<span style="font-size: large;"> NTPC Vindhyachal, located in Singrauli / Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh, is one of the biggest Thermal power plants if India. </span><span style="font-size: large;">NTPC Vindhyachal, owned and operated by NTPC Limited is located on the North West bank of Rihand Reservoir (Govind Ballabh Pant Sagar) at Vindhyanagar in Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh. </span><span style="font-size: large;">NTPC Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Project is currently generating 3760 MW (210 x 6 + 500 x 2 + 500 x 2 + 500) and will be adding up 1000 MW in the next few years and will qualify as a one of the biggest power projects in India. It has currently one of the biggest switch yards in ASIA. It could be compared with the Ultra Mega Power Projects built by Reliance, Essar and Adani. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Renukoot Station is about 50 Km away from project site while Shaktinagar station is 10 Km away. Varanasi is the nearest major town 220 Km away connected by Road and railway link.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Stage 2 comprising of 800 MW x 2 was supposed to be built up with the help of Russian support, but the disintegration of USSR in the 1990's did not help the cause, thereafter the plan was scrapped and it was built up as 500 MW x 2 with the help of BHEL. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">VSTPS is accredited with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The 210 MW units were made with Russian support. A lot of renovation and Maintenance has taken place since then. ABB made Symphony Harmony DCS is installed there. The 500 MW units are BHEL made units of which 7 and 8 had ABB made Procontrol p13 DCs and Unit 9 and 10 are having Max DNA DCS by BHEL. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The image below depicts the layout of Vindhyachal thermal power plant and the coal mines namely Jayant, Nigahi and Kahdia. The close proximity of the coal mines reduces the transportation costs of coal and provides easy and regular supply of coal. The mines are controlled by Northern Coal Fields Limited (NCL) and are open cast in nature. Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Project (VSTPP) is geographically located </span><span style="font-size: large;">at 240 04'57.85” - 240 06'19.30” N latitude and 820 38'34.01” - 820 41'28.80” </span><span style="font-size: large;">E longitude. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The water requirement of the project will is met from the cooling water </span><span style="font-size: large;">discharge channel of Singrauli STPP.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Although everyone is expected to come and participate in the event bust most of the people are sleeping at this time of the hour. Since it is held early in the morning most of the youngsters are sleeping and only the old ones make it to the event. After the morning walk, delicious breakfast is served at Admin building comprising of Jalebis and Idly, Dosa. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> It feels refreshing to walk early in the morning, especially during the chilly winter mornings on grass covered with Dew. I took this beautiful super macro shot on the hockey ground near stadium. The dew drops are very fine and present a fascinating image.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"> I took a number of shots of Vindhyachal power plant from my hostel at Shaktinagar and from the railway tracks at MGR admist a setting sun. The images depicts the stacks of stage 1, 2 and 3.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> In spite of the green house gas emissions from the thermal power plants, the township here is green and wonderful. The lush green surroundings here is a rare treat to watch. I try to get up on rainy mornings and take a stroll around the township with my camera, since very few people venture out on rainy mornings and i can shoot the surroundings without caring for the on lookers. Normally when i am shooting, the morning walkers would gaze at me and this unsettles me a lot, sometimes i need to explain as to what i am doing.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> While walking on a fresh morning one may get to see a rare sight of flowers scattered beautifully on the path, although it is not spring. One may also get to see storks in flight. capturing them in flight is a bit difficult with sharp focus and good exposure.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Nights are comparatively cooler after the showers, light breeze brings a soothing effect. The area near the cooling towers after a light shower is mesmerizing. The presence of water vapour in the air makes the plumes prominent after the rains, it seems as if the clouds have descended.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Nights as viewed from my balcony are very beautiful at times. The incessant rain which lasted the whole day brought a lot of mist in the air, and it produced a beautiful sight at midnight. I caught this beautiful image using a long exposure of 15 sec and f/2.7 aperture on tripod. It was one of my best night shots. The noise in the image was also too low, and i used low ISO setting to achieve maximum contrast and switched off the Image stabilization.</span><br />

The truck carrying wooden logs turned turtle at the corner, since the lid covering the storm water drain gave way and was not able to sustain the weight of the overloaded truck. The large cache of timber spilled over and the forest officials had a tough time recollecting them. Trees help in maintaining cool temperature inside the township and supports the ecosystem.<br />

Cars like these are found abandoned in a derelict state in most of NTPC Townships. The most were found in Korba, which i visited during Simulator Training. Here too one may find one or two Premier Padmini cars lying at the Parking lot. Although they are immobile they earn a monthly bounty for their owners.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Presently Vindhyachal is generating the maximum amount of Power among all the Power plants of NTPC, due to its large capacity; and it will be able to maintain this in future merely due to the excellent maintenance and operational skill of its engineers. Although Stage 1; comprising of six units of 210 MW each, is on the verge of completion of 25 years; it is generating power seamlessly an with a high plant load factor and high availability factory. Water, Fuel supply, Ash disposal and stack emissions are the challenges which Vindhyachal needs to address in the future to keep its current stature and position intact in future. Hope we will reduce green house gas emissions and increase capacity with renewable sources of energy which will enable us to maintain ecological balance on this planet earth.</i></span><br />
