Digital Transformation: Generation and

Distribution System

Advance Power Plant Technology

• High efficiency (40 % SC, > 60 % CC)

• Fast start-up capability, high operational flexibility

• Low lifecycle costs

• High reliability and availability

• Reduced emissions per kWh

• High efficiency and low emission also in part-load operation

Advantages of 500 & 800 MW Gas based CCGT

Advanced Power Plant Technology

• Coal Based Sub critical to Ultra -Supercritical

Renewable based Power Generation
