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