Proposal for renovation & Modernization of Baira siul Power station

Renovation, modernization and uprating (RM&U) is required for power plant which have outlived their normative-operating life. R&M of Hydro Power plants is a cost effective way to bridge the wide gap between demand and-supply of power at less cost and lower gestation period of about 3 to 4 years as against construction period of 6 to 7 years for new power plant. RM&U programmes may be taken up timely to prevent deterioration in operation of generating units which may lead to their premature retiring. By R&M programme, the generating plant can be made to operate for another extended period of 20 to 25 years with improved reliability and availability. This paper describes various aspects regarding planning for R&M and life extension of Bairasiul power station for various Civil, Hydro mechanical and Electromechanical components.
