The School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering had organized an Industrial visit for 6th semester students to Linganamakki Hydroelectric Power Plant on 30th April 2022 & Kaiga Atomic Power Station on 2nd May 2022
Linganamakki is a 55MW hydro power project. It is located on Sharavathy river/basin in Karnataka, India. The project is currently active. It has been developed in single phase. The project construction commenced in 1951 and subsequently entered commercial operation in 1955.The project is currently owned by Karnataka Power.The hydro reservoir capacity is 4,435 million cubic meter. The net Linganamakki head of the project is 29.5m. The total number of penstocks, pipes or long channels that carry water down from the hydroelectric reservoir to the turbines inside the actual power station, are 2 in number. The penstock diameter is 4.9m. The project generated 250 GWh of electricity.
Students visited the pump house and Linganamakki dam . Assistant engineers explained about the complete setup of Linganamakki generating station. They explained the working of turbines ,role of generators and transformers in generating electricity. They also explained the single line diagram and relay setup in control rooms.
Kaiga Generating Station is a nuclear power generating station situated at Kaiga, near the river Kali, in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka, India. The plant has been in operation since March 2000 and is operated by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India.
It has four units. The fourth unit went critical on 27 November 2010. The two oldest units comprise the west half of the site and the two newer units are adjoining the east side of the site. The older four units are small-sized pressurized heavy water reactors of 220 MW gross. Students visited the control room of generating station. Assistant engineers explained about Safety and protection measures at Kaiga atomic power station , Infrastructure , Kaiga nuclear power plant history, control panel & relays ,waste management and the complete process to extract uranium to generate power.
