We embarked on a journey of 4hrs from Mewar University Gangrar to Kota, we were about 45 Students consisting of B.tech and Diploma Students accompanied by 5 departmental faculties. Among the students are Nigerians, Yemenis, Sudanese and Indians. The students are from their respective departments as follows:
1. Electrical and Electronics Engineering(EEE)
2. Electronics and Communication Engineering(ECE)
3. Mechatronics Engineering
4. Mechanical Engineering
The journey was a peaceful and swift one. On reaching to the Power station, we saw military men on duty they were searching every person before entering the station, we were search and our phones were collected then we sign on our names before we entered the station.
Two junior Engineers welcomed us and then took us around starting from the transportation of coal by train then the first step by human’s i.e. the homogenous process of separating the coal from unwanted ones and also breaking them into smaller ones it was WOW. We were showed how power was generated through coal by means of heating then we proceed to see the condense water and also the chlorine tank. The water needs to be chlorinated before the coal heats it then reaching its condensed form by the rotating shafts of the turbines. The water needs to be chlorinated to avoid corrosion and damage to machine engines and part.
We were been taking to the Control System Room where all machines are been control by systems operated by humans from the computation of data, its analysis and documentation of accurate information of power generated daily in time frames and other important functions, we also saw the ongoing clip of the operations been carried out that very day through its architectural layout and view.
It was concluded with pictures with KSTPS Staff and Engineers, Faculties of Mewar University and other students. We journey back to the University campus though we stopped on the road and a warm reception was given to us by a restaurant where we all ate Chicken Biryani to our satisfaction with availability of bottle waters.
The journey was a beautiful experience. A very big thank you to the Management of Mewar University, department staff of Electrical and Electronics Engineering most especially Our HOD Mr. Deepak Joshi, the subject lecturer Ms. Nirma Kumar, Mr. Lone Faisal, Mr. Suraj Kumar and all other faculties who in one way or the other contributed to the success of this journey.
