Manual on best practices in Indian Thermal Power Generating Units Ø Identify and collate the best practices in Indian power plants which can be suitably fine tuned and replicated in various power plants to move towards achieving the benchmarking figures. Identify the best operating parameters for coal and Gas based thermal power plants Hence, to catalyze and facilitate performance improvement of power generating units CII-Godrej Green Business Centre has initiated the project “Make Indian power plants world Class”. Reduction in Green house gas emissions and Global warming Reduction in power generation cost and thereby improving the competitiveness of Indian industry Increased power generation and there by reducing the demand supply gap The performance improvement of individual thermal power generating units will help in achieving Ø In the present scenario, apart from capacity augmentation, there is an immense need to improve the performance of the individual thermal power generating units. The average plant load factor of the thermal power generating units is 74.8%.* (* Source: Ministry of power website – v Thermal power generating units contribute 66.4% of total installed capacity.

The total installed capacity of the power generating units is about 1,24,310 MW. Presently the energy deficit is about 8.3% and the power shortage during the peak period is about 12.5%.* The power sector needs to grow at the rate of 12% to maintain the present GDP growth of 8%.* Power sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in India, which essentially supports the economic growth. Mission to International Power Plants – Imbibing next technologies Performance Improvement – Reliability & Availability Performance Improvement – Heat Rate & Auxiliary Power Consumption
