Heat Rate Efficiency 2021

Improving Net Heat Rate in Thermal Power Plants

21st & 22nd October, 2021 Two Days Pan India Virtual Conference

About the Conference

The conference provides a platform for power producers & technology providers in the sector to showcase various case studies, best practices, innovations, etc.

This conference is designed to support attendees in addressing problems with power plant performance and in spotting cost-effective solutions for achieving and sustaining heat rate improvements.

The objectives of the conference are to provide a forum to exchange knowledge and experience and establish clear priorities for additional research and development to improve power plant heat rates.

Furthermore, the aim is to help in the knowledge enhancement of plant officials with the new advancements in the sector.

Thermal Power – Significance

India at present is the fourth-largest global energy consumer after China, United States and the European Union. Reinforced by a steady rate of GDP growth – India will overtake the European Union by 2030 to move up to the third position in terms of energy consumption globally.

The Power Sector in India is one of the most vibrant in the world, where the foundation of power generation includes an array of sources including both conventional and non-conventional sources.

India’s total installed capacity as on 30 April, 2020 stood at 3,82,730 MW. The country primarily depends upon Thermal Power Plants for electricity generation – Thermal Plants have an installed capacity of 2,34,728 MW (a share of 61.3% of total installed capacity).

Under Thermal, Coal is the single largest source of energy for electricity production. As of May 2021, out of 2,34,728 MW of total thermal capacity, 2,06,675 MW was attributed to Coal (88%).

Why Net Heat Rate?

As India’s dependence on thermal coal fired plants can be evidenced with the statistics mentioned, thus it is imperative to keep a tab on the efficiency measures for these plants – which ultimately brings our focus on the “Net Heat Rate” of Thermal Power Plants.

  • The assessment of performance of a Thermal Power Plant entails observing its “Heat Rate”.
  • Heat rate in the framework of a thermal power plant can be thought of as the input required to yield one unit of output. It generally indicates the amount of fuel required to produce one unit of electricity.
  • The higher the heat rate (i.e. the more energy input that is required to produce one unit of electric output), the lower the efficiency of the power plant.
  • Most power plants have a design heat rate (set target). For a given power plant, heat rate depends several factors such as the power plant’s age, design, level of output, and its operating conditions.
  • Reducing a power plant’s heat rate can significantly lower fuel consumption and thus lower its costs which can be ultimately passed onto the final consumer.
  • A heat rate improvement program typically provides sufficient information for decision making with respect to timely maintenance actions, operational adjustments, and physical modifications.

These investments coupled with proactive maintenance improvements like checking leakages and cycle optimization are typically applied by power plants.
