Indian coal is characterised by high ash content, which is in the range of 30-45 per cent. During power generation, coal-based power plants in the country generate a huge quantum of ash, which is one […]
Gencos are increasingly looking at technologies and solutions to reduce the environmental impact of coal-based power generation. From emission control equipment to systems for ash handling and disposal, gencos are looking for solutions that offer […]
Coal-based thermal power stations have been operating for decades in India but the concept of developing environment-friendly solutions for fly ash utilisation has picked up in recent years owing to stringent environment regulations. The effective […]
The transmission segment in India has seen considerable growth in the past few years owing to increasing power demand as well as generation capacity addition. The need to evacuate large-scale renewable energy is further driving […]
Over the years, transmission tower designs have evolved significantly in order to reduce the right-of-way (RoW) requirement, ensure speedy execution of projects and withstand diverse environmental conditions. Utilities are increasingly adopting monopoles and multicircuit transmission […]
With increasing urbanisation, space is getting constrained in most parts of the country, thereby necessitating the installation of conductors requiring less right of way (RoW) and having high current carrying capacity. A number of new […]
Transmission line engineers involved in planning new lines and upgrades use aerial surveillance techniques to determine routes, select right tower foundations, etc. Further, the routine monitoring and inspection of power transmission lines through aerial surveys […]
Transformer technologies have evolved considerably to meet the emerging requirements of utilities and adapt to the changing grid. New designs and features have been driven by considerations such as space optimisation, lowering costs, increasing asset […]
Efforts to reduce, recycle and reuse water at TPPs Water plays a significant role in power generation and is required for process cooling in condensers, ash disposal, removal of heat generated in plant auxiliaries and […]
Coal-based power plants are the largest producers of pollutants such as sulphur oxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. As per industry experts, the power sector in India contributed about 50 per cent of the […]
Water management is a key priority for power generation companies across the world, owing to stricter environmental regulations related to wastewater discharge and usage of treated sewage water for thermal power plants (TPPs), regional water […]
The discoms face a host of challenges in the areas of metering and billing, peak load management and revenue protection. In order to tackle these issues, it is essential for utilities to adopt the latest […]
Water is one of the key inputs for thermal power generation. It is required for process cooling in the condenser, ash disposal, the removal of heat generated in plant auxiliaries, and various other plant consumptive […]
The need to adopt new technologies for power utilities cannot be stressed enough, especially at present, when the world is grappling with a pandemic. With the Covid-19 crisis pushing millions of people to work from […]
Testing and measurement (T&M) has immense significance in the power industry as supply reliability depends on the smooth performance of all interconnected systems. Unless these systems are tested and maintained at regular intervals, breakdown of […]
With all meters expected to be smart prepaid meters in the next three to four years, the role of metering in India is expected to evolve significantly. From energy accounting and revenue administration, smart meters […]
Enhancing the operational efficiency of power plants as well as lowering their emission levels is the need of the hour. Various advanced technology solutions are being adopted by power plant developers to obtain the desired […]
Clouds are data centres or multiple data centres comprising computation and storage resources connected by a network. They are smart, automated and adaptive. Applications can be deployed far more quickly without customer provisioning boxes and, […]
