State-run Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) today said it has commissioned a 520-mw coal-based thermal power unit in Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n
“The unit has been commissioned at the 2×520 mw Vizag Thermal Power Project of Hinduja National Power Company Limited (HNPCL), Visakhapatnam,” the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“Significantly, in Visakhapatnam district, four 500 mw thermal sets supplied and executed by BHEL are already in successful operation at Simhadri Super Thermal Power Station of NTPC,” it said.<\/p>\n
The 2×520 mw Vizag thermal power project is being executed by BHEL on engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis, it added.<\/p>\n
“This project is located on the coast of the Bay of Bengal. Notably, this project uses single flow condenser and sea water as main cooling water,” it said.<\/p>\n
The project was severely affected by the Hudhud cyclone in 2014 while it was under construction.<\/p>\n
The restoration was carried out by BHEL on war-footing and the first unit has been commissioned successfully. The second unit of this project is also in an advanced stage of completion, it said.<\/p>\n
Recently, BHEL has secured prestigious orders for setting up two supercritical thermal power projects involving one unit each of the country’s highest rating 800 mw sets, in Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n
“The projects are 1×800 MW Dr Narla Tata Rao Thermal Power Station (Dr NTTPS) Stage-V of Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Ltd (APGENCO) and 1×800 MW Sri Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Station (SDSTPS) Stage-II, popularly known as Krishnapatnam Supercritical Thermal Power Project, of Andhra Pradesh Power Development Company Ltd. (APPDCL),” it said.<\/p>\n
BHEL has already commissioned 5,010 MW of power plants in the utility sector during 2015-16 fiscal and is on track to achieve the target set by the government for the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
