Reason for higher Heat Rate:
Higher percentage of negative RRAS & lower PLF.
Lockdown in last fortnight of FY 19-20 also contributed to higher heat rate due to drastically reduction of load.
Activities for Achieving PAT Target:
Installation of 260 KW of LED in Power Plant & Colony.
Conversion of Duel Fuel Nozzle to Single Fuel Nozzle in Gas Turbine leading to saving of 51,048 MMBTU of Thermal Energy per annum

Existing BFP is 9 stage centrifugal pump, driven by 2660 kW / 6.6 kV electric motor.
Modification proposed for removal of two stages of pump impeller for pressure reduction from 177 kg/cm2.
Destaged BFP will provide 130 kg/cm2 pressure, which is sufficient for part load operation.
After modification, power consumption will be 1766 kW, thereby saving 607 kW per BFP.
Annual power saving per BFP @ 185 days running will be 2.70 million units.

Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) is not applicable for coastal power plant which are using sea water for condenser cooling.
For reuse of sewage water, RGPPL has planned to installed 0.5 MLD STP based on MBR technology in place of existing STP.
Environment Management- Water
Rainwater Harvesting:
RGPPL is self sufficient in term of sweet water from Rain Water Harvesting. RGPPL has harvested 304 m^3 rain water against requirement of 219 m^3 for power plant & colony for FY 21.
Chiller Coil Condensate Use:
RGPPL was envisaged as an integrated energy complex with a power plant and an LNG regasification facility. In this energy exchange process, heat energy of condenser cooling water from power plant is utilized for regasification of LNG and cold of LNG is utilized in power plant for inlet air chilling & circulating water cooling. When power plant units operate at base load condition, chiller coils are taken into service to enhance efficiency and also because the condensate formed on inlet air chiller coils. This condensate provides water at the rate of 10m3/hour per gas turbine, which is then re‐used as process water for plant activities.

Best Practices in water Management
Environment Management- Water
Auxiliary Make‐up: Auxiliary cooling towers are operated in closed loop so that the evaporation loss is null. This has helped in saving considerable quantity of clarified water.
HRSG Blowdown, quench water and Sample Loss: Water collected in blowdown tanks are treated for using in demineralization process, thereby reducing requirement of fresh water for process
STP Water Re-use: RGPPL has also planned to upgrade its existing sewage treatment at township with Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology based STP
