Balco designs plan to reduce power generation loss by constant coal flow

Project has been implemented at firm's 540-Mw captive power plant that feeds Balco's aluminium unit in Chhattisgarh's Korba district

Vedanta-controlled Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (Balco) has taken up an innovative project to maintain power generation and reduce the under injection losses. An abrupt change in coal flow in the feeders caused a sudden load variation and furthered these losses. 

The project has been implemented in the company’s 540-Mw captive power plant that feeds Balco’s aluminium facility located in Chhattisgarh’s Korba district. The continuous supply of coal flow plays a crucial role in power generation as its variation directly affects the generation of power.

For the continuous generation of power, uninterrupted coal flow in mills through coal feeders is inevitable.
