Thermal Power Station Muzaffargarh

 

Thermal power station Muzaffargarh. Located at the distance of 4 km from Muzaffargarh city. This is the one of the biggest power station. Which has two phases.. Phase 1 has four units. Phase two has 2 units.

(Phase 1)Unit 1, 2, 3 & 4 is called Russian Units. ..

(phase2)Unit 5 & 6 is called chine’s Units….

 Unit 1,2 & 3

This phase consists of three steam units each capable of generating 210 MW electricity.

Unit 4

This unit capable of generating 320 mw electricity…

PHASE 11:

                  In phase II there are two units of capacity 210 M.watt and one unit of capacity 320 M.watt.

 The phase 1 can produce 15120000 units/24 Hours.

         So the total capacity of both the two phases is 48000,000 units/24 Hours. But this is situation when all the units are working with full capacity. But there are little situation when this type of occurrence. But they utilize their capacity according to the requirements. All the decisions about the utilization are done at higher level. NPCC Islamabad gives all the instructions about the utilization. The reason is that all the thermal houses in Pakistan are connected just like a ring topology (the term used in net working). When sufficient amount of water are available. The more concentration are given to produce Hydro electricity. Because this source of electricity are much cheaper than thermal electricity.

        Even there are situation, when the thermal house need electricity for their staff colony and for the power station from other station.

This is in front of picture of thermal power station Muzaffargarh.

This is also called Genco III

 

 

Genco III

        In Genco II thermal house are Multan (MEPCO), Fasil Abad (FASCO), Muzaffargarh.

When the electricity produced through units first of all there is PAKGEN 220kv Switch yard. This switch yard is used to step up the electricity and then send to the grids of the cities. There is lot of loss of electricity through 220kv switch yard.

        To avoid this problem wapda established in March 2000 with the help of APP Company, 500kv switch yard to avoid these line losses. Approximately 30% of electricity are lost in main lines. The purpose of 500kv switch yard is to minimize these losses

        

 

 

 

 

SUGGESTION

 

As the oil is an important Row material for production. So they have to bear a lot of transportation cost on oil. If they used pipe line delivery of oil from PARCO then they can save a lot of capital forPakistan. The other benefit for this action the certainty of oil during there peak season.
