IES system (Integrated Engineering Station

Superheated Steam : Steam heated above its boiling temperature so it contains no water droplets and can run the turbine efficiently.

Saturated Steam: Steam at boiling temperature that may still contain tiny water droplets.

Flue Gases: Hot gases produced when coal burns in the boiler.

Condensate: Water obtained when exhaust steam is cooled in the condenser.

Draft: The movement of air and flue gases through the boiler.

PLF (Plant Load Factor): The percentage of the plant’s installed capacity that is actually used to generate electricity over a period of time.

SCC (Specific Coal Consumption): The amount of coal required to generate one unit (1 kWh) of electricity.

Heat Rate: The amount of heat energy required to produce one unit (1 kWh) of electricity.

GCV (Gross Calorific Value): The total amount of heat released when one kilogram of coal is completely burned.

Auxiliary Power Consumption (APC): The electrical power consumed by the plant’s own equipment, such as pumps, fans, and conveyors.

NCV (Net Calorific Value): The useful heat available from coal after subtracting heat lost with water vapor.

Excess Air: Additional air supplied to ensure complete combustion of coal.

Vacuum: Pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, typically maintained in the condenser to improve turbine efficiency.

Blowdown: Removal of a portion of boiler water to control impurities and dissolved solids.

Availability Factor: The percentage of time the plant is ready to generate power.

Capacity Factor: The ratio of actual energy generated to the maximum possible generation over a period.

Forced Outage: Unplanned shutdown due to equipment failure or operational issues.

Scheduled Outage: Planned shutdown for maintenance or inspection.

Ramp Rate: The speed at which plant load can be increased or decreased.

LOI (Loss on Ignition): The percentage of unburned carbon present in ash.

AFT (Ash Fusion Temperature): The temperature at which ash begins to soften and melt.

Stack Emission: Gases and particles released through the chimney.

Make-up Rate: The amount of additional water required to compensate for losses in the cycle.
