The upgraded units will support a potential annual savings of 2.12 lakh metric tonnes per annum in coal consumption for the power plant
New Delhi: GE Power India Limited (GEPIL) and its associate companies in consortium with NGSL have completed the Steam Turbine Renovation and Modernization Project at NTPC's Ramagundam, Super Thermal Power Station.
GEPIL said, “The steam turbine upgrade project has enabled NTPC's Ramagundam Power Plant Units 1 and 3 to achieve an average 9.9% improvement in turbine heat rate, increase turbine life by 20 years and an average +3.8% point improvement in thermal efficiency of both the units. supported." A release on Wednesday.
The upgraded units will support a potential annual savings of 2.12 lakh metric tonnes per annum in coal consumption for the power plant. "The project reduces CO2 emissions by 2.34 lakh metric tonnes/year for the region and is in line with the government's target of Net Zero by 2070," GEPIL said.
The combined additional 20 MW generated from both units will provide electricity to approximately 44,100 Indian homes. The reduction in CO2 emissions is equivalent to 141,200 cars taken off the road.
“Parts of the project requirements were met locally from India, including LP turbine fabrication, supplied by the GE facility in Sanand, Gujarat, and sourcing of critical ancillary components from various vendors in India. This supports the 'Make in India' initiative by the government," GEPIL said.
“I am extremely proud of the team that delivered results that exceed and exceed the customer agreed. This project supports India's decarbonization story with solutions aided by more efficient and flexible power generation solutions. The objective is to increase power, efficiency and reliability while reducing emissions and better position the country to meet future energy demands." Prashant Jain, RGM - GE Steam Power and MD - GE Power India Ltd.
In 2017, GE Steam Power completed a first-of-its-kind steam turbine shaft line retrofit in India for BHEL 200-MW-class units at Ukai Thermal Power Station. It was intended to increase power, efficiency and reliability while reducing emissions. The retrofit extended the unit's life to 25 years, and restored its output back to its original capacity of 200 MW.
