The function of thermal power plants (TPPs) is rapidly evolving due to changes in the fuel mix, driven by the increasing prevalence of intermittent renewable energy sources. While TPPs have traditionally served as the primary […]
Ensuring effective emission control in coal-based thermal power plants (TPPs) is essential to facilitate a seamless energy transition in India. Despite the rapid growth of renewable energy capacity, coal-based plants are expected to play a […]
The solar and wind energy industries in India are witnessing a significant shift towards automation and digitalisation, particularly in operations and maintenance (O&M) practices. This transition is expected to optimise performance, reduce manpower costs and […]
Efficient operations and maintenance (O&M) of hydropower plants are crucial for ensuring their continued contribution to India’s energy security and environmental sustainability. O&M practices of plants should ensure reduced downtime of individual generating units and […]
The operations and maintenance (O&M) of hydroelectric plants (HEPs) is critical for meeting grid requirements, ensuring proper functionality and minimising downtime. Hydropower projects are capital-intensive assets, and well-maintained hydro assets have a longer life compared […]
Thermal power plants (TPPs) are some of the key emitters of pollutants such as SOx, NOx, and particulate matter (PM). In order to curb emissions from TPPs, power plants operators are increasingly installing appropriate emission […]
Over the years, the power stations have been witnessing deterioration in their performance as they age. This is accelerated if proper operations and maintenance (O&M) practices are not followed. Good O&M practices at thermal power […]
The implementation of emission norms is one of the key priorities of power plant developers. In order to comply with the tightened norms, identifying and adopting suitable technology is paramount. Various pilot projects are underway […]
The operations and maintenance (O&M) of hydropower plants is critical for meeting grid requirements, ensuring proper functionality and minimising downtime. Moreover, plants must be available for operation round the year. The lack of effective O&M […]
When coal is combusted, typically about 10 per cent of coal ash is generated and effective use of large amounts of coal ash becomes an issue. However, the quality of Indian coal being lower grade, […]
The water situation in India is progressively becoming alarming with the demand-supply gap increasing and the quality of water degrading. According to the Central Water Commission, the total water demand will overshoot supply by 2050. […]
