Advantages of Once through boiler.

Since quick start/stop and load raising requires sliding pressure operation
(load proportionate steam flow/feed water)
It attracts once through design.
Once through design :- Helps in saving Aux power at partial load.
-High efficiency.
-Better steam temp at all load.
-Since no thick materials like drum so
heating/cooling and hence start up/ shut down is quicker.
-No need to maintain drum level.
Its a better operational flexibility.
-Since all the heat exchangers are in a single
pass operational routine checks are faster and better.
However it requires high mass flow density at least at high heat flux

area. So spiral water wall design is needed which is costly in


plumbing.

Advantage/disadvantage of tube & ball mill

Quick load response as storage capacity of mill is high.


No rejects. So neat & clean.
Fineness is good even with poor coal.
But performance reduces
- with wet coal as reduction of size & quantity of ball and as reduction
of system frequency.
- frequent drag chain feeder jamming with foreign materials.
- one mill tripping means reduction of 150MW. So operating such a big
size mill is unwieldy.
-risk of fire due to storage facility.
-high aux power consumption because a large quantity of ball is being
rotated.
Suggestion:
- new plant should have small mill capacity 60t/hr instead of 90t/hr.
- one more standby mill required.

GCB concept
advantages
No need to change power source after
tripping of the unit. So station transformer
is eliminated. Initial Cost as well as
subsequent maintenance cost reduced.
Stress due to Fault is reduced and hence
life of generator increases. See
