There is no denying that coal based power plants are facing their biggest crisis yet in their history.
8In Europe already, there are several countries which have announced a phase out of coal-based power.
8Stricter air pollution mitigation norms, possible taxes on carbon emission and cheaper renewable power have all worked against coal-based power generation in Europe
8The big question in Europe is whether to invest in thermal plants to make them compatible with stricter air pollution norms or allow them to shut down.
8The European dilemma is best illustrated by the travails of two of its largest power companies
I8n India the situation is different but only in degrees.
8The dilemmas faced by these companies may well apply to Indian power companies too over a period of time.

India somehow continues to experience the highest landed price of LNG in the world
8For reference purposes, the website carries there the September landed price of LNG
8Is there something wrong with India's pricing model?
8The largest volume of LNG comes from Qatar, which provides more than 50% of total supply to India. India is also the nearest LNG destination from Qatar, with a journey time of a mere two days.
8Ordinarily, logic would say that the Qatar proximity to India should have worked the other way round and brought down landed Indian LNG prices.
8Are oil-index supplies from Qatar still very expensive even after a price correction?
8Or are there other factors accounting for the high landed price of LNG in India?

Coal fired power plants can be made more flexible either by combining solar energy with coal-fired generation, or cofiring natural gas with coal.
8Both techniques are already used globally on a commercial basis, although deployment levels are currently low.
8However, under the appropriate conditions, both show potential for application to some existing and new-build power plants but both technologies have their limitations.
8A solar-based project will only make sense in locations that receive consistently high solar radiation. Similarly, cofiring with natural gas will only be possible where there is a reliable, affordable supply of gas available.
8Increasingly a competitive marketplace means that coal plants will now be forced to operate on a much more flexible basis.
8Regular start-stops, load following, and low load operation have increasingly become the norm.

We are proud to claim, immodestly perhaps, that we have developed one of the world's most sophisticated project monitoring softwares. It comes integrated with a CRM package.
8We capture hundreds of parameters around a project in the software.
8The software is also capable of generating hundreds of pages of detailed reports from its MSQL database, giving you dozens of ways to slice up the information.
8At the backend, we only employ engineers to feed in primary data from our contacts around the country.
8Importantly, it is not a static but a dynamic software that moves with a project, giving you scores of updates until the project is commissioned.
8The software has been built to forecast future project movements and business opportunities based on existing progress parameters.
8For example, in the KG-DWN-98/2 block, we know exactly how far the project has progressed and we can estimate project activities, from one month to a year and for a longer period as the project moves beyond the selection of consultants.
8Regular interactions with key owner contacts, potential consultants as well as equipment and service providers allow us to bring you updates as and when any of the many parameters we monitor changes. The change can happen in a week or in a few months. An alert will go to you as and when changes happen. An update can be a minor one like the postponement of an RFQ date or a major change that involves changes in multiple project sensitive parameters.
8We spend the bulk of our time providing you verified contacts associated with a project -- at the level of the owner or the contractor or sub contractor -- along with their telephone numbers.
8Our archiving system allows you to keep track of how the project has moved over time. Every change is captured in our archives.
8The scale of our ambition is vast and so we are still filling in parts of our software. We now have updates on select high value petroleum projects. As for fertilizer projects, our other area of specialization, we have captured the full gamut of activity around all projects.
8A business development executive usually exudes confidence on his coverage of his area of operation but he will be surprised with what the software can throw up.
8A live analyst will always be there to support you. You just have to pick up the phone and call.

The medium and high horse power diesel generation sets market is made up of a few players
8But competition is high and there is the possibility of disruptive technology taking root.
8Historically, it was power cuts that drove diesel genset volumes; now, it is new infrastructure creation and capex that is driving growth for diesel gensets.
8Growth in the low horse power segment is subdued. Earlier, volumes in this segment used to grow by 15-20% on high power cuts. With power cuts lower now, volume growth has tapered down.
8Growth in the high horse power segment (greater than 1 MW) is dependent on a rise in capex.
8Both margins and pricing are under pressure for gen set makers

The volume of water required for power generation depends on several factors, such as the generation technology, type of cooling deployed and site operating conditions.
8Cooling water use consumes the largest volume of water for a typical existing coal power plant, particularly ones using cooling towers.
8This is followed by wet Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) and boiler make-up water.
8What is important to note is that newer low emission/high efficiency technologies, such as integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), circulating fluidized bed (CFB) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) are not always more water efficient compared to conventional generation.
8The water used for these plants in turn consumes considerable amounts of energy as this water needs to undergo various physical and chemical treatment processes.
8Four emerging technology categories have now come in to reduce water use in coal power generation

