Power Plant Automation: Deploying digital solutions to transition to new models of supply

November 5, 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown have led to a significant reduction in energy demand, besides changes in the sales mix and the load curve. In the power generation segment, this has resulted in […]

Coal-based Power Generation

Fly Ash Control: Improvement in utilisation rate

November 4, 2020

In India, coal/lignite-based thermal power plants (TPPs) are the backbone of power generation and hence, generation of large amounts of fly ash is a common phenomenon. Additionally, Indian coal is of a lower grade with […]

Evolving Role: Trends and developments in coal-based power

November 3, 2020

Coal-based power is currently the mainstay of the country’s installed capacity, with a 70 per cent share in total generation. However, with the growing integration of renewables and a changing energy mix, the role of […]

Coal-based Power Generation

Coal Rules: Continued dominance despite growing challenges

November 20, 2018

India’s reliance on coal as the dominant source of power generation continues, with it accounting for about 75 per cent of the total generation in 2017-18. However, the segment faces multiple challenges. Slow capacity addition, […]

Coal-based Power Generation

Emission Crackdown: New technologies to comply with new norms

November 19, 2018

By 2030, India intends to reduce the emission intensity of its GDP by 30-35 per cent from the 2005 level. In this context, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, issued new environmental norms […]

Coal-based Power Generation

Better Load Response: Flexibilising TPPs for stable grid operations

November 16, 2018

The power sector scenario in India is changing significantly in line with the country’s commitment to explore low-carbon pathways for energy generation and emission reduction. As per its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), India has […]

Coal-based Power Generation

Intelligent Systems: Digital technologies for asset optimization

November 15, 2018

Digitalisation of power plants entails the use of sensors in power plant equipment as well as the adoption of digital solutions such as blade vibration monitoring system (BVMS), condensate throttling, 3D printing and steam leakage […]

Coal-based Power Generation

Enhancing Efficiency: R&M experience of coal-based power plants

November 14, 2018

The renovation and modernisation (R&M) of thermal power plants (TPPs) is undertaken primarily to equip existing units with the latest technologies in order to improve their performance in terms of output, reliability and availability, reduce […]

Coal-based Power Generation

Slowing Down: Coal-based power witnesses a slide in growth

November 10, 2017

Coal-based power continues to hold the highest share in the country’s installed capacity and total generation. However, coal-based power plants in India are currently facing a number of challenges such as declining efficiency levels, low […]

Coal-based Power Generation

Compliance Concerns: TPPs unlikely to meet the deadline for emissions control

November 9, 2017

Most thermal power plants (TPPs) in the country are not geared up to comply with the revised environmental norms by the December 31, 2017 deadline. Aimed at regulating the pollution caused by TPPs, the Ministry […]

Coal-based Power Generation

Coal Availability: Recent developments and policy initiatives

November 8, 2017

Coal-based generation continues to be the mainstay of the country’s power sector. In the past one to two years, the domestic coal supply scenario has improved significantly with Coal India Limited (CIL) significantly ramping up […]

Coal-based Power Generation

Need for Flexibilisation: A paradigm shift in TPP operations

November 7, 2017

India’s energy mix has been rapidly changing with increasing renewable energy penetration in the grid. However, variability in renewable generation is unavoidable, which calls for flexible operations and cycling of thermal power plants (TPPs). Flexibilisation […]

Coal-based Power Generation

TPP Upkeep: O&M needs, requirements and best practices

November 6, 2017

Coal-based thermal power stations (TPSs) still hold the majority share in India’s installed power capacity. A number of these units were commissioned before the 1970s and have outlived their useful life, while many units commissioned […]

Coal-based Power Generation

Fly Ash Utilisation: Concerted efforts needed for effective disposal

November 5, 2017

The disposal of ash, a by-product of power generation from coal-fired power plants, has been a key area of concern for the thermal power industry. The majority of the ash generated in thermal power plants […]
