Dear All,

I want to know about the software used for desgining Coal Based Thermal Power Plant. If anybody knows about this type of software tell me. My some important queries are as follows.

1) How do we select the Boiler Auxiliaries?
2) How do we select the Steam Turbine Auxiliaries?
3) How do we select the Generator Auxiliaries?
4) How do we calculate apparutus used in Coal Handling system?
5) How do we calculate apparutus used in Ash Handling system?
6) How do we calculate apparutus used in Raw Water Intake System?
7) How do we calculate apparutus used in Fuel Handling System?
8) How do we calculate apparutus used in DM Water Plant System?
9) How do we calculate apparutus used in Lime Handling System?

Software?

What ever happenend to experience and standard engineering practices?

Dear Mr. Tkrussell,

Can you suggest me any book or website which I refer to solve these problems? I have no more experience in this field. Presently, I have joined a company of similar field. I am very thankful to you if you shared your experience with me for desgining a caol based power plant or vise - versa. Also, I am searching main equipment & calculations used in Sub-Station desgining up to 132KV.

With Thanks & Regards..

Here is something to get you started:

Do a websearch for coal fired power plants design.

You have a great deal of work ahead of you.
