About The Conference
Market Scenario
In the last three years, India has registered a massive addition to its conventional power capacity. As of March 2024, the total installed thermal capacity is about 242.99 GW out of which 210.97GW is attributed to be generated from coal while the rest is generated from diesel, gas and lignite. Out of the total thermal energy production, about 52.3 per cent is generated by the private sector with the rest being produced by the Centre and the state. Owing to the growing environmental concerns and the need to switch to more reliable sustainable methods of energy production, the thermal power plant sector needs to veer towards more flexible operations.
In order to switch to flexible power plant operations, there are three dimensions that call for attention.
Low, minimum load operation
Short, efficient start-ups
Shut-down and high amp rates
Flexibility Measures that can be adopted at Plant level
In India, most thermal power plants are coal fired units. In order to switch them to a flexible mode of functioning, there needs to be a different set of measures that are employed at the operation, maintenance and administration levels respectively.
Raising Awarness
Amplifying the need for flexible operations requires educating the staff working on-site and off-site in addition to explaining the benefits of flexible operation on the O&M of the plant. Organizing the required training sessions for different sections of staff involved and explaining to them the commercial impacts of the switch are both equally important.
Checking the status of the plant
Identifying the bottlenecks and limitations of the plant by consulting with OEMs and assessing the influence that low load operation, pressure and temperature have. At the base load, the smooth operation of all control loops also needs to be ensured.
Planning and executing test runs
This is an important step to evaluate the potential of plant flexibility. Evaluating the plant’s current setup and its performance in terms of normal load, start-up and cycling and identifying its limitations and potential for improvement.
Optimizing the I&C system
In order to make the whole switch even more cost-efficient, automation of the process is of utmost importance. Implementing smooth control systems and optimizing control loops are a basic requisite.
Optimizing Combustion
In order to ensure minimum load operation, it is important to ensure the following:
-Optimizing air flow management
-Adapting the boiler protection system at low load operation
-Flame detection for every individual burner
-Operating with a reduced number of mills
-Being transparent about the quality of coal and its composition
Implementing mitigation measures
This involves a reassessment of all O&M procedures along with the quality of water and steam and maintenance strategies.
Improving Plant Efficiency
Tapping into the potential of water-steam cycle like frequency support by condensate stop and optimising the HP heater. Formulating measures to enhance the performance of different equipment and components like feed water pumps, FD, ID and PA fans.
Automating the Control Procedures
Manual operation is always at a disadvantage in comparison to automated operation. Some options that can be automated are:
- Mill operation
- Flue gas temperature control
- Steam temperature control
- Starting of pumps and fans
Tackling the Challenges Involved
It is also imperative to keep in mind that this process of change involves adopting a holistic approach. The Instrumentation and Control (I&C) system is pivotal in ensuring flexible operation. Factors such as plant status transparency, comprehensive data assessment, ready access to operating data and advanced control systems are important prerequisites for flexible operations in thermal power plants. Apart from ensuring reliable, efficient and environmentally sustainable operations, flexible operations are highly cost-effective riddled with numerous other benefits.
The Flexible Operations in Thermal Power Plants: A Focus on India conference aims at discussing strategies and sharing valuable insights to bring about synchronicity among all sources of power generation in order to devise a way for flexibility in thermal power generation.
