➢Due to the low load operation overall efficiency of our units has gone down.
➢ Still we have changed our practices and implemented new methodologies
to improve upon the efficiency during low load operation (these are described
later) which is visible in FY 2018-19 where despite more back down we have
improved the SHR.

➢From July 2017 the testing of coal samples at loading end & unloading end was
started by Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research(CIMFR).
➢CIMFR gave a contract to some 3rd Party for sample collection. It started giving
results after around 6 months on rigorous persuasions. These results were quite
unrealistic.
➢In some rakes we found GCV of unloading end to be more than loading end. In
some other rakes it was found to be very high for raw coal.
➢So we raised some referee challenge as per the agreement. Now the results of
referee challenges of July to Nov 17 have come after 1.5 years.
Average Average

Original Result Referee Result
SECL 3699 3615 -84
NCL 3607 3495 -112
➢It clearly shows that the GCV results given by CIMFR were on higher side which
has resulted in Higher SHR.
➢If we take CIMFR results higher by average 100 Kcal/KWh, Then our SHR of
2017-18 would have been around 2584 and the SHR of 2018-19 would have been
around 2547. Which are comparable to 2016-17.
➢Considering more back down SHR of 2017-18 and 2018-19 are better.
➢These results can not be incorporated now as the billing was already
completed.

Information on Benchmarks
The data regarding performance of Power Plants are not made public by
most of the utilities. Most of the Power Plants only publish data regarding
Plant Load Factor(PLF). In today’s environment PLF is not proper indicator
of performance as the PLF depends on demand, various PPA’s, Inter state
agreements, Renewable Power availability etc.
The Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission (RERC) give us benchmarks
which are :

CERC allows compensation to Generating Power Station for losses on account of
frequent back down / boxed up as per the instructions of SLDC(State Load
Dispatch Center) in the following parameters:
Station Heat Rate (SHR)- 50 to 150 Kcal/KWh as per the % of Backdown
Auxiliary Power Consumption-0.35 to 1 % as per the % of Backdown
Oil consump. on account of Start-ups-20 to 50 Kl/startup as per type of start up
We in our state do not get any compensation from RERC with regards to frequent
back down / boxed up, while we are facing back down / boxed up for about 50 %
time. This is the main reason that we are not been able to achieve the RERC
Benchmark.

• 3 Mill operation in U# 3 & 4 during partial load conditions resulted in saving
of 30-35 Amp current in each unit. Taking into account the PLF of 63 % for
Stage-II and sent out cost of KSTPS as Rs 3.04 the total saving of Approx.
Rs.53 Lacs achieved in the year.
• During winter season and low load conditions, due to low river water
temperature the vacuum in stage II improved. Sensing this as an opportunity,
Unit # 3 & 4 were run with 3 CWPs (1460 KW) instead of 4 Nos. with minimal
drop in vacuum able to save 139 Amps of 6.6 KV supply.
• Reduction in running of Raw Water pumps (365 KW HT Motor) from 3 to 2
resulted in saving of 32 Amp .
• Above efforts for optimum running of CW & Raw Water Pumps resulted in
total saving of Approx. Rs. 70 Lacs in the year.
➢2017-18
• Drum level control by BFP (4000 KW HT Motor) scoop scheme implemented
resulting in saving of approx. 10 Amp. in each unit# 5, 6 & 7 Saving App.
Rs.46 Lacs.
• Saving in running hours of 1 No. BCW pump in Stage-I (i.e. 4 Nos. to 3 Nos.)
when both units were in operation.
• Adopted modern LED Lightings as energy conservation project which resulted
in better illumination with less energy consumption.
▪ Existing 110 Nos. 70W HPSV well glass fittings replaced with 36 W LED
Lights.
▪ Existing 170 Nos. 36W Conventional FTL having copper ballast replaced
with 18W LED Lights.
▪ Existing 93 Nos. 250W HPSV well glass fittings replaced with 120 W LED
Lights.
▪ Adopting LED lightings resulted in total saving of Approx. Rs. 4 Lacs in the
year.

