07:31 / Posted by tech data /

This plant is setup by Wartsila, Finnish Company, under the agreement with Khulna Power Company Limited (KPCL). It is the first private power plant project in Bangladesh. It has started its production since October 13, 1998. It supplies power to our national grid. The plant has two sections; the main generating section is mounted on two separate barges floating on water; and the rest of the plant including administration building, workshop, store house, fire house, fuel storages, data management section etc are situated on the ground. It is the only power plant in Bangladesh that is running under full computer control monitoring & protection system. This plant has both the ISO9002 & ISO14001 certifications from the International Standard Organization (ISO) for its best quality management and environment management.
The management authority of the power plant has employed service-man in consideration of per MW generating capacity of the power plant. In that respect the total manpower of this plant is
Marine Engineers 4
B. Sc Engineers 24
Diploma Engineers 46
M. Sc 2
Workers 50
Total manpower 126
Although for maintaining good management there are 126 working persons instead of 110.
The plant has two symmetrical power generating units, such as –
1. Tiger 1 &
2. Tiger 3.
Both are mounted on two separate barges. Tiger -1 has nine (9) generators and Tiger-3 has ten (10) generators. So, total numbers of generators are nineteen (19). Each has 6.5 MW generating capacity. So total generating capacity of
Tiger-1 = 9 x 6.5 MW = 58.0 MW (app)
Tiger-3 = 10 x 6.5 MW = 65.0 MW (app)
A single generator is being kept standby condition for maintenances purposes & sudden failure protection. Generators are v-type reciprocating synchronous diesel engine [engine configuration - 19x18V32LN]. The fuel used for the engines is Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO).
