ASH DYKE

To achieve Generation level as per Business Plan. (In absence of regular system of MGR and also some kind of uncertainty over getting supply from SECL till FSA is signed, designed capacity in coal stock yard is required to mitigate the risk.)

10

Present Dyke total Capacity, including dyke raising is 323100 m3 (Three Lakh twenty three thousand one hundred). Total ash slurry (ash+water) generation for 12 months (as per BP starting from April12) is appx. 300000 m3 (Thirty Lakh). Hence dyke capacity is only for 12 Month of operation starting from April12

To achieve Generation level as per Business Plan, after one year onwards.

FURNACE PRESSURIZATION TEST

11

(a)restriction in loading of the unit and /or high ID fan current (b) U#2 furnace was pressurized with insulation (not increased dry flue gas loss leading to high SCC / high in line with standard procedure). Furnace aux power cons. Both are having cost implication pressurization test is to be done as per prevailing during running. (c) ash Industry practice i.e. before doing insulation work accumulation at penthouse may lead to disastrous of ducts / wind box / pent house. consequences like collapse of furnace roof , happened earlier in the world.

ATRS

12

It has been observed that turbine ATS and closed loops ( CCS Mode, Run Back, Turbine Auto mode) is not being taken in to service by SEPCO in existing plant of CPP-540,VAL-JSG,SEL.Same was taken up six month back with Project team to peruse SEPCO to work on the same. But no development has been yet observed. Since it takes long time for establishing & working on control, it needs to be followed up with SEPCO to start working immediately. Turbine Automatic Rolling is essential for Automation of turbine rolling synchronization, and loading.

Automation will reduce the human error, lead to safe operation of plant.(recently one Chinese Turbine of one of the Power stations in Chhattisgarh got damaged at the time of manual synchronization of unit.) Any automation for which SEPCO has been paid for in the EPC package will also help in our effort for overall optimisation of Man Power.

INTERLOCK AND PROTECTION

All interlock protection should be checked jointly by O&M and Project before start of Unit.It has been observed that SEPCO do not allow checking of interlock and protection of equipment/system jointly with our Team and sign a joint commissioning protocol.An attempt was made by O&M to carry out the checking of interlock and protection along with projects, but the activity was discontinued by SEPCO Interlock and protection are the heart of the system. Any failure / non initiation may lead to disastrous consequences to our assets causing loss of heavy business Volume. Signing of Joint Protocol (Interlock and protection) by both parties, is an essential commissioning practice in the power industry, both private as well as PSU.

TRANSMISSION LINE AS PER BPTA

14

As per latest information from PGCIL infrastructure for the permanent pooling station at URGA will be completed by third quarter of 2013. BALCO needs to complete the transmission line from BALCO to URGA pooling station before third quarter of 2013. to make possible power transmission from 2X300 MW (IPP), 2X67.5MW of CPP-1 and any surplus power from. 2X300MW(CPP). It is also to be noted that as per BPTA we will be paying fixed charges to PGCIL on a monthly basis once URGA pooling station is complete. Hence completion of transmission line is a must to counter balance that by pushing more volume of power to the grid through URGA pooling station. Otherwise non completion of transmission line in time will cause financial loss to BALCO.

REMARKS

Plan to commissioned by 30th Mar-12, On Schedule

Plan to commissioned by15th Apr-12, On Schedule

First Unit - C.T. #2- Ready Second Unit - C.T. #1- Ready upto 15th May-12 as per schedule(450 M.W. can be generated from the 1st and 2nd units till that time and after 15th may 600M.W. will be availiable Due to the resistance of the shanti nagar resident people permanent drain work was delayed Temporary arrangement was made during pre start up and commissioning activities .The work is in progress and will completed by end of Mar-12

The water used for blr preservation and gen stator is DM water as per standards required and has been checked and confirmed by sepco.Mr kourav of 1200 M.W O&M team has also discussed this issue with sepco and they have also confirmed to him that water used is as per standard and will pose no problem. The main drain outside and connectevity is under progress and will be completed by 31st March

Out of 3 KM of total railway lines & crossings; 2.7 KM is completed required for Push Pull Method. Work is going in SPECO Living Quarter Area & Plant II SPL Yard Approach Road and will be completed by 25-March-2012. The above additional arrangement (Push Pull Method) is incorporated in finl ESP & final enginnering approval is obtained from railways. Operational approval is under persuasionwith railways. The Push Pull Method for additional rakes was not envisaged in Signalling System was not envisaged for Push Method. Signalling System under execution is for the final traffic plan through / in MRG System.

SIP (Signalling Plan) as per DPR is approved by Railways.

The material is for U-1 and will be cleared by 15th April

So by Mar End we would have space of 11,21,800Cum. Rest Raising depends on Ash availability

Furnace test has been done as per requirement and will not affect the performance by any means.Furnace pressurization test was done on 9.8.2011and no leakage was found in pent house & furnace. Test was also witnessed by O& M person.As per sepco standard practice kerosin test done for every fabricated duct and final joints of ducts visual inspection / DP test was conducted. All ducts , wind box quality ensured by sepco quality section therefore possibility of any leak is ruled out.

We are aware that this has not been done in any of the Sepco-Balco units and we have taken this with sepco on top priority and we are sure that at 1200 M.W project we will commission the unit with desired automation Present Status:1. ATRS / TSE logics already configured into DEH & related graphic available at HMI. 2. Simulation Checks for TSE & ATRS already completed by DEC & NECI. 3. Sepco has agreed to demonstrate its functioning during unit synchronisation (Pls see Point 6 of attached MOM dt 05.12.2011 which was already communicated to o & m)

1. Sepco along with its partners [Sepco Project+ Commissioning(NECI)+Operation(Huandao)] jointly carry out Interlock / Protection & logic testing prior to any commissioning activity. Such commissioning protocols are signed by the above three parties. This is also witnessed by project engineers. 2. Sepco shall handover all such signed protocols to balco during handover.

O&M team is required to expedite the finalisation of Permanent Connectivity Arrangement Configuration for 1200 MW power plant and for complete 2010 MW Power set-up and subsqunetly its APPROACH NOTE APPROVAL and handover the same to project team for its ordering and construction. ( As on date , as decided , project has floated the enquiry for Two D/C 400 kV lines ; One from 1200 Mw and Another from existing MRSDS , the offers are received and ordering is planned by this month) After the survey job , the NFA will be moved for its ordering ,expected by May month before the same , the permananet configuration is to be fianlised.
