• Dr. Radha Krishnan, Cleaner Fossil Technologies Consultant, PACE-D TA Program The Chairman Mr. Padmanaban outlined the four key issues for discussion:

• Policy and Regulation • Modular Manufacturing of Power Plant Equipment • Development of Effective Supply Chain • Building Alliances:

i. Setting up a Heat Rate Alliance ii. Opportunity to work collaboratively in R&D activities (EPRI & India) iii. Operational Issues – Best Practices

Mr. Burnard stressed the dual challenge of continuing a substantial and rapid expansion of power generation capacity in India while reducing carbon emissions. He maintained that the share of renewable to total energy generation portfolio should be increased, but as coal will be the mainstay of electricity generation in India, adoption of coal based efficient power plant using supercritical and ultra-supercritical technologies, will be the future mode of capacity addition in India. He also stated that India can draw upon global experience in the design and O&M of supercritical technology through engagement with global players. According to Mr. Burnard, it would be easier for India to leverage this expertise as it has a vast pool of excellent engineers and scientists. He highlighted the challenges of increasing low load factor, handling institutional and policy issues, minimizing T&D losses, building national grid infrastructure, increasing domestic coal output, improving systems for cost effective transport of coal, rationalization of electricity subsidies, and efficient and economic selection of sources of electricity. His discussion also focused on developing mechanisms for coal and power prices faced by the Indian power sector and the need for an overall advancement in growth of the Indian power sector.

Dr. Shingledecker recommended the use of best practices and tapping into international experience for O&M of power plants in India. He said that there is huge opportunity for India and the U.S. for mutual exchange of learning and work collaboratively in the areas of life management, failure modes, and repairability of power plant equipment. He also highlighted the mutual interest of the two countries and stated that strict environmental regulation and inexpensive shale gas in the U.S. limit the scope for setting up USC and A-USC projects. However, it provides a great opportunity for a long term mutually beneficial alliance between India and the U.S. to work together to develop A-USC in India. Mr. Chethal stressed the need to create domestic manufacturing capability and to build in-house expertise through global collaboration. He said that there is need to demonstrate new advanced coal technologies in India, even if the technology has been proven abroad. According to him, this will help stakeholders to better understand the technology and to solve problems in the future. Mr. Chethal considered turbines more challenging than boilers, as they require greater attention. He focused on the design gaps for boilers and said that new design codes should be developed. He also recommended that a facility be set up in India to test advanced materials. In his discussion, Mr. Gupta said that high-efficiency coal based projects will be the solution for meeting growing electricity demand in India. According to him, SC, USC and A-USC technologies need to be rolled out immediately while new technologies such as IGCC will take their course in future. He mentioned that India aims to achieve a 50 percent plus efficiency of

power generation cycle and described NTPC’s journey to supercritical technology. According to him, India has gained considerable experience in establishing and running subcritical and newly commissioned supercritical units. However the implementation team faced issues related to welding of boiler tubes (T-23 and 304H) at the site, which required an upgrade of procedures. He called for the development of matching domestic infrastructure and technical support while adopting new technologies. He also said that it is important to consider the users’ perspective when designing equipment. Dr. Radha Krishnan compared power stations to human life and infant mortality and said that the first few years of power plants, before stabilization, are very critical and crucial. He identified four problem areas that required the utmost attention: O&M, Quality control, Design and Human Resources. He underlined the constraints of water and coal quality and called for the application of best practices and unit-to-unit benchmarking. He wished to see an EPRI knowledge center in India and to establish a “Heat Rate Alliance”. He called on all utilities to come forward to developing similar centers in India. VALEDICTORY SESSION The Valedictory Session included the following speakers:

• Mr. Jeremy Gustafson, Director, Clean Energy & Environment Office, USAID/India • Mr. A.K.Gupta, ED – Engineering, NTPC • Mr. Manjit Singh, Member Thermal, CEA

In his address, Mr. Gustafson focused on the importance of awareness raising and knowledge sharing in adoption of efficient technologies and mentioned the critical role played by PACE-D TA Program. Mr. A K Gupta underlined the need to go ahead but with definite moves. He mentioned that the Indian power sector has grown considerably from 100 GW to about 230 GW in the last decade. He added that NTPC plans to grow from present capacity of 41 GW to 128 GW by 2032 and most of it will be through SC and USC and A-USC. He also said that there are multiple manufacturers in India and that the bulk tendering process results in a better selection among manufacturers. He highlighted the scope of faster growth of power generation capacity in India that will drive the growth of the nation. Mr. Manjit Singh stressed the need to adopt high-efficiency, low-emission technologies for power generation. He said that the GOI has set up an ambitious target of adding 47 GW by the end of the 12th plan, and much of that would be through supercritical units. According to Mr. Singh, GOI has also decided to make it mandatory to set up new capacity addition through supercritical units in the 13th plan. He emphasized the importance of renewable resources, particularly solar and wind power, to reduce India’s carbon footprint. He underlined the need for a green transmission corridor and a smart grid, and to fix grey areas such as issues of diversity of demand, backing down of power stations and availability of gas and pricing of power. He stressed the importance of effective feedback mechanisms to learn from both domestic and global experience of O&M of supercritical power plants to achieve reliability and excellence.
