Satpura Thermal Power Station - Power station in Sarni - Betul, India

MP State govt. Thermal unit. 2 new units of 250MW. Scenery of the place is amazing. Natural views from around various units of plants are eye soothing. There is a dam/reservoir for the plant which is of Great glimpse. Working in this plant when compared to others is better as per residencial accomodation is close enough or not far. Local town sarni gives Peace in life. City is not costly. Nearby is hill/mountain to explore around, which is popular by the name of Shri Mathardeo temple. STPS is heart of town. Must visit.

Satpura Thermal Power Project is an existing 1392 MW coal-fired power station promoted by Madhya Pradesh Power Generating Company Ltd. at Betul district in Madhya Pradesh, India. The land requirement for the main plant and auxillary facilities is 57.86 ha, which is available within the existing plant boundary, however, 136 ha of land is to be acquired for the ash disposal area which includes 19 ha for alternate road in lieu of the existing roads to be included in the ash pond area. No forestland is involved in the land to be acquired for the proposed unit. Coal requirement will be 2.576 million metric tones per annum at 80% PLF. Water requirement is estimated as 1855 m3/hr, which will be met from Satpura Reservoir. It was also stated that about Rs 1.0 crore per year will be spent on CSR activities. Public hearing was held on 27.2.2008 . There will be 69 land oustees families due to this project extension. No National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary is located within 10 Km from project area. Total cost of the project is Rs. 2637.00 crores which includes Rs. 140.00 crores for environmentalprotection measures.

A thermal power station is a type of power station in which heat energy is converted to electrical energy. In a steam-generating cycle heat is used to boil water in a large pressure vessel to produce high-pressure steam, which drives a steam turbine connected to an electrical generator. The design of thermal power stations depends on the intended energy source: fossil fuel, nuclear and geothermal power, solar energy, biofuels, and waste incineration are all used. Certain thermal power stations are also designed to produce heat for industrial purposes; for district heating; or desalination of water, in addition to generating electrical power. Fuels such as natural gas or oil can also be burnt directly in gas turbines (internal combustion). These plants can be of the open cycle or the more efficient combined cycle type The reciprocating steam engine has been used to produce mechanical power since the 18th century, with notable improvements being made by James Watt. When the first commercially developed central electrical power stations were established in 1882 at Pearl Street Station in New York and Holborn Viaduct power station in London, reciprocating steam engines were used. The development of the steam turbine in 1884 provided larger and more efficient machine designs for central generating stations. By 1892 the turbine was considered a better alternative to reciprocating engines;[1] turbines offered higher speeds, more compact machinery, and stable speed regulation allowing for parallel synchronous operation of generators on a common bus. After about 1905, turbines entirely replaced reciprocating engines in almost all large central power stations. The largest reciprocating engine-generator sets ever built were completed in 1901 for the Manhattan Elevated Railway. Each of seventeen units weighed about 500 tons and was rated 6000 kilowatts; a contemporary turbine set of similar rating would have weighed about 20% as much

Sarni is famous for baba mathardev and satpura power thermal staion.It is a coal based substation which produces more than 1000 mw of electricty.electricity produced here is also trasfered to other states also.
