Abstract: Protection and interlock systems is a major study and research topic involved in a thermal power station to safe guard the equipment of boiler, turbine and generator. Main objective of the paper is to demonstrate all the protections and interlocks available for Boiler, Turbine & Generator and show how the entire plant is protected from abnormal conditions. Unnecessary tripping of thermal plant leads to loss of Generation, long maintenance and high cost. This paper will be beneficial for the fresher’s and trainee engineers entering into thermal power station to gain knowledge of all protection system involved in a thermal power plant.
Keywords: Thermal, Power Pplant, Turbine.
Scope of the Article: Thermal Engineering
