Department of Electrical Engineering has organized an industrial visit of Thermal Power
Station, Wanakbori (GSECL) for 3rd year students. 58 students along with 2 faculty
members visited the thermal power station on above mentioned date. WTPS has 7 units
each of 210 MW and one unit of 800 MW. So, the total installed capacity of the plant is 2270
MW. Following sections of the WTPS had been visited.
1) Training center
2) Coal and ash handling plant
3) Boiler section
4) Turbine/Generator floor
5) Electrical control room (Unit No.1)
6) Cooling tower
7) Switch yard (220 kV & 400 kV)
The visit was very fruitful as we observed each of energy conversion stages used in power
plant starting from fuel section to switch yard. We collected very important information
like practical data which are not available in books and other literature. Many of our doubts
are cleared by the discussion with experts of the plant.
