17 Jan 2017
Staterun power equipment maker BHEL today said it has commissioned
another 500 MW unit of Sagardighi Thermal Power Station Phase II in West Bengal.
"The unit was the second 500 MW set to be commissioned at Sagardighi Thermal Power
Station (TPS) Phase II project in Murshidabad district of West Bengal," BHEL said in a
statement.
The first unit of the 1,000MW project was commissioned in December, 2015. The project
has been set up by West Bengal Power Development Corporation (WBPDCL), it said.
BHEL's scope of work in the contract envisaged design, engineering, manufacture, supply
and erection and commissioning of steam generators, steam turbine generators and
auxiliaries, electrical equipment, switchyard and stateoftheart controls and instrumentation
(C&I), along with associated civil works.
The equipment for the project were manufactured at BHEL's Trichy, Ranipet, Haridwar,
Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Bhopal plants, while the company's power sector eastern region
undertook erection and commissioning of the equipment.
BHEL has so far contributed 83 per cent of the total coalbased generating capacity of
WBPDCL. Presently, BHEL is also executing 3 units of 40 MW each of Rammam hydroelectric
project of NTPC Ltd, in West Bengal.
Stateowned engineering major Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has already
established its engineering prowess in the past through successfully delivering higher rated units of 600 MW, 660 MW, 700 MW and 800
MW thermal sets with a high degree of indigenisation.
