Invensys Operations Management has signed a US multi-million dollar deal with Coastal Gujarat Power Limited to provide end-to-end integrated services and solutions that will fully optimise India’s first ultra-mega 4000MW power plant.
Located in Mundra in the Gujarat Sate of India, it will be India’s largest coal-fired power plant when completed in 2013.
Coastal Gujarat Power Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power Limited.
Under the terms of the agreement, Invensys will provide distributed and critical control systems, emergency shutdown systems, advanced process control, plant optimisation and operator training simulator technology.
The scope of the project includes the provision of end-to-end solutions, from boiler management systems to turbine auxiliary controls, with interfaces for seamless systems integration with other technology vendors.
Coastal Gujarat Power will be the first of the new mega power plants that will lead power generation capacity, efficiency and environmental sustainability, according to Invensys.
