Study on Operation and Maintenance of a Power Plant

Abstract

This field work is on “study on Operation and Maintenance of a Power plant” (Based Summit Power Plant)”.With needs of power, power Generation company has been increasingly used in private power generation of Bangladesh. In order to increase power and to reduce the initial investment and to minimize the maintenance costs in terms of money and human resource, control engineers recommend that all program control system should be used of power generation. In the starting period of our internship, I have walked around the power plant. With The help of experienced engineer, I have worked on control and Maintenance of power generation. For generating power and purpose of distributing, we have used generator, switchgear, circuit breaker, transformer etc. Most important things used to engine, alternator, substation, fuel for power generation. Some of this are cylinder head, cylinder linear, cylinder block, rocker arm, crank shaft cam shaft, spark plug, piston, piston ring, connecting rod, main bearing, turbocharger etc. Besides that we have learned the method of ignition system, fuel system, air starting system, air inlet and exhaust system, lubricating system, engine cooling system, starter system etc. Also besides that we have learned about current transformer (CT), potential transformer (PT), radiator, earth switch, isolator, surge counter, different types of relay, sensor etc.
