Fuel management, particularly in thermal power generation, is a crucial aspect of operational efficiency and cost management. For power generation companies (gencos), managing fuel effectively encompasses ensuring the right quantity, quality, price and logistics of […]
With the increasing share of renewable energy in the power mix, thermal power plants (TPPs) are required to frequently adjust their operations through load cycling, involving quick ramp-ups and ramp-downs. As India aims to meet […]
It is essential to recognise that while enhancing renewable sources is crucial, thermal energy remains necessary to support the country’s growing power demand and maintain a stable and secure grid. As of April 2024, coal […]
The thermal power generation segment is the key driver for the growth of the Indian boiler, turbine and generator (BTG) market. Moreover, the government’s push towards renewable energy has also influenced the dynamics of the […]
The adoption of supercritical and ultra-supercritical technologies has gained significant momentum in the Indian market due to their ability to significantly enhance the overall operÂational efficiency of power plants and contribute to emission reduction. These […]
Power generation through thermal energy sources significantly contributes to the total power generation in India. It is responsible for high emissions released into the atmosphere, which include particulate matter (PM), sulphur dioxides (SO2), nitrogen oxides […]
Thermal power plants (TPPs) are responsible for large volumes of emiÂssions, making the reduction of pollutants such as SOx, NOx and particulate matter a top priority for power plant operators. Overall compliance with the emission […]
In a recent initiative to accelerate the turnaround of stressed power assets, the Ministry of Power (MoP) has issued an advisory to state gencos and power departments, urging them to participate in the ongoing insolvency […]
The transition to renewable energy sources has gained momentum in recent years as the world graÂpples with the growing threat of climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable power plants, including […]
The transition to clean energy, rising enÂergy demand and the need for flexibility when integrating wind and solar power are expected to boost the hydropower sector. The digitalisation of hydropower plants is gaining traction to […]
The Ministry of Power has issued a draft notification on the renewable generation obligation (RGO), mandating an RGO in the range of 6 per cent to 10 per cent. The notification will suÂperÂsede the earlier […]
India’s installed thermal power capacity of 239 GW accounts for 56 per cent of the country’s total installed capacity and is the primary source for meeting the nation’s power demand. It is, therefore, imperative that […]
The power generation segment is evolving rapidly, in line with the country’s energy transition and clean energy targets. While there is strong growth in renewable energy capacity addition, the role of thermal power is changing […]
The policy and regulatory developments in the past year demonstrate the government’s focus on integrating larger volumes of renewable energy sources and strengthening the distribution segment to improve end-user satisfaction. The country’s green energy commitment […]
India’s generation mix is witnessing a major shift from fossil fuels to renewables. As of August 2023, the country’s installed capacity stands at 424 GW, with conventional sources (thermal and nuÂclÂear) and renewable energy sources […]
The Indian power sector is at the cusp of a new era, as renewable energy grows and the role of thermal power evolves to meet emerging reÂquirements. Undoubtedly, thermal powÂer remains imperative to meet the […]
Over the past year, major players in the power sector have made significant strides. They have signed MoUs and established joint venture (JV) entities to advance renewable energy projects, encompassing green hydrogen technologies, nuclear power […]
The operational performance of power utilities has improved over the past year. There has also been a notable increase in power demand, which is reflected in the increasing utilisation levels measured by the plant load […]
Being a low-carbon source of electricity, nuclear power plays a significant role in decarbonising the power sector. Small modular reactors (SMRs) present opportunities for the application of nuclear power in power generation. Given their modular […]
With global concerns regarding enÂergy security, depleting fossil fuel reserves, increasing pollution levels and the looming threat of climate chÂanÂge, countries are increasingly prioritising the transition towards grÂeener energy soÂurces. As a result, the deployment […]
