24 July 2008 - Emerson Process Management has been selected by NTPC to modernize obsolete controls at the Tanda Thermal Power Station, a 4 x 110 MW plant located in Uttar Pradesh, India.
NTPC is the largest power utility in India and the sixth-largest thermal power generator in the world. Emerson is installing its Ovation expert control system at all four units of the coal-fired power plant as part of a comprehensive renovation and maintenance project.
Emerson received the contract for Unit 3 after the previous vendor was unable to meet the original schedule. The control system installation and unit commissioning needed to take place during a 90-day scheduled outage, which began the last week of March 2008.
A mere three months after contract award, Emerson was able to complete the project during a specified 70-day window within the outage.
At all four Tanda units, the Ovation system will monitor and control the burner management system (BMS) and furnace safeguard supervisory system (FSSS). The Ovation system, designed to meet the specific challenges of the power generation industry, will also interface to existing BHEL boiler and turbine controls.
In all, the Ovation system will manage 10 000 I/O points (2500 points per unit). The contract also calls for Emerson to supply a total of 40 Ovation redundant controllers (10 per unit) and 36 workstations (nine per unit).
