Boilers, turbines and generators (BTGs) are the key components of thermal power plants (TPPs), responsible for electricity generation. Recent capacity augmentation in TPPs to meet the growing power demand has increased the business potential of […]
The integration of renewable energy sources into the energy mix has posed significant challenges for traditional thermal power plants (TPPs). In the future, TPPs are expected to operate at an average minimum load of 55 […]
With coal expected to dominate India’s energy mix for at least the next few years, renovation and modernisation (R&M) is critical for improving the efficiency of thermal power plants (TPPs). Ageing assets, environmental mandates and […]
Thermal power continues to play a pivotal role in the global power sector, despite the ongoing push for cleaner energy alternatives. With India’s commitments to reduce emissions under its Nationally Determined Contributions, there is a […]
The renovation and modernisation (R&M) and life extension (LE) of a TPP is a cost-effective way of generating additional power from the existing units at a lower cost and in less time. The R&M of […]
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change notified the new emission norms for air and water consumption in December 2015. For thermal power plants (TPPs), these norms imply significant investments in emission reduction technologies […]
Coal-based power generation accounts for over 67 per cent of the overall power generation in the country. Therefore, limiting emissions from coal-based power generation is a huge challenge and a number of steps are being taken […]
The Indian boiler, turbine and generator (BTG) industry has been grappling with the challenges of under-utilisation of manufacturing capacity and a shrinking order pipeline from thermal power plants (TPPs) in view of the shifting focus of […]
The power sector is reeling under the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The domestic boiler, turbine and generator (BTG) industry was already grappling with the challenges of under-utilisation and a shrinking order pipeline from thermal power […]
The total renewable energy capacity in India has crossed 100 GW and accounts for about 24 per cent of the overall installed capacity. The share of renewables in the total power generation mix is low […]
Changes are taking place in the power sector at a fast pace. The country is nearly power surplus, renewables are growing manyfold, coal-based power plants are gearing up to meet flexilibilsation needs, battery costs are […]
The operations and maintenance (O&M) of thermal power plants (TPPs) is critical to guarantee that they operate efficiently and without interruption. Adopting effective O&M methods has become essential in the coal-based power generating segment, given […]
