State-owned engineering firm BHEL announced Wednesday that it has commissioned Unit-1 of 84 MW at Chhukha hydro electric project in Bhutan.<\/p>\n
It has achieved yet another milestone in Bhutan with the successful commissioning of Unit-1 of the 4×84 MW Chhukha hydro electric project (HEP), following complete renovation and modernisation (R&M) of the generator, BHEL said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Unit-3 of the same project, built on the Chhukha River (Bhutan), was earlier commissioned by BHEL, after successful R&M last year, and has been running efficiently since, according to the statement.<\/p>\n
With the commissioning of Unit-1, the engineering firm has successfully executed the R&M contract for 2 units (Units-1&3), thereby consolidating its position further in Bhutan and rising up to the expectations of the customer, Druk Green Power Corporation (DGPC).<\/p>\n
“We appreciate the efforts made by BHEL experts towards this R&M work which has led to result-oriented performance and we look forward to continued support from BHEL in future,” DGPC said in their commendation letter.<\/p>\n
The corporation had placed the R&M order for Chhukha hydro power plant on BHEL for replacement of generator stator and rotor coils of units – 1 & 3. These machines were originally supplied and commissioned by BHEL in the 1980s.<\/p>\n
The BHEL’s units in Bhopal and Bengaluru have provided the equipment and technical supports for this R&M job.<\/p>\n
The company has executed major projects like Chhukha, Kurichu and Tala in Bhutan till date and is presently executing prestigious export orders for 6×200 MW Punatsangchhu-I, 6×170 MW Punatsangchhu-II and 4×180 MW Mangdechhu projects, which once commissioned would take BHEL’s share to 93 per cent of the total power generating capacity of Bhutan.<\/p>\n
It is presently executing hydro-electric projects of around 3,000 MW across the country, in addition to 3,904 MW abroad, which includes 2,940 MW in Bhutan and 900 MW in Nepal.<\/p>\n
More than 500 hydro-electric generating sets of various ratings have been ordered on the BHEL with a cumulative capacity of more than 30,000 MW, including 6,680 MW for overseas projects.<\/p>\n
BHEL’s hydro plants are successfully performing in India and across the world, including countries such as Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bhutan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Rwanda, Thailand, New Zealand, Nepal and Vietnam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
