1. Presentation of Energy Efficient Renovation & Modernization (R&M) By H.S.Bedi Sr. Vice President (Power Engineering and Energy Services)

2.  India’s plan is for 8-9% of GDP growth; which would require corresponding growth in electricity generation  Coal based electricity generation capacity is 54.8% by March 2011 (99,503 MW out of total of 181,558 MW)  By 2030,it may reach around 450,000 MW  This would lead to  Huge Investment needs  Depletion of natural resources (coal & water)  Higher emissions to environment EE R&M: Present National Scenario

3.  Renewable Sources of Power Generation  New Capacity Addition  Renovation & Modernization (R&M)of old plants(>25 years)  Energy Conservation  Supply Side and Demand Side Management EE R&M: Power Generation Options - Feasible Alternatives

4.  Grid Access/Switchyard.  Cooling water Availability.  Access to Infrastructure.  Permission for Power generation and evacuation.  Fuel Supply agreements.  Trained Operation and Maintenance Personnel.  Administrative facilities and residential accommodation EE R&M of old PS: Comparative Edge owing to existing facilities

5. EE R&M of old PS: Improvement required in 25 years old units Due to continuous operation, many of the plant equipment and system have undergone ageing process, resulting in:-  Reduced output.  Technological Obsolescence. Large number of smaller capacity, very old units like 50 / 62.5/100/210/500 MW are operating with poor efficiency, which may become techno- economically viable after RLA and Energy Audit study.

6. The concept in R&M has recently shifted from primarily generation maximization & remaining life extension, to performance enhancement at the same time that is Energy Efficiency, Net heat rate (NHR) Improvement.  Coal is an exhaustible natural resource. Hence, its saving by way of increasing old plants efficiency is desirable. EE-R&M helps in lowering specific coal consumption, increased plant availability hence it’s cost effective. Present day R&M concept: Energy efficiency Enhancement

7.  Old plants can be renovated and Modernized at lower costs and optimum life extension is achieved.  R&M implementation is carried out during longer / annual shut down, there by assuring sustained power to users.  Availability and efficiency can be improved.  Energy Conservation, reduction in Aux. power consumption & performance improvement is achieved, new tech. adopted.  No R&R problems.  For new plants Limited availability of new site, land, water and road etc. and power evacuation.  High initial cost, longer gestation period of new plant.  To comply to Stringent Environmental and safety norms.  Coal, Water Linkages and Land Litigation becoming hurdles in Green/Brown Field Plants EE R&M of old plants Vs new plants: Comparative Edge

8.  The benefits accrued from EE-R&M in a typical 200/210 MW (LMZ) steam turbine unit include: Restoration / Increased output by about 3 to 5 % of the design rating. Improved unit heat rate by 2 to 2.5 % of design value resulting in fuel saving. Extending Plant Life by about 15-20 years with very low outages Additional economical power generation from old units becomes available in short duration. Present day R&M concept: Energy efficiency Enhancement

9.  Performance evaluation and conductance of energy audit of the old units is most desirable in addition to RLA study of complete plant for designing the scope of work for EE R&M. Present day R&M concept: Energy efficiency Enhancement

10.  To enhance Life of Units by 15-20 years.  Improve PLF above 85%,  Increase availability above 90%,  Up-gradation/Restoration of Rated Load considering the present worst coal GCV.  Reduction in Auxiliary consumption  Ensure emission level (SPM) sustained below 50-70 mg/Nm 3 at full load.  To evaluate the different option of up-rating the unit.  To improve unit net heat rate as compared to design. Key objectives of the EE-R&M study

11.  Go through QCBS procedure of selection and select the best agency  Selection may be in 70:30 weight ratio for selection of key design specialist of Boiler, Turbine, C&I, Generator, BOP etc. and Price.  Mere selection on L1 basis may not meet your objectives of study  Judge the technical capability also, based on(not only QR):- ask for Procedure/methodology to be followed and grade accordingly ask for manpower available presently and to be deployed, can one keep provision to ensure at site? ask to submit list of calibrated instruments to be used for measurements of the Parameters  Right Selection process  Selection of Right agency  Right Study and evaluation  Meeting the objectives Selection of EE R&M Design Consultant

12. Preliminary Survey Carrying out RLA & Report preparation Conducting Energy Audit & Report preparation Preparation of Technical Audit Report Step- I Step- II Preparation of DPR, techno-economic viability of various options Step- III Tenderization process up to order finalization and handing over the job to ISC Step – IV Providing support to owner during execution of job (optional) Plant may take guidance from R&M Design Consultant Services offered by a design consultant:

13. 1. Review previous studies carried out on the unit 2. Carrying out technical audit of the various equipment and related BoP 3. Undertake energy audit for baseline assessment of the entire unit 4. Undertake RLA/LE study of Boiler, Turbine including steam path audit, Generator & electrical equipment & Civil structures and foundations of unit. 5. Prepare an exhaustive list of Run/Repair/Replace decision Matrix for various equipment including Valves, Hangers and Supports, Expansion Joints, Ducts, Insulation, Motors, Cables, Pumps, Fans, C&I equipment, Impulse lines, etc 6. Assess techno-economically various R&M options Steps of activities of design consultancy

14. 7.Prepare the detailed Scope of Works with cost estimate and assess the cost effectiveness of alternative rehabilitation options including new Units and suggest the optimum solution 8. Prepare a DPR giving the various options (including scope of work in each option), techno-economic financial analysis of various options and recommend the best option for Energy Efficient rehabilitation project including strategy for dealing with surprises. 9. Prepare the Bidding documents both Technical and Commercial. 10. Assist the owner through the bidding process 11. Assist in Post bid discussions and award. Steps of activities of design consultancy
