Emerson Process Management, a global business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR),
has won an order from NTPC Limited to provide automation technologies
and expertise for two new 800-megawatt supercritical generating units at
the Darlipali Super Thermal Power Station in the Sundergarh District,
Odisha, India.
The new units will help meet the energy needs of the region’s growing
population. Unit 1 commissioning is expected in December 2017, with Unit
2 to follow three months later.
“Supercritical technologies boost the efficiency of coal-based
electricity generation while reducing carbon and other emissions, but
the high temperatures and pressures involved make them more challenging
to control,” explained Dr. Amit Paithankar, managing director, Emerson
Process Management, India. “Our automation specialists have proven
expertise and our Ovation™ control system is in more than 300 of these
complex units worldwide. We welcome this opportunity to apply that
experience to these important national assets.”
Emerson project teams will engineer, install and commission Ovation
systems to monitor and control each unit’s supercritical boiler and
critical balance-of-plant processes and equipment. Emerson will also
provide its Rosemount® Analytical online steam water analysis
system and continuous emissions monitoring system, Rosemount pressure
and level transmitters, and additional instrumentation.
Emerson previously worked with NTPC Limited, which is India’s largest
power utility, to automate units at the Sipat, Simhadri, and Tanda power
stations and is currently carrying out projects at several other sites.
“We appreciate NTPC’s ongoing confidence in our people and
technologies,” said Bob Yeager, president of Emerson Process
Management’s Power & Water Solutions. “Our teams will make the most of
everything they’ve learned on previous projects to help NTPC meet the
region’s growing demand for electricity.”
