Emerson Process Management has completed automating a new 800-megawatt; supercritical thermal power-generating unit owned by APPDCL, a special purpose entity of APGENCO, the Andhra Pradesh state government power generation utility. This is the first state-owned supercritical power station being built in India. Located in Krishnapatnam, the Sri Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Station is a US$ 2 billion investment by APGENCO that will provide new, low-emissions generation capacity to support the region’s rapid economic growth.
The new power station uses supercritical boiler/turbine technology that operates at higher temperatures than traditional coal-fired units, boosting the efficiency of electricity generation while reducing carbon and other emissions. Emerson’s automation technology has been selected for more than 300 of these complex units worldwide, 10 of which are located in India.
