Job Context & Major Challenges

JOB CONTEXT:
CPP Mahan having capacity- 900MW, caters the power requirement of Smelter having capacity 360Ton per year as per their demand which has to be uninterrupted and at the lowest cost. As such, CPP needs to be operated at best (close to design) efficiency level which demands:
1) Operating the plant with lowest Auxiliary Power Consumption, specific coal and oil consumption, DM Water consumption etc.
2) Operation of unit near to design level with minimum deviation to get maximum efficiency along with full compliance with environmental norms, equipment & people safety
3) Monitoring & Maintaining the equipment healthiness through keeping close watch via online Parameters and utilizing effectively the raw inputs like coal, oil, water, compressed air etc. to achieve lowest cost of the power generation.
Also maintaining good Housekeeping of the concerned Unit is responsibility of the position holder.

MAJOR CHALLENGES:
CPP is fulfilling the power requirement of Smelter unit/Aluminum process plant. Hence CPP generation should be of good quality, reliable and uninterrupted. Due to such criticality, following are the major challenges for CPP, Desk engineer which they have to take care:
1) Emergency handling of power plant without any loss to the Smelter Plant.
2) Smooth, qualitative & reliable operation of 6x150MW units.
3) Optimizing the consumption of key inputs and auxiliary power of concerned Units.
4) Minimum forced outages and minimum down time.
5) Restoration of units after tripping in minimum time.
