  1. Energy Conservation Act and Energy Audit ATAR SINGH DEPUTY DIRECTOR, NPTI

  2. Introduction India has an installed power generating capacity of 143,061 MW (as on March 31, 2008) of which the thermal power stations share is 91,906 MW (64%).

  3. Total Installed Capacity- 1,43,061 MW (as on March 31, 2008 )

  4. Energy Use in India • Energy consumption in India is low, though efficiency of use is reasonable • Per capita energy consumption is 530 kgoe; world average is 1770 • Energy intensity of Indian economy was 0.18 kgoe/$-GDP(PPP) in 2004; compared to 0.14 in Japan and 0.19 in the EU • Energy demand is increasing due to rising incomes, accelerated industrialization, urbanization and population growth • 2003-04 : 572 Mtoe • 2016-17 : 842-916 Mtoe • 2026-27 : 1406-1561 Mtoe • Meeting the increasing demand only through increases in supply may lead to: • Reduced energy security due to volatility in availability and prices of imported fuels • Adverse environmental impacts • Strain on balance of payments • Energy conservation and energy-efficiency are an essential part of national energy strategy

  5. Indian Thermal Power Stations • The contribution of energy generated by thermal stations was 559 billion kWh, which is about 80% of electricity generated (704.5 billion kWh) in 2007-08. • There has been significant improvement in the plant load factor of thermal stations, which improved from 52.4% in 1985-86 to 78.6 in 2007-08, registering a remarkable improvement of 50 % during the period. • Since the major power generation contribution is from thermal sector, an average increase of 1% in the thermal power plant efficiency would result in: a. Coal savings of approx. 11 million tons per annum for nation (approx) worth 200 Million Euro b. 3% CO2 reduction per annum (approx.13.5 million tons per annum)

  7. INDIAN SCENARIO: DESIGN HEAT RATE TRENDS*

  8. EFFECT OF CRITICAL PARAMETERS ON HEAT RATE

  9. Policy initiatives of Government of India to improve the power sector efficiency • Power sector reforms • Promotion of clean coal technologies, • Energy Conservation Act 2001 • Electricity Act 2003 • National Electricity Policy, 2005 • Adoption of Super Critical Technology for 660/ 800 MW units for Ultra mega Projects (4000 MW each) and • Increased emphasis on environmental considerations

  10. Barrier to Efficiency Improvement in Power Sector – Indian Scenario • Emphasis on plant load factor instead of ‘efficient generation’. • Degradation of equipment resulting in loss of capacity. • Delayed overhauls (Seasonal Constraints) • Financial constraints lead to inadequate maintenance • Lack of awareness on efficiency related issues • Inadequate monitoring system for parameters

  11. ENERGY CONSERVATION ACT - 2001 • Enacted in October 2001 • Become effective from 1st March 2002 • Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) operationalized from 1st March 2002. • MISSION OF BEE • Develop policy and strategies with a thrust on self regulation and market principles, within the overall framework of the EC Act with the primary objective of reducing energy intensity of the Indian economy.

  12. DESIGNATED CONSUMERS ( Energy Intensive Industries and other Establishments) (A programme to initially focus on energy policy issues of energy efficiency improvement in organized sectors such as energy intensive industries and commercial sector through establishment of energy management system, capacity building of energy professionals, implementation of energy audits, establishments of specific energy consumption norms and support to consumers on providing information on authentic energy data ) • Schedule to EC Act provides list of 15 energy intensive industries and other establishments to be notified as designated consumers (DC). DCs to • Appoint or designate energy managers • Get energy audits conducted by accredited energy auditors • Implement techno-economic viable recommendations • Comply with norms of specific energy consumption fixed • Submit report on steps taken

  13. The Indo German Energy Programme (IGEN) • The Ministry of Power, Government of India and GTZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH) signed an ‘implementation agreement’ with respect to the Indo-German Energy Programme in 2006. • The Indo German Energy Programme (IGEN) is performing research work and performance assessment in support of the implementation of the Energy Conservation Act 2001 in cooperation with the Ministry of Power and its statutory bodies Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), and Central Electricity Authority (CEA). • Under the IGEN agreement, CEA has been entrusted with the task of ensuring performance optimisation and efficiency of thermal power plants.

  14. The Indo German Energy Programme (IGEN) • The overall aim of this measure under Indo Germany Energy programme is to support and prepare public and private power plant operators for performance reporting as well as implementation of financially attractive and technically viable improvements of power plant net heat rate under the provisions of the Energy Conservation Act. • The project is being executed under two main sub-components: • 1. Mapping Studies of thermal power generating units • 2. Performance Optimisation of Thermal Power Stations

  15. Mapping Studies of Indian Thermal Power Stations(Sub Component-I) • GTZ has provided support to CEA in creating a database of the older thermal power plants in India. • The scope of the work primarily covers the mapping of the 85 thermal power generating units by using Ebsilon software. • The mapping is done for two-condition design status and the actual operating status based on plant parameters gathered from different plant locations. • Its primary purpose is to provide a baseline mapping for creating a database within CEA and identify areas both short and long term, needing attention in order to improve energy efficiency. • The baseline map would permit an objective method of setting targets and monitoring progress.

  16. MAPPING STUDIES - PROGRESS ACHIEVED Mapping studies of 65 Thermal power generating units of the 14 Indian States viz. Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh & West Bengal have been completed. The mapping studies carried out by using Ebsilon Software have brought out the deviations between design and operating parameters such as gross heat rate, turbine heat rate, boiler efficiency , specific coal consumption of the power generating units .

  17. Salient features of outcome of Mapping Studies of twenty-six nos. of 210 MW units 1. The mapped thermal generating units were characterized by a wide band of energy performance 2. Few of them were very closed to their designed energy performance, but majority of them had deviated from their designed performance by a bigger margin 3. Operating Gross Heat Rate was found to be varying from 2477 to 3084 kCal/kWh against their design values of 2321 and 2444 kCal/kWh respectively, exhibiting deviation band width of 156 kCal/kWh (6.3%) to 640 kCal/kWh (20.7%)

  18. 4. For an average designed Gross Heat Rate of 2384 kCal/kWh for these 26 units of 210 MW capacities, the heat rate has increased by an average value of 385 kCal /kWh, registering an average increase of 16% from their design performance.

  19. 5. The mapping studies have proved that older units having better operation and maintenance practices can still demonstrate higher performance than comparatively younger units. 27 % of 210 MW power generating units, having age more than 25 years have shown better performance than 54 %of 210 MW units in the age group of 14-25 years Average Gross Heat Rate by age group (210 MW) (as observed through Mapping Studies)

  20. 2500 2407 2400 2300 2200 2100 2045 2000 1900 • The operating gross heat rate of turbines was found to be the major contributor in the deterioration in the energy performance of 210 MW units. The turbine gross heat rate varied from 2045 to 2407 kcal/kWh indicating a wide difference of 362 kCal/kWh in the operating performance of 210 MW turbine units, which is about 60% of the total deviation (607kCal/kWh) observed for 210 MW generating units. • Turbine Heat Rate of 210 MW capacity units (kcal/kWh)(as observed through Mapping Studies)
