ABSTRACT

The Simhadri power project is the first coastal coal based thermal power project of NTPC from which entire power is allocated to the Andhra Pradesh. It is spreaded over an area of 3384 acres near Paravada in Visakhapatnam district of AP, the 1000MW Simhadri Thermal Power Project has two units of 500MW capacity each. Another two units of 500MW capacity each will be commissioning. NTPC Simhadri has 400kv switchyard. This project deals about the distribution of power from generators to the transformers and finally to the busbars, with various equipment used in switchyard and various protection schemes in switchyard.
