Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) has achieved yet another milestone by commissioning a 160 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) in Rajasthan. The commissioning of the steam turbine on May 1, has enabled the gas turbine, which was commissioned earlier, to operate in combined cycle mode. Reposing confidence in BHEL’s proven technological excellence, Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam (RRVUNL) had placed the order on the company, for setting up a Frame 9E Gas Turbine-based 160 MW CCPP as an expansion project (Stage III) of Ramgarh power plant in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan.

With the commissioning of Stage III, the cumulative capacity of Ramgarh CCPP has now reached 273.8 MW, taking the gas based generating capacity of RRVUNL to 603.8 MW. The main plant equipment of all these gas-based units has been supplied and commissioned by BHEL.

Significantly, BHEL has been RRVUNL’s major partner in its power generating capacity addition program. BHEL has commissioned 4,344 MW of thermal and gas-based sets in Rajasthan which amounts to 88% of the utility’s thermal & gas generating capacity. For RRVUNL, BHEL is also executing the 250 MW Unit 4 at Chhabra TPS, which is expected to be commissioned in May, 2014, and the 2x660 MW super-critical units at Suratgarh TPS.

BHEL’s scope of work in the contract envisaged design, engineering, manufacture, supply, erection and commissioning of the Main Plant & equipment for the Gas-based power project comprising one Frame 9E Gas Turbine with Generator, one Heat Recovery Steam Generator, one Steam Turbine Generator and Associated Auxiliaries with state-of-the-art Controls & Instrumentation (C&I) system. The equipment for the project was supplied by BHEL’s Hyderabad, Trichy and Bangalore plants, while BHEL’s Power Sector - Northern Region undertook erection and commissioning of the equipment.
