The digitalisation of hydroelectric plants (HEPs) is paving the way for substantial improvements in hydropower generation. Digital technologies increase plant utilisation while reducing operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses. Digitalisation also improves power plant monitoring, fault prediction […]
The rapidly burgeoning share of renewable energy in the power mix is increasingly necessitating the incorporation of flexible coal-based power plants that are operationally and commercially viable. India’s renewable energy capacity (including large hydro) currently […]
Generation utilities are at the forefront of digitalisation initiatives. Information technology/operational technology (IT-OT) measures are gaining traction at power plants given their use in improving generation performance, managing the aging asset base and flexibilising units […]
The digital revolution in the power sector has gained momentum. Power generation utilities across the world are undergoing digitalisation to make power plants smarter and more efficient to deal with the challenges of the future. […]
The deployment of digital solutions at the boiler, turbine and generator (BTG) level has gained traction in the past couple of years in view of the increasing renewable energy integration into the grid and tightened […]
With benefits including reduced operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, improved data analysis and enhanced project management, digitalisation is a growing trend in the power industry. Hydropower plants are required to ramp up or down generation […]
Balance of plant (BoP) constitutes a critical part of a power plant and accounts for 40-45 per cent of the total project cost. The key BoP subsystems for thermal power plants typically include ash handling […]
According to industry data, in 2017, there was an overall increase of 13 per cent in reported system vulnerabilities across software and hardware systems in India. For industrial control systems, there was a 29 per […]
