A shortage of electric energy is the biggest problem to the economical growthof any country. The power sector of Bangladesh faced various problems, such as, lack of supply capacity, frequent power cuts, unacceptable generation of power, and poor financial and operational performance etc. In Bangladesh, the present maximum demand of electricity varies from 4,500 MW to MW and it is expected torises up to 7,000 MW within the next two years. But maximumgeneration available is between 3,800 MW and 4,600 MW. The difference between maximum demand and maximum generation of power is approximately 2,000 MW, due to old set-up and de-rated efficiency of the maximum power plants. APSCL where we have done our internship, has 9 units with installed capacity of 777 MW. But its present de-rated capacity is 731 MW and dependable capacity at a delivery point 573 MW. APSCL fulfills about 15% of power requirements of the total country. Manpower at APSCL is almost 517 on regular basis, which plays a vital role in the job market of developing country. a power station can generate and transmit power We work edges turbine gas turbine steam turbine and generation system.
