Efficiency Improvements
Some of the Myths
High PLF & availability translates into Optimum Efficiency Heat rate is the responsibility of Efficiency Management Group at Stations Equipment maintenance to be taken-up based on periodic overhaul schedule Boiler performance degradations has no relation to Turbine Cycle performance Heat rate improvement requires large investment. Results follow immediately after testing is completed.

Conclusion
CenPEEP the flagship project of USAID, USDOE-NETL, and NTPC - a resource center & Institution for efficiency improvements The CenPEEP-USAID model of acquisition, demonstration, and dissemination of new techniques: proved to be very effective Systems, like Efficiency Management System (EMS), Risk Evaluation, Overhauling Preparedness Index (OPI), and associated practices, etc., introduced in NTPC and found very useful Good potential available for efficiency improvement in existing state utilities and medium to low in central and private utilities; Low hanging fruits with limited investment Correct Performance assessment is an essential pre-requisite; focus to be on individual equipment degradations CenPEEP will continue to play a critical role in performance analysis and diagnostics & introduction of new techniques

Conclusion
Existing business environment and constraints provides excellent business opportunities in Indian power sector. The major areas are: Performance diagnostics using state-of-art analysis tools & models Specialized services for repair/maintenance activities for critical equipments including in-situ repairs during overhauls Manufacturing facilities for equipment spares upgradation and reverse engineering Specialized services of remote monitoring and advisory support to the generating stations (i.e., Fleet-Wide Monitoring System) Specialized training in the area of efficiency monitoring Service providers needed to cater to demands of rapid expanding Indian power sector
