Ashuganj Power Station Company Ltd.

Abstract

To fulfill the requirements of graduation in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at East West University we chose the industrial attachment interne. We successfully completed our internship on power production from the Ashuganj Power Station Company Ltd (APSCL). It is situated near Meghna River in Ashuganj. As our major is in power sector so we chose to go for interne in a power company where we can actually learn the practical knowledge of producing electricity and distribute it in an efficient way. On completion of this internship we gathered practical knowledge about production of electricity, major equipments e.g. Generator, Transformer and Switchgear equipments required for distribution and protection of the system. We learned about the operation of a power station and also the maintenance of it. We learned the responsibilities of being an Engineer and responding to it as efficiently as possible. A power station has lots of equipments connected in synchronized manner (where it is necessary) in order to produce power and distribute it. A power station can be divided into three basic sections. Backup and control section (it runs on DC power). • Generation section (it generates electrical energy and conditions it for grid supply). • Distribution and transmission section (known as substation and grid ). Our duration of stay was divided equally to work in this three major section. During the internee we have seen a plant getting tripped and the necessary actions that the engineers take in order to make it back to work in normal conditions. We have seen how a O'3llsformer is started and the conditions necessary for the transformer to start. We have seen the substation and understood the necessity of each and every equipments used there.
