BHEL to showcase advanced ultra-supercritical technology for generating clean power
BHEL, the public sector major, is all set to showcase Advanced Ultra-Supercritical Technology (AUSC) that enables cleanest power generation from coal as a fuel.
Nalin Shinghal, CMD, BHEL inaugurated a two day ‘National Conference on AUSC Technology’, in Hyderabad to showcase the path-breaking R&D work being carried out under the AUSC technology development programme for the cleanest coal power generation.
Such higher efficiency is achieved by higher steam temperatures of 710/720oC instead of 540/600oC used in present power plant technology. The technology provides a 10-15 per cent reduction in carbon-di-oxide emission compared to sub-critical technology.
