Bhopal:
As part of its manufacturing capacity expansion to 15,000 MW
per annum, India's giant Public Sector Bharat Heavy Electricals
Limited, (BHEL), has set up a new state-of-the-art Ultra High
Voltage (UHV) Transformer Manufacturing Facility at Bhopal, the
capital of central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
The new unit was dedicated to the
nation on Tuesday by Union Minister Heavy Industries & Public
Enterprises Vilasrao Deshmukh in the presence of Chief Minister of
Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Arun Yadav, and Union
Minister of State for Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises. Dr. S.
N. Dash, Secretary, Department of Heavy Industry and B.P. Rao,
Chairman & Managing Director, BHEL, were also present on the
occasion, in addition to the Board of Directors and senior officials
of BHEL and the Govt. of Madhya Pradesh.
The new UHV transformer block is
another feather in BHEL's cap and boasts of state-of-the-art
technology with the most modern and sophisticated
equipment/machines, comparable with the best in the world. This new
facility will enable BHEL to produce an additional 12,000 MVA of
transformers per annum. With this, the total installed transformer
manufacturing capacity at BHEL’s Bhopal plant will go up to 30,000
MVA per annum while the total capacity of BHEL including its Jhansi
plant will go up to a phenomenal 45,000 MVA. The UHV transformer
block will enable BHEL to fulfill its commitment of making the
country self-reliant in power transmission through significant
contribution towards UHV technology in particular.
The new UHV transformer Block has a
dust free and controlled atmosphere, air conditioned bays for
winding works, pressurized bay for Core building and final assembly,
EOT cranes for lifting loads up to 450 tons, Iso static Pressing
Device for windings, Air Cushion Transport System for Movement of
Equipment & Machinery and attached UHV Laboratory for testing
Transformers up to 1,200 kV class.
BHEL has been committed to the
nation’s power development program and has reaffirmed its commitment
to the Indian Power Sector by equipping itself for the future, by
way of technology, facilities and trained manpower to meet the
country’s power forecast for the 11th Plan and beyond. For this, it
has already enhanced its manufacturing capacity to 10,000 MW per
annum and is further augmenting it to 15,000 MW per annum which is
proceeding apace and plans are afoot to hike it further to 20,000 MW
by 2011-12.
Over the past five decades, BHEL has
powered the Indian Transmission Sector by supplying the entire range
of Power Transformers and Shunt Reactors required by the sector. The
company has pioneered and played a stellar role in the evolution of
UHV Technology in the country. It is expected that Supercritical
Thermal Power Plants of 800 MW and Nuclear Power Plants of 700 MW
and above will boost the demand for Transformers manifold in the
near future. To equip itself for this anticipated surge in demand
for transformers at nearly 1,20,000 MVA per year, BHEL has taken
several steps in this direction.
