India so as to create indigenous manufacturing
capability. As a result, four joint venture
companies have been set up between international
manufacturers and Indian companies for
manufacturing supercritical boilers/turbogenerator
in the country. To kick start the new
joint ventures, bulk tendering of 11 Nos. 660
MW supercritical units of NTPC & DVC has
been undertaken by NTPC through International
Competitive Bidding (ICB) with the mandatory
condition that the successful bidders would have
to set up manufacturing facilities in India as per
Phased Manufacturing Program (PMP) being
specified in the bid document. CEA has been
actively associated in the whole process and
the progress of PMP would be monitored by a
Committee under CEA.
6.7 Draft Standard Design Criteria/
Guidelines for Balance of Plant
of 2x500 MW (or above) Thermal
Power Projects
Draft Standard Design Criteria/Guidelines
for Balance of Plant of (2x500 MW or above)
Thermal Power Projects was prepared by CEA.
NTPC was also associated in the preparation of
this document. The document covers scope, design
criteria, equipment features and performance
guarantee tests etc. for important equipment
and associated electrical and civil works. Draft
Standard Design Criteria/Guidelines has been
uploaded on CEA website and Power Utilities,
manufacturers and consultants have been
requested for comments.
6.8 Task Force to Examine Technical
Issues related to Solar Power
Plants
A Task Force was constituted by MNRE
under Chairperson, CEA to examine technical
issues related to feasibility of integrating solar
power plants with thermal / hydro-electric
power stations and connectivity of solar roof top
systems with grid. The task force examined the
issues and report was submitted to MNRE.
6.9 Important activities
Following activities were also undertaken
in Thermal Wing of CEA:
1) On request of GERC, a study for normative
operational parameters of heat rate, secondary
fuel oil consumption, auxiliary power
consumption and plant availability/ load
factor was undertaken and recommendations
were furnished to GERC.
2) A Committee was set up by Ministry of
Power (MoP) under the chairmanship of
Member (Thermal), CEA and comprising
members from power utilities and security
agencies for development of Infrastructure
Protection Plan in Thermal Power Sector.
The work of the Committee is under
progress.
3) CEA alongwith M/s. BHEL has taken up
study for development of optimal blending
methodology of Indian coal with imported
coal.
4) Officers of CEA have been involved in
Certification of goods required for UMPP
for grant of Deemed Export benefit.
5) Officers of CEA were represented on
following committees :
a) Committee set up under Member
(Industry), Planning Commission to
examine the disadvantages being faced
by the domestic power equipment
manufacturing industry.
b) Committee to examine dry cooling
system for condenser cooling in thermal
power projects set up by CEA.
c) Committee to review the land
requirement for thermal power plants
set up by CEA.