▪ Oxygen at APH I/L was optimized from 3.5% to 2.5% . It was observed that
at full load the blade pitch control opening remains between 10-15%.
▪ During low load conditions the blade pitch opening reduced to minimum
and Oxygen at APH I/L remained above 3.5%.
▪ It was decided to analyse the effects of single FD fan operation. The analysis
of unit tripping on FD fan failure during last 5 years showed that there was
no such tripping.
▪ Considering all aspects it was decided to run the Unit on single FD Fan first
during low load operation. Then it was implemented for full load operation
as well.

▪ In addition to current saving , it has provided better total air flow control as
blade pitch opening increased to 50 – 60% at full load. Fan efficiency
improved. We are able to maintain Oxygen during low load conditions.

Drum Level Control Through BFP scoop (Zero DP across feed water valve) in
Unit# 3 to 7:
▪ Originally drum level auto control for 210 MW units was designed to
control drum level by throttling FW control valve through three element
control scheme.
▪ As per scheme DP across FW control station was maintained around 8
kg/cm2 by BFP scoops.
▪ Throttling of FW control valve lead to loss of energy.
▪ After detailed analysis , it was decided to modify the scheme to increase
the opening of FW control valve
▪ Accordingly the drum level control scheme modified to control drum level
by modulating BFP scoop through three element control scheme. FW
control valve has been kept full open.

▪ This has eliminated the throttling energy loss across FW control valve.
▪ This has resulted in reduction of BFP discharge pressure by 8 Kg/cm2. Due
to this saving in BFPs (4000 KW) current to the tune of 10 Amps has been
achieved in each unit which is around 90 KW per unit.
▪ This reflects to approximate saving of 75 Lacs per year taking into account
the PLF of 63 % for Unit 3 to 7 and sent out cost of KSTPS as Rs 3.04.
▪ Unit 1 & 2 are 36 yrs. old 110 MW LMZ units & still in operation and able
to achieve full load during suitable conditions.
▪ This scheme could not be implemented in Unit #1&2, but we have
replaced the old pneumatic actuators with Electro-Mechanical Actuators
for better control and reduced DP across FW water line set point to 5.5
kg/cm2 from 8 kg/cm2.

We have three ambient Air Quality monitoring stations in plant area to monitor
the air quality. We are already sending all the environment related data like
Stack PM, ETP data, River Water data etc to RPCB/CPCB servers online. We are
also displaying all stack & ETP Data for public at the Plant entrance.

KSTPS, Kota is a very old plant, so a lot of ash was accumulated in Ash
Pond. With sustained efforts we have been able to utilize the ash from ash
pond as well. The Utilization of more than 100 % is due to this.

Under Implementation:
➢ We have Planned to install VFD’s for ID Fan Motors in our Unit No. 6 & 7.
We have already received Regulatory Commission approval for
implementing this through additional capitalization.
➢ We have Planned to install Energy Accounting and Management System at
KSTPS. This will help in online monitoring of energy consumption all HT
Motors. We have already received Regulatory Commission approval for
implementing this through additional capitalization.
➢ Replacement of Air Pre Heater Seals with Soft Touch Seals to reduce Air
Ingress & Leakages.
➢ Installation of Acoustic Leak Detection System for early Boiler Tube
Leakage Detection and avoiding secondary damages.
➢ All Lighting Loads are being shifted to LED technology in phased manner.
➢ All Ceiling fans are being replaced with energy efficient 28 W Ceiling fans.
Future Planning:
➢ We are planning to install VFD’s on BFP’s and CEP’s of Unit 5,6 & 7.
➢ Principally decided to procure only Energy Efficient motors in future.
➢ The Environment Norms has changed. Our Units will not be meeting these
norms. A Consultancy was awarded for feasibility study and preparation of
Detailed project Report to meet these new environment norms to M/s
FICHTNER Consulting Engineers (India) Pvt Ltd for Our Unit # 5, 6 & 7. The
Consultant has submitted the DPR and the implementation is under
process.
➢ The Unit # 1 to 4 at KSTPS are very old. These do not meet many of the
upcoming environment norms. So A Consultancy was awarded for
feasibility study and preparation of Detailed project Report to meet these
new environment norms to M/s FICHTNER Consulting Engineers (India) Pvt
Ltd. The Consultant has submitted the DPR.
➢ We are planning to give consultancy for improvement in Unit # 3 & 4 so that
These Units can meet the Regulatory commission’s norms of SHR & APC.
