Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has commissioned its first 700 MW supercritical thermal unit at Bellary Thermal Power Project (TPP) in Karnataka. The new 700 MW rating unit has been developed by BHEL in line with market requirements. With the successful supply and execution of this 700 MW set, a new chapter has been added in the adoption and indigenous development of supercritical technology by BHEL. Bellary project was awarded to BHEL by Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL)
This is the third unit commissioned by BHEL at Bellary, where two units of 500 MW supplied and executed by BHEL, are already in operation. BHEL has been a major partner of KPCL in the development of Karnataka’s power sector. BHEL has supplied and executed 3,210 MW of sets in the state so far, which account for 94 percent of the coal-based installed capacity of KPCL.
In Karnataka, BHEL is presently executing a 2x800 MW supercritical thermal power project at Yeramarus and the 370 MW gas-based Yelahanka Combined Cycle Power Project. While, Yeramarus TPP is being set up by Raichur Power Corporation Limited (RPCL), a joint venture company of BHEL and KPCL, and is in an advanced stage of commissioning; Yelahanka CCPP is the first gas-based power plant of KPCL and will be equipped with a fuel-efficient advanced class gas turbine.
