While India has made tremendous advancements in establishing green power plants and increasing the utilisation of renewable energy sources, coal and lignite account for 73 per cent of the total electricity generated. Due to the […]
Coal-based thermal power plants (TPPs) in India consume a significant amount of water, accounting for approximately 70 per cent of the overall water used for industrial purposes. Moreover, a recent study has suggested that about […]
Ensuring emission control in coal-based thermal power plants (TPPs) is crucial for facilitating a smooth energy transition in India. While renewable energy capacity is rapidly growing, coal-based plants are expected to provide grid stability in […]
As of May 2023, thermal power capacity accounted for a significant share of 56.8 per cent of the total installed base of 417.67 GW. The pace of thermal-based capacity addition has declined considerably due to […]
Digitalisation of thermal power plants (TPPs) is paving the way for substantial improvements in the efficiency of generation. Deploying digital technologies increases capacity utilisation and fuel efficiency, while reducing emissions and operation and maintenance (O&M) […]
Around 92 per cent of India’s thermal power plants (TPPs) are designed to operate on Indian coal, which has a high ash content compared to the imported coal, which has a lower ash content. On […]
As India grapples with water quality and availability issues, water available for industrial use has become a cause for concern. Amongst industries, the power sector consumes a sizeable share of water, coal-fired plants being responsible […]
Thermal power plants (TPPs) are responsible for the majority of emissions, the reduction of pollutants such as SOx, NOx and particulate matter (PM) is one of the top goals of power plant operators. Due to […]
Coal-based power is a key contributor to the country’s generation capacity, accounting for a major share of 52 per cent in the total installed base of 404 GW (as of July 2022). However, the pace […]