"Thermal power plants are base load plants and are going to play an important role in future too. All India generation during FY 2016-17 was 1236 BUs, out of which
only 81 BUs i.e. approx. 7% of total generation was from renewable sources.
8Now, even if additional 100 GW renewable capacity is commissioned over the next 5 years, generation from renewables is expected to increase to approx. 300 BUs against the expected all India generation of approx. 1650 BUs assuming the current growth rate of 6% p.a.
8This means the generation from renewables shall be approx. 18% of total generation five years hence.
8However if the addition from renewables is only 50GW then the corresponding share of Renewables shall be 200 BUs (12% share). Accordingly, it can be reasonably concluded that in India, coal fired power plants will continue to serve as the primary source providing electricity to more than a billion people in the country".
The above is the considered view of the chairman of one of the top IPPs in the country as he goes ahead with adding another 5700 MW of capacity. But even he is being forced to restructure his power plants in order to dig in for the long run.

Another set of calculations show that gas based power will eventually develop on a country-specific instead of a global basis.
8Clearly, the cost of gas has a big impact on how much capacity is going to be developed.
8In India, only 5% of total power capacity is projected to be gas based by 2040 in comparison with 9% at present
8In comparison, the share of gas in the US will be a whopping 49%
8The analysis says that pushing gas based power in India is going to be near impossible given the high landed cost of LNG.
8Overall gas demand, however, will continue to go up even when the most disruptive assumptions are made from the reference case.
8In all of this what will suffer is the global climate. Under none of these assumptions will global warming be kept pegged below the 2 degree mark.

There is a fresh argument that revivalist coat producers, as the climate change lobby inappropriately claims, are trying to put together to stay relevant.
8A 2017 cost of power chart shows the cost of ultra super critical power to be lower than that of gas based power (in countries where the cost of gas is cheap)
8Combined cycle power gas based power cost is higher than super critical coal based power plants and more so if they are open cycle gas power units.
8As baseline 24X7 stations, super critical power is cheaper by far than wind and solar power as well.
8Importantly, the chart shows that super critical plants are way cheaper than gas based power when carbon capture and storage cost is taken into account or when renewable energy is considered with battery storage.

With the thermal power segment in a bit of a trouble, where is BHEL trying to diversify?
8It looks like it is interested in LNG terminals and cryogenic storage
8But the problem is that this segment is highly capital and technology intensive and there are heavyweight international companies already sitting on it.
8Is LNG the right segment to get into at this point in time?
8BHEL has a partner to go along with, but here again, is it the right choice?

After the Dokhlam border skirmish with China, the hydel power relationship with Bhutan is in the limelight.
8The Chinese are unlikely to take the hurt to their pride by the faceoff with Indian troops inside their territory very kindly and Bhutan is likely to be target of more aggression by the dragon.
8On the other hand, like with Nepal, there can be an attempt to woo Bhutan out of India's grip
8In this context, India is expected to fast track Bhutanese hydel power projects as an attempt to protect its interest in the neighbouring country unlike in Nepal where the Chinese have begun taking over hydel projects which were planned but so far has seen no action on the ground.
8The central government is doing a review of all such projects under construction or under planning in Bhutan. The government is likely to take a more flexible approach in clearing some of the points of disagreements over some of the pending projects.
8Is there a bigger role for private sector participation in these projects or likely security concerns overweight the benefits?

The slowdown in the power sector has brought about a slow transition away from power towards other infrastructure projects for large EPC contractors
8Thankfully, there is still space in areas such as road building and other infrastructure segments for a contractor to find a new footprint
8The website carries here the slow yet steady progress made by one such big company to move away from power after having executed over 40,000 MW of projects.

On the other side of the picture is a wind power generator with a good track record and strong financials
8However the sole offtaker has a weaker financial profile.
8Does this then impact the generator's rating, particularly when there is an increasing movement to skip high cost renewable power by discoms?
8If so, how?

Why is it that a solar power developer manages good debt ratings compared to their thermal power counterparts? Is good counterparty risk the only factor?
8Here is an example of a company into solar power but now setting up a hydro power project where the risks are higher but the investment is on the right side of the climate change debate.
8Peaking power requirements from hydel power projects are only going to go up and not down.
8Both the offtaker and the seller of power have good ratings.
8It takes two to tango.

If a Long Term Open Access capacity is only replacing a Medium Term Open Access (MTOA) agreement and the transmission company does not suffer a loss, is there a need to pay a relinquishment charge for surrendering the MTOA, particularly when there is no interference with ATC?
8This is a tricky question as there is no provision in the Connectivity Regulations for exemption from payment of relinquishment of MTOA.
8One view is that since there is no actual relinquishment of capacity or loss, there is no requirement to pay relinquishment charges.Find out more Click on Reports for more Details
