BHEL achieves major breakthrough by developing fuel flexible supercritical boilers

 India’s power generation is mainly coal-based and the power sector is currently plagued by coal shortages where power plants are stranded due to non-availability of indigenous coal supplies. This has triggered a series of companies to either resort to operating the plant on part load due to non-availability of domestic coal or make up for the shortfall by blending indigenous coal with imported coal. The performance of power equipment is dependent on the coal being fed to the power plant.
Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. (BHEL), a Maharatna PSU, has been designing boilers for the past 30 years and has extensive experience of designing boilers fired with indigenous as well as imported coals, exhibiting several variations. Based on BHEL’s extensive experience of working with a great variety of indigenous as well as imported coals over the years, BHEL has developed a new boiler with fuel flexibility of indigenous and imported coals. BHEL is now ready to offer the new boiler design to overcome these issues.
