Strengthening
Cooperation with India
VGB
and member companies participated in major energy events in India
reflecting experiences in flexible power plant operation and
sustainable energy supply.
Panel Discussion at the
8th Indo-German Energy Forum in New Delhi on 1 November 2019,
Source: IGEF The
recent visit of German Federal Chancellor Dr Angela Merkel from 31
October to 1 November in India formed the occasion for the 8th
meeting of the Indo-German Energy Forum (IGEF). Eight implementation
agreements and MoUs worth more than 200 million Euros have been
signed by the Ministry of Power and Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy with their German counterparts.
VGB
has been active partner in the activities of flexibilizing Indian
coal fired power plants for the last years. Together with partners
such as Siemens and Steag Energy Services, the VGB investigated the
flexibility potential of two NTPC plants – at the 210 and 500 MW
units of the Dadri and Simhadri power plant. The studies’ results
could be successfully verified in test runs executed at unit 6 of
the Dadri power plant achieving stable minimum load operation at 40
per cent. These learnings provided an important input to Indian
decision makers for adapting the nationwide regulatory framework for
part load operation.
“We
are eager to support the forum’s activities further on”, said Dr
Oliver Then, VGB’s Executive Managing Director, during the IGEF
panel discussion addressing the topic of “Market and System
Integration of Renewable Energies”. He pointed out the importance of
flexible dispatchable power generation for a successful energy
system transformation.

VGB-B
035 - Failures and Forced Unavailability of Power Plants (Henk C.
Wels)
Power
plants are not functioning to the fullest 100 % of the time.
Maintenance and inspection of some components require them to be
off-line in time. However, this can be planned such that customers
continue receiving power from the electrical grid, or steam or
district heating from other plants. Unplanned outages due to
failures or external conditions may cause surprises and can lead to
situations in which the demand is not satisfied on short term
entailing large costs.
