A review on Nashik Thermal Power Plant

Hello guys, in this article we are going to review Nashik Thermal Power Plant. 


Nashik Thermal Power Plant is situated at Eklahre, a village near Nashik. The power plant has a total of 5 units of which 3 units having capacity of 210MW and 2 units having capacity of 140MW. The power plant runs on primary fuel coal and a secondary or backup fuel as oil. It is run by Maharashtra State Power Generation Company (MAHAGENCO). The power plant was first commissioned in 1970. The power plant is spread in a total of 474 hectares. It got ISO certification in the year 2002. The first two units having capacity 140MW are now stopped as they are under renovation, while the other three units are running 24×7.

The plant needs oil fire to start the power plant unit, after which it can be run on coal fired continuosly. The whole system works on rankine cycle. The coal needed to fire the boiler comes through railways as the plant is situated on Bhusawal-Kalyan section of central railways. The power plant consumed a total of 4,626,000 tonnes of coal in the year 2006-07. The unit is controlled by a control room situated near the turbine of each unit. The power plant supplies power to Mumbai by the help of grids. 
 Maharashtra State Power Generation Company (Mahagenco) is planning to deploy 660 MW super-critical unit at the same location just like the current plant. This project will be stationed adjacent to the existing stage-I plant (2 x 140 MW) site at village Eklahare. Land requirement for the proposed project is about 36.6 hectares. The coal sources will be from Mahanadi coal blocks by MahaGuj Collieries. The total cost of the project is around Rs 4,390 crore, 20% contribution will be by the State Government amounting to Rs 878 crore. The remaining funds will be supported from several lending institutions.

Plasma Propulsion Rockets

Hey guys, here with you bringing another new article related to technology. Th topics on which this article is based on is none other but plasma propulsion rockets. An this surely a trending technology which is under development in the present but is surely going to a bright future in the upcoming years. With the higher velocity propulsion engine the rockets equipped with these technologies will will be able to travel much faster through the interstellar space. So heading on to the topic. A plasma propulsion engine is a kind of electric drive that creates thrust from a quassi-neutral plasma. This is in contrast to ion thruster engine, which produce thrust through extracting an ion current from the plasma source, which is then accelerated to high speeds utilizing grids/anodes. These exist in numerous structures. Plasma engines don't commonly utilize high voltage grids or anodes/cathodes to accelerate the charged particles in the plasma, rather utilizes currents and potenti...

How will adding a track-and-trace system save your business?

In 2019, $2.92M worth of cargo goods were stolen in the United States. While some of them were recovered, many are still missing. Recovery of goods can take anywhere between one week to a decade. This makes security a serious issue to consider before you export your goods. Track and trace systems are an excellent solution to this problem. A track and trace system allows you to transport packages without any worry of tampering or damage. These are often used while exporting goods to far-off countries but can easily be used when you’re transporting sensitive information in folders, files, or even small boxes. Features of track and trace systems: Packaging: The packaging usually contains anti-counterfeit and anti-tamper elements, meaning it can only be opened by the sender and the receiver.  Barcode: A barcode is often provided with the packaging that contains all the information regarding the product. This can also be utilized to track the package remotely. Anti-counterfeit element...
