BHEL SUCCESFULLY RENOVATE ,MODERNIZE AND UPRATE 110 MW UNIT-7 AT HARDUAGANJ THERMAL POWER STATION PLANT OF UP
New Delhi, July 3: Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has achieved yet another landmark in its After-Market-Service business by successfully renovating, modernizing and uprating 110 MW Unit-7 at Harduaganj Thermal Power Station (TPS) Plant of Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (UPRVUNL). After successfully running for over 30 years, this unit, originally supplied and commissioned by BHEL, was undertaken for Renovation & Modernization (R&M).
Following the R&M, not only was the working life of the machine extended by another 15-20 years, the capacity was also uprated to 120 MW from its original capacity of 110 MW.
With this, BHEL has once again showcased its inherent strength of being fully geared for R&M and uprating of old thermal power plants through in-house state-of-the-art technology, engineering capabilities and by incorporating the latest products/systems in renovated units. Significantly, this is the 8th such unit successfully renovated, modernised and uprated by BHEL from its original rating of 110 MW to 120 MW.
The achievement of full load of this unit comes close on the heels of the successful commissioning of Rihand Hydro Unit-3 (50 MW) of Uttar Pradesh Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited (UPJVNL), following R&M. Notably, the unit was more than 50 years old and supplied by M/s English Electric in 1962.
