The unit has been commissioned at the 2x520 MW Vizag Thermal Power Project of Hinduja National Power Company Limited (HNPCL), Visakhapatnam.
In the Visakhapatnam district, four 500 MW thermal sets supplied and executed by BHEL are already in successful operation at Simhadri Super Thermal Power Station of NTPC.
The 2x520 MW Vizag Thermal Power Project has been executed by BHEL on EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) basis. This project is located on the coast of the Bay of Bengal and has a single flow condenser and sea water as main cooling water.
Though the project work was severely affected by the Hudhud cyclone in 2014, all-out efforts were made by BHEL and HNPCL to curtail delays and commission both the units.
BHEL recently secured orders for setting up two supercritical thermal power projects involving one unit each of the country’s highest rating 800 MW sets, in Andhra Pradesh.
The projects are 1x800 MW Dr. Narla Tata Rao Thermal Power Station (Dr NTTPS) Stage-V of Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Ltd (APGENCO) and 1x800 MW Sri Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Station (SDSTPS) Stage-II, popularly known as Krishnapatnam Supercritical Thermal Power Project, of Andhra Pradesh Power Development Company Ltd. (APPDCL).
