Transformers have always been central to reliable electricity delivery. With India’s power system now being reshaped by rising demand and intermittent renewable energy, its operations and maintenance (O&M) role has become more strategic than ever […]
Robust operations and maintenance (O&M) strategies for hydroelectric power plants (HEPs) are essential to sustain performance and preserve asset value over time. An effective O&M framework supports long-term plant operations, optimises energy generation and minimises […]
Operations and maintenance (O&M) services play a critical role in ensuring the sustained performance, reliability and efficiency of thermal power plants (TPPs). Robust O&M strategies not only help maintain high operational standards but also extend […]
Operations and maintenance (O&M) strategies are central to the efficiency, availability and operating life of hydropower assets. Given the capital-intensive nature, long asset life and site-specific characteristics of hydropower projects, effective O&M practices are essential […]
The session on “O&M Best Practices” comprised a panel discussion among Dr Nilesh Kane, Chief (Transmission & Mumbai Distribution), Tata Power; Sandip Maity, Senior Vice-President, Design and Engineering, Resonia; Sanil Namboodiripad, Chief Operating Officer, IndiGrid; […]
Effective operations and maintenance (O&M) strategies are essential for thermal power plants (TPPs) to ensure reliability, efficiency and asset value. Strong O&M practices can improve operating efficiency, cut emissions, reduce downtime, mitigate risks and maximise […]
Operations and maintenance (O&M) is a critical function in the life cycle of hydropower plants, directly impacting plant reliability, efficiency and performance. Structured and technology-driven O&M strategies are essential to minimise downtime, manage costs and […]
With the increasing share of renewable energy in the power mix, thermal power plants (TPPs) are required to frequently adjust their operations through load cycling, involving quick ramp-ups and ramp-downs. As India aims to meet […]
The thermal power generation segment is the key driver for the growth of the Indian boiler, turbine and generator (BTG) market. Moreover, the government’s push towards renewable energy has also influenced the dynamics of the […]
The role of thermal power plants (TPPs) is changing at a fast pace with the shifting fuel mix, led by the increasing share of intermittent renewable energy sources. TPPs, which have been the main source […]
Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) recently held a two-day international conference, GRIDCON 2023, in Gurugram. The theme of the conference was “Digitalisation in Transmission Asset Management: Building Block for Future”, and it covered […]
Hydropower is set to play a key role in the transition to renewable energy, given its ability to address the intermittency and grid balancing requirements. As the largest and most readily available source of flexibility […]
The Indian boiler, turbine and generator (BTG) industry has been grappling with the challenges of under-utilisation of manufacturing capacity and a shrinking order pipeline from thermal power plants (TPPs) in view of the shifting focus of […]
Powerlinks Transmission Limited, a joint venture between Tata Power Company Limited and Power Grid Corporation of India Limited, which operates the Tala transmission project, has been focusing on adopting new and emerging technologies to optimise […]
Given the increasing renewable energy integration into the grid, hydropower is set to play a major role in addressing the intermittency and grid balancing requirements. Well-maintained hydropower assets offer significant benefits for a long period […]
Transformers are one of the most important components in the electricity grid and are crucial to maintain stable and reliable power supply. A transformer is also the costliest equipment in a substation and is expected […]
