we reached at KTPS Thermal Power Plant. After completed some formalities

and submitting official documents in the Admin Block we entered inside the

power plant which is subdivided into two section one is generation section from

where power is generated and another one distribution section from where

power is distributed. We first visited the mechanical operation/thermal power

generation/GM Building in the 1st. session which was from 11am to 1.30pm.

and interacted with the Technical coordinator persons. The Technical

coordinator divided our students into two subgroups of 2nd

year and 3rd

year

along with event coordinator Mr. Saptarshi Hazra and Mr. Sanjeev Chakraborty.

The Technical coordinators of KTPS conducted very informative session for the

students and also he explained the function of each section/system from where

power is generated. He also guided the students and showed all the section and

the importance in the current work of KTPS. Finally the session was concluded

with question-answer/doubt/query clearance session. Many of the students

asked different questions to the Technical Head on current demanding

technologies, market scenarios etc. and he cleared all the doubts and myths

which were in students mind about the power plant.

After completed the 1st session we went for the lunch at 2:00 p.m. to

Hotel Park Point in Mecheda and then again we returned back and started 2nd

session which was from 3pm. to 5pm. at ECR (Electrical Control Room) block

of KTPS. In ECR block there is a control room from where generated power is

controlled. The technical coordinator again explained how to power is

distributed and transmitted to all over west Bengal and other area in India.

After that theoretical session they took students in the field area to show the

transmission line area from where power is transmitted through Feeder. The

technical coordinator explained everything and again there is a question- answer

session. The students were satisfied after the session. The visit came to an end at

5.30 p.m. Finally, we left the KTPS premises at 5.30 p.m. It was an informative,

interesting and a successful visit. As students of ECE, they understand a live

importance of a power plant like KTPS we express our thanks and gratitude to

the Technical Head, General Manager and all team members of KTPS who

spent their valuable time for us directly and indirectly. We also thank to our

respected Director and HOD who motivate us to arrange such an informative

program. Lately we request you to arrange more industrial visit in the future for

the students which will be beneficial for the students to train them towards

Core/Technical/Industry sector.
