TECHNOLOGICAL INITIATIVES
Technology driven innovation and adaptation of
best engineering practices have been a source
of strength for NTPC over the years in project
implementation, operation & maintenance as well
as renovation & modernisation. In tune with this
tradition several technological initiatives have been
taken in the areas of Integrated Gasification
Combined Cycle, 765 KV System, Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition and Gas Insulated
Technologies.
The Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle
(IGCC) technology offers opportunities for the
country to increase the conversion efficiency of
coal to the level of 42-45% from the conventional
levels of 35-36%. This offers the twin benefits
of preserving the natural resource of the country
i.e. coal by reducing its consumption and results
in substantial reduction in the CO emission per
2
unit of electricity generated. The challenge lies
in Indianisation of the technology to suit the
high ash Indian coal. Realizing the huge
potential, NTPC, in collaboration with USAID,
has undertaken the selection, assimilation,
Indianisation and commercialisation of the
IGCC technology. Simultaneously as per the
directive of MOP, NTPC and BHEL are
collaborating for setting up a 100 MW IGCC
Demonstration Plant based on Indian coal.
