Renovation and modernisation (R&M) has been recognised as a cost-effective option for obtaining additional generation and better output from existing thermal power units. R&M can improve the performance, safety and reliability of units, help in […]
One of the most important uses of water in a thermal power plant is for cooling purposes. It is one of the most water consuming processes in a power plant. To transfer heat from the core, […]
Water is used in thermal power plants (TPPs) mainly for cooling purposes, ash handling, coal dust suppression, removal of plant heat from plant auxiliaries and cycle makeup. Notably, the thermal power segment accounts for the […]
A significant proportion of the emissions produced by the industrial sector in the country are attributable to the coal-based thermal power industry. The combustion of coal converts the nitrogen bound in it to products such […]
For coal-fired power plants, several technology solutions are available to meet the SOX emission standards prescribed by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. Wet FGD based on limestone is one of the most […]
Coal-based capacity is the largest contributor to power generation in India with a share of around 70 per cent in 2022-23 (till January 2023). The drawback of the higher share of coal-based power generation capacity […]
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 […]
India’s market for electric vehicles (EVs), as well as their charging infrastructure, is rapidly evolving and expanding. As per the dashboard of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India (FAME)-II scheme, around […]
ELECRAMA, the flagship industry event organised by the Indian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers Association (IEEMA), will be held on February 18-22, 2023, at Greater Noida. The event, themed “ReImagine Energy – For Sustainable Future”, will […]
India aims to develop 500 GW of installed renewable energy by 2030 with 420 GW of solar- and wind-based power, namely variable renewable energy (VRE). VRE-based capacity is an intermittent source of power; therefore, for […]
In recent years, the power distribution segment has witnessed an upsurge in the deployment of smart metering solutions, smart grid infrastructure and digital solutions to improve operational and financial performance. The Ministry of Power’s Revamped […]
The Indian transmission segment is growing at a fast pace to support the country’s decarbonisation goals and connect 500 GW of clean energy (non-fossil fuel based) to the grid. Besides growth in the physical network, […]
Network strengthening and expansion are among the top priorities for transmission and distribution (T&D) utilities in the country to provide quality and reliable power supply. Utilities are increasingly adopting state-of-the-art technologies and digital solutions to […]
Digital solutions such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and internet of things (IoT) are gaining traction to manage the networks, restore outages more quickly and manage distributed energy generating sources in the most […]
The renovation and modernisation (R&M) and life extension (LE) of a TPP is a cost-effective way of generating additional power from the existing units at a lower cost and in less time. The R&M of […]
