METTUR THERMAL POWER STATION-1


Tangedco Ltd., Mettur Dam (Tamil Nadu)

Unit Profile

This is the first inland Thermal Power Station of Tamil Nadu Generation and
Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO Ltd.). The plant is located on the left
flank of the Ellis surplus course of Mettur Reservoir. It is situated at an altitude of
+212 mts, above MSL. The first unit was commissioned on 07.01.87 and the
other 3 units were commissioned on 01.12.1987, 22.03.1989 and 27.03.1990
respectively.

The boilers of the Mettur thermal Power Station-I, capable of producing 700
tonnes of steam per hour at 5400C and 137 kg/cm2 pressure were supplied by
M/s. BHEL, Trichy. The Turbo Generators were supplied by M/s.BHEL, Haridwar.
The turbine is a three stage turbine and the generator is capable of generating
210 MW at a generation voltage of 15.75 kV. Chimney of 220m Height to take
care of environmental and ecological needs. State of art Distributed Control System
for process control in Units I, II, III & IV. From Talcher Collieries in Odisha State.
Also imported coal is being received from Indonesia. 4 Nos. Wagon tipplers unload
the coal wagons. A dyke has been constructed across the Perumpallam valley,

482
which consists of two settling ponds in series. Most of the ash is collected as Dry
Ash in cylos and issued to cement companies.

The power generated at 15.75 kV is stepped up to 230 kV by 3 phase 250 MVA


transformer (one for each unit) and fed into the Tamil Nadu grid. All the four Units
of Mettur Thermal Power StationI were in continuous Operation for 73 days a
Unique Record in TANGEDCO History. Unit III of Mettur Thermal Power Station I
was in continuous operation for 337 days a Unique Record in TANGEDCO History.

Sl.No Description Coal savings in MT.
7. After a major fire accident on 10.05.2012
at MTPS-I, the coal consumption was made
empirically due to damaging of all Belt
weighers in the coal weighing system. As 427270
initial commissioning activities of MTPS-II
(1 X 600 MW) was underway during
2013-14, the coal consumption of MTPS-I
and MTPS-II during 2013-14 was not
accurate and was on higher side. Up to
2014-15 the coal yard was utilized in
common by both the stations. But during
2014-15, the coal consumption was
corrected by both MTPS-I and MTPS-II.
