APPLICATION OF MODERN FLAT-BELT DRIVES IN THERMAL POWER STATIONS

摘要

A thermal power plant produces electrical energy and also consumes a substantial amount of energy in the form of auxiliary power consumption (APC) required for various plant equipments and services. CII studies indicate that APC generally varies 3-6%for large power plants and close to 10% for smaller captive plants depending on unit size, technology, PLF, fuel quality etc. Energy conservation in Power stations is achieved mainly by operating the equipment at maximum efficiency and using energy efficient technologies which results in reduction of auxiliary power consumption. The advent of "Extremultus " high efficiency synthetic modern Flat Belts drive, a technological innovation in power transmission has a potential to save 4-6%) energy as compared to "V" belts drives.
