Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America.
Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.
These were the words of the American author L Frank Baum, better known as the creator of the popular story series, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Indeed, he was right and today, the electricity is referred as the POWER to reflect how vital this energy is in our day-to-day life.
On this count, the generating station of power deserves a special mention. Its upkeep, care and maintenance are of utmost top priority. This can be achieved by the regular as well as periodical power plant performance testing in a scheduled manner. So constant monitoring of the entire operation of the power is a must.
Assessment of a power plant is essential when one considers that India became the world's third largest producer of electricity in the year 2013 with 4.8% global share in electricity generation surpassing Japan and Russia. Both the Indian government and the ADB (Asian Development Bank) had projected India’s growth 2014 -15 as 5.5 per cent, a slight reduction of 0.2% than the earlier estimate of 5.7 per cent. As per the statistics of end August, 2014, power sector in India had an installed capacity of 253.389 GW.
An ideal agency to undertake this task would be one that has also been involved in the design, construction and commissioning of a power plant on a turnkey basis. To cite an instance, the Indian conglomerate Energo India undertakes this exercise after having proved its mettle as a provider of customized power plant solutions. It has been associated in the overall operation of both hydro and thermal power stations at different locations in the country.
Being engaged in allied engineering services including bulk material handling systems, this company has first hand information on the basic inputs in the functioning of the power plants. As one of the prominent conveyor idler manufacturers in India, it is aware of optimum utilization of coal in a power plant. Thus regulated supply of coal and numerous other factors also matter in the overall report on plant performance.
