Gas-based power plants back in demand-I: Indian grid dynamics have changed.
|
Aug 20:
At long last, combine cycle gas based power plant are back in demand. And they will not be subsidy driven this time around.
8The expansion of the renewable industry will not mean that gas based power plants will be increasingly called upon to fill up the gap in power supply in the absence of large scale energy storage systems.
8This is part of a major shift now on in the Indian power sector, in which conventional power plants shift from baseload to intermediate load operation
8Indian power grid operators recently recommended the need for power plants to have fast load ramp-ups and shorter low-load and start-up time to ensure stable grid in the face of increasing injection of intermittent renewable energy.
8The demand for ancillary services such as provision of control reserves and frequency support, as well as tertiary control reserves along with consequential load-follow operation has gone up.
8New operating dynamics, never seen earlier, have now emerged, such as two-shift operation, load-follow operation, island operation, black start capability, frequency support and very high start-up and operating reliability.

Gas-based power plants back in demand-II: Changes coming in the next few months.
|
Aug 20:
This is where gas based power plants will now step in. And the change in coming quickly, within the coming few months.
8The pattern of dispatch of combine cycle gas turbines (CCFTs).
8There will be a general shift for CCGTs from base load to flexible operation.
8Flexible operation is broadly defined as any mode of operation other than base load, such as a two-shift operation and load following.
8Two shift operations will mean starting up and shutting down a plant each day to meet load demand during periods of high demand.

Gas-based power plants back in demand-III: After test, an all-India roll out likely of working model.
|
Aug 20:
Gas suppliers were recently contacted by India's grid operators to help out with two-shift gas plant operations.
8There was some initial reservations as such operations would lead to luctuations in pipeline pressure which would affect the others connected to their supply system.
8But it is now learnt that least one of them have agreed to try out the experiment8
8A mock test is proposed to be carred out at the end of the month in one power plant wherein a gas turbine would be scheduled for 2-3 hours of operation during the evening peak to examine the level of pressure fluctuations in the gas pipelines.
8On successful completion of the trial, the proposed two shift operation would be implemented.
8The energy generated during this mock test will be scheduled to the beneficiaries of the respective generating stations.
8f the system holds out, gas based power plants across the country will be moved into double shift. And nearly all of them will start pumping out power once again, given India's growing appetite for flexible power..
8If the demand for gas from the Indian power sector picks up in this manner, the gas supply industry in India is in for a major boost

False reporting behind high pollution levels in India
|
Aug 20:
The real reason why pollution is so rampant in India is due to false reporting of data
8The rules are all in place but polluters just do not follow them
859% of the industrial plants whose audits were back-checked by an independent agency were found to be polluting above the standard.
8The other place where fraud occurs is at the auditing level. Monitoring reports carried out by accredited third-party labs were found to be heavily biased. For instance, independent back-check pollution readings were 0.3 standard deviations higher than the readings produced in official audits. In other words, 29% of industries were falsely reported to be in compliance.
8A new study claims that pollution an be brought down by simple measures:
-- Install real time emission monitors and check the data remotely
-- Publicize the list of polluters to build public pressure
-- Move to fines instead of heavy fisted criminal penalties
-- Introduce emission trading
-- Introduce a different set of incentives to get auditors to report correct data
-- Introduce Odd-Even driving restrictions during times of heavy pollution, as data shows that this works

Wide difference between anticipated and actual demand: Need for better planning
|
Aug 20:
The differentials between anticipated and actual power consumption continued to remain high in July
8In many states the differential is more than 5%
8This has provoked grid managers to emphasize once again on the need for scientific and realistic demand projections
8There is a need to revamp the available portfolio of demand projection tools
8There was concern expressed over what happened on 21st June,2018, when the frequency level was below 49.9 Hz. for 33% of time, sparking alarm across the grod

FDGs: Various kinds of incentives mulled
|
|
Aug 20:
The incentive mechanism for installing FDGs by thermal power plants is still being investigated.
8The levy of a penalty on defaulters is under under review
8If timelines are not followed, generators may find them climbing several steps down the merit order dispatch ladder
8Already regulatory commissions has given the direction that increases in variable charges will be absorbed as it is due to "change in the law".
8Among what is in discussion is not just priority in scheduling but also exemption in excise and customs duty and or GST, relaxation in 30% equity norms, utilization of NCEF collected coal cess and reduction in coal cess for environmentally complaint TPPs.
8Meanwhile, some generators have been galvanized into action. NTPC for example is trying to advance its installation schedules by up to one year

Promoter finds it difficult to extract bank guarantee after and acquisition attempt fails
|
Aug 20:
One of the reasons why the power industry in India had been in trouble is because it has always been mired in red tape and heavy institutional regulations.
8Here is a power company which gave a Rs 200 crore bank guarantee to to get a pithead super thermal power station along with a captive coal mine going
8But the beneficiary state utility was meant to acquire the land but failed to do so
8The promoter has gone ahead and acquired the requisite private land that it was made to acquire
8But the acquisition of government and forest land got held over
8The promoter is now demanding that the bank guarantee be released
8The process has slowed down, and the power ministry is now figuring out whether performance benchmarks were indeed set for the promoter
8And if so, whether he fulfilled the conditions or not
8It will be a long while before the promoter gets his money back, it seems from way the proceedings are going as of now
