
characterized to be passive, whereas a construction project manager needs to
take action.
Project leader (PL): The PL is responsible for achieving the project’s objectives.
He is the manager “in line”.
Project director (PD): The PD is the leader of a big project that can be broken
down in sub-projects (e.g. Channel tunnel). He can also be the head of a PM
organization. OR: The OR is the representative of the owner. This function can be
provided either internally or externally.
DC: Document Control - A key function of a Project Manager.
FBOT: finance build operate transfer
BOT: build operate transfer
DBOT: design build operate transfer
BOO: build own operate
38
EPC: engineering procurement construction
PFI: private finance initiative
GC: general contractor
GMP: Guaranteed maximum price
Typically the construction industry includes three parties:
a. an owner,
b. a designer (architect or engineer),
c. the builder (usually called the general contractor).
Traditionally, there are two contracts between these parties as they work together
to plan, design, and construct the project.
1. The first contract is the owner-designer contract, which involves planning,
design, and construction administration.
2. The second contract is the owner-contractor contract, which involves
construction. An indirect, third-party relationship exists between the
designer and the contractor due to these two contracts.
An alternate contract or business model replaces the two traditional contracts
with three contracts:
1. owner-designer,
2. owner-construction project manager,
3. Owner-builder.
39
The construction project management company becomes an additional
party engaged in the project to act as an advisor to the owner, to which
they are contractually tied. The construction manager's role is to provide
construction advice to the designer, on the owner's behalf, design advice
to the constructor, again on the owner's behalf, and other advice as
necessary.
iv. Design, bid, build contracts
Design, bid, build describes the prevailing model of construction management in
which the general contractor is engaged through a tender process after the designs
have been completed by the architect or engineer.
v. Design and build contracts
Recently a different business model has become more popular. Many owners –
particularly government agencies have let out contracts which are known as
Design-Build contracts. In this type of contract, the construction team is known as
the design-builder. They are responsible for taking a concept developed by the
owner, completing the detailed design, and then pending the owner's approval on
the design, they can proceed with construction. Virtual Design and Construction
technology has enabled much of the ability of contractors to maintain tight
construction time
There are two main advantages to using a design-build contract.
1. The construction team is motivated to work with the design team to develop
a design with constructability in mind. In that way it is possible for the team
to creatively find ways to reduce construction costs without reducing the
40
function of the final product. The owner can expect a reduced price due to
the increased constructability of the design.
2. The other major advantage involves the schedule. Many projects are given
out with an extremely tight time frame. By letting out the contract as a
design-build contract, the contractor is established, and early mobilization
and construction activities are able to proceed concurrently with the design.
Under a traditional contract, construction cannot begin until after the design
is finished, the project is bid and awarded, and the team can mobilize. This
type of contract can take months off the finish date of a project.
D. MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
1. Monitoring & Progress Reporting
1. The progress reports would be issued every month, one from the head office
of CLIENT and another from the site office. Reports will include such
schedules, charts and drawings as the Owner/Owner’s Engineer considers
necessary for adequately monitoring the Contract. The reports will be made
available to the Owner/Owner’s Engineer at least five working days prior to
scheduled progress review meeting.
2. The progress report issued from the head office should necessarily include
the following sections:
a) Report on key milestones.
b) Management summary indicating critical areas with details of
actions initiated and effect of any on the project.
c) Action needing attention of the Owner/Owner’s Engineer.
41
d) Detailed package wise status of engineering submissions, quality
plan submissions and approval, procurement manufacture and
dispatch.
3. The monthly report generated from the site office should necessarily
include:
a) Report on key milestones.
b) Management summary indicating critical areas with details of
action initiated and effect if any on the project.
c) Action needing attention of the Owner/Owner’s Engineer.
d) Details relating to the receipt of the equipment at the port, port
clearance, transport, receipt at site, erection and commissioning.
4. In addition to the above, as the project execution progresses, CLIENT will
also be responsible for generating more frequent reports on progress in
critical areas so that actions can be expedited. The exact format and contents
of the progress reports will be agreed at the time of signing of the Contract.
2. Project Management Meetings
i. In order to track the physical and financial progress, it is very essential to
have the meeting with the different agencies.
The agenda of the various meetings are;
(a) Issues faced and by the stakeholders and finding solutions of the
same,

SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Growing economies always need a proportional need for power. Country likeIndia
has a required growth in power sector close to 15 %. In order to matchthe
accelerated need of country, there is urgent need is to take the challenge tosqueeze
the time and cost required to complete a coal based power project. Ifsome more
R&Ds could fetch some reductions in total costs and couldincrease operating
efficiencies, it would be a great relief to fund hungry powerprojects.
We should go for large size projects which are more efficient and lesspolluting
than several smaller units. One more field which needs to beprioritized is Risk
management and project management that play a verycrucial role in carrying out
such big projects.
