This project comprised the development of a thermal power plant with an installed capacity of 2 x 130 MW, designed to operate on a combination of coal and process gas generated from an adjacent industrial facility. The plant was located on a 250 acre site with provisions for future capacity addition.
The steam generators were designed to fire coal and process gas in any proportion, offering high operational flexibility. Each boiler delivered 415 tonnes per hour of superheated steam at 131 kg per square centimetre pressure and 540 degrees Celsius temperature. The turbines were designed as multi cylinder units operating at 3000 rpm, delivering 130 MW output per unit.
The generators were rated at 162.5 MVA with a terminal voltage of 10.5 kV and frequency of 50 Hz. Power evacuation was carried out through a 230 kV switchyard, ensuring reliable grid connectivity.
The plant achieved an annual energy generation of 1934 million units at 85 percent PLF, contributing significantly to regional power availability while optimising fuel utilisation.
TCE’s Scope
TCE was engaged from the feasibility stage and subsequently appointed as owner’s engineer during project execution. The scope included preparation of feasibility studies, review of contractor drawings and construction schedules, contract administration and coordination with statutory authorities. TCE supported monitoring of engineering and construction activities to ensure adherence to technical requirements and execution milestones.
Impact
TCE’s involvement enabled coordinated execution of a dual fuel thermal power project with integrated coal and process gas firing systems. The structured oversight ensured consistency across boiler systems, turbine generator units and balance of plant facilities, supporting commissioning and sustained operation under varying fuel conditions.
