BHEL successfully renovates and modernizes 110 MW Thermal set at Barauni

14 Mar 2016 Evaluate

Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) has achieved another milestone in its After-Sales-Service business by successfully synchronizing the 110 MW Unit-7 at Barauni Thermal Power Station (TPS) in Bihar following Renovation and Modernisation (R&M). Following the successful R&M, the working life of the machine, that was first commissioned in May, 1985, has been extended by another 15-20 years.

With the successful commissioning of Unit-7 at Barauni TPS, BHEL has once again showcased its inherent strength for R&M and uprating of old thermal power plants through in-house state-of-the-art technology, engineering capabilities and by incorporating the latest products/systems in renovated units. The synchronization of this unit comes close on the heels of the successful re-commissioning of Muzaffarpur Units-1&2 (110 MW each), and uprating of Bhatinda Units-3&4 of PSPCL and Harduaganj Unit-7 of UPRVUNL, from 110 MW to 120 MW. Of the 218 utility sets of 110-210 MW rating supplied by BHEL in the country, about 142 have outlived their designed economic life of 25 years. Of these 142 sets, R&M of 38 sets has already been taken up by the respective utilities.

Power utilities find R&M an opportunity for capacity uprating and life extension, which not only improves their performance level in terms of improving efficiency and reducing emissions but also extends their useful life. Recently, the Ministry of Environment & Forest (MOEF), Government of India, has stipulated stringent emission norms for the power plants installed in the country. R&M capabilities of BHEL will provide effective solutions to utilities for controlling the prescribed emission norms including SOx & NOx control.
