Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) has successfully commissioned another 600 MW thermal unit in Chhattisgarh. The unit was commissioned at Dainik Bhaskar Power’s (DBPL) upcoming 2x600 MW thermal power project located at Dhabra in Janjgir Champa District of Chhattisgarh. This is the second unit of this power project, commissioned by the company. The first 600 MW unit was successfully commissioned by the company in 2014.
BHEL’s scope of work in the contract envisaged design, engineering, manufacture, supply, erection and commissioning of Steam Turbines, Generators and Boilers, along with associated Auxiliaries and Electricals, besides state-of-the-art Controls & Instrumentation (C&I) and Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs).
BHEL has been a partner in the power development programme of the state of Chhattisgarh. With a cumulative installed capacity of 11,40O MW, the share of BHEL sets stands at 68% of the total installed capacity in the state.
Notably, this in-house engineered 4-cylinder 600 MW rating TG set establishes the engineering capability of BHEL. The company has so far contracted sets of 600 MW sets, out of which twelve have already been commissioned. A large number of similar sets ensure easy availability of spares and operator's familiarity.
BHEL supplied thermal sets meet the performance standards notified by CEA, as per a recent CEA study on the performance of sub-critical sets in the country, BHEL supplied sets have demonstrated a better operating Heat rate resulting in less coal consumption per unit of power produced.
