Thermal Power
India primarily depends upon Thermal Power Plants for electricity generation – Thermal Plants have an installed capacity of 234.7 GW (a share of 61.3% of 373 GW).
Under Thermal, Coal is the single largest source of energy for electricity production. As of May 2021, out of 234 GW of total thermal capacity, 206 MW is attributed to Coal (88%).
Coal fired thermal power plants entail several segments that need the attention of industry experts and scholars to throw light on several parameters such as continuous emersion monitoring systems (CEMS), energy efficiency, water chemistry, heating ventilation and air conditioning(HVAC), etc.
