enhanced need of the region. With industrial development receiving
highest priority, this nascent state has taken up several infrastructural
developments. With the urbanization and increased use of power for
irrigation, has created a level of demand, which has outstripped the
growth of power generation in the state. Several projects have been
identified from time to time meeting the growing demand of power. This
is one of identified projects.

1.2 Installed capacity of Chhattisgarh system at the end of 10th plan was
6839.7 MW including own generation, share from various central sector
projects. As per the 17th EPS, peak load of Chhattisgarh system peak
load at the end of 12th plan will be 5375 MW and 7279 MW by end of
year 2016-17. Considering the utilization factors of 70% Chhattisgarh
system requires about 7628 MW & 10398 MW by the year 2021-22 by
the year 2016-17. In order to bridge the gap between power demand
and supply generating projects will have to be planned & executed.
Keeping in view the growth rate of power demand in the State of
Chhattisgarh. Justification of the project is discussed in Chapter - 2.

4.0 UNIT RATING AND TYPE OF BOILER FOR THE PROJECT

4.1 Unit Rating

The plant is proposed to be established on the basis of unitized system.


The 500 MW capacity can be built up by:-

i. 2 units of 250 MW
ii. 1 unit of 500 MW

The plant is proposed to be built, based upon selection of configuration


to achieve:-

i) Economy of scale to achieve least per MW installed cost.

ii) Better efficiency of large sized boiler and steam turbine and lower
overall heat rate.

iii) Lower land requirement.

iv) Economical O&M cost aspects

v) Lower staff requirement and accordingly colony size.

vi) Higher net saleable power on account of higher efficiency and


lower auxiliary power consumption.

To achieve better efficiency of the plant and more competitive tariff a


higher size unit of 500 MW can be adopted However the outage of unit
will result in total loss of the plant capacity. A configuration of 2x250
MW will be advantageous as at least 50% of generation is available
with the outage of one unit. The plant capacity with two generating

A Development Service for Industries & Utilities

Certificate No.07/170/J
CHHATTISGARH STATE POWER GENERATION COMPANY LIMITED Sheet - 20

units also gives flexibility in operation by adjusting load as per supply &
load demand.

Thus a unit size of 250 MW would be optimum considering relevant


aspects. 250 MW units are already in operation at a number of
stations in the country and adequate expertise in operation and
maintenance are locally available.

4.2 Boiler Technology for the Plant

On a general comparison of pulverized fuel boiler and CFBC boiler it


emerges that fluidized bed boiler are about 1% less efficient and cost is
higher than conventional pulverized fuel boiler. Unburnt carbon loss is
1 to 1.5% less in PF boiler and auxiliary consumption is also 9% as
compared to 11% in CFBC boiler. In case of the project at Banji-
Bundali domestic coal contains about 0.5% sulphur, therefore the SO2
emission will be well within the limits. Keeping in view of
characteristics of coal and project cost economy, pulverized fuel
technology is preferred than CFBC technology for boilers of the
proposed unit 2x250 MW Bundali TPP.
