Performance Analysis of Coal fired Power Plants in India
With over 150GW of installed capacity and around 723.8 BUs of electricity generation during 2008-09, India remains the 5 largest consumer of electricity in the world. Coal fired power plants account for more than half of the installed capacity and caters to more than 65% of the power demand. Against the prevalent practice of ratio analysis being used for the performance estimation, the study us...
متن کاملEstimates of Emissions from Coal Fired Thermal Power Plants in India
Coal is the primary fuel for electricity generation in India and its usage is continuously increasing to meet the energy demands of the country. This paper presents emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitric oxide (NO) from thermal power plants in India for a period of nine years from 2001-02 to 2009-10. The emission estimates are based on a model in which the mass emis...
متن کاملThe Impact of Electricity Sector Restructuring on Coal-fired Power Plants in India
We examine whether the unbundling of generation from transmission and distri bution services at state-owned power plants in India improved operating effi ciency at these power plants. Between 1995 and 2009, 85 percent of coal-based generation capacity owned by state governments was unbundled from vertically integrated State Electricity Boards into state generating companies. We find that gene...
متن کاملMercury concentrations in wetlands associated with coal-fired power plants.
There have been contradictory reports of the relative proportion of mercury from coal-fired power plants that deposits locally. Our objective was to determine any local effect of coal-fired power plants on total mercury concentrations in wetland sediment and tadpole samples. Four power plants and 45 wetlands were selected for study. Total mercury concentrations were determined in 75 sediment sa...
متن کاملTechnologies for Reducing Emissions in Coal-Fired Power Plants
ly coal combustion, are major contributors to air pollution. Concentrations of suspended particles and sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the air of many cities in developing countries exceed World Health Organization standards1. The effects of this pollution on human health can be devastating and in the most seriously affected countries the economic costs are estimated to be a significant percentage of G...
