EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
1. Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) was

constituted after unbundling of Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB). With the rise in
economic growth of the state, the electrical power demand continues to rise. Further IOCL
is in the process of building a Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal at Ennore, Chennai.
TANGEDCO desires to utilize the above sources of RLNG for augmentation of power
generation in the State. TANGEDCO has planned to set up a high capacity (about 700 to
800 MW) gas based combined cycle power project (GT CCPPs) in and around Chennai.
TANGEDCO has appointed Tata Consulting Engineers Limited (TCE) for preparation a
Feasibility report (FR) for the proposed Power Plant.
Purpose
2. The purpose of this report is to study the feasibility of setting up a high capacity 700 – 800
MW gas based combined cycle power plant in and around Chennai.
3. This report also highlights the details of the selected site, gas linkage to plant site, water
requirements, technical features of the main plant equipment, cooling water system,
electrical systems, evacuation of power, environmental aspects, schedule and type of
project implementation and estimates of project cost and cost of generation for the
proposed combined cycle power project.
Scope
4. The scope of this feasibility report covers the following:
a) Site selection study for the installation of the power project considering the
topography, soil conditions, accessibility, fuel linkage, availability of water, power
evacuation arrangements and availability of land.
b) Power project capacity selection based on the availability of land and the high
efficiency Gas Turbines.
c) Gas Turbine configuration study with advanced class and latest technology
machines.
d) Preparing salient technical details, the details of the major equipment/systems
proposed.
e) Studying the environmental aspects.
f) Preparation of preliminary plant layout, heat and mass balance diagrams, water
balance diagram and electrical single line diagram.
g) Preparation of preliminary project implementation schedule.
h) Study of installation & operation methodology of the proposed plants through
various models (EPC + LTSA, EPC + PPP, IPP, EPC).
i) Preparation of first order cost estimates for the project based on data available
in- house cost data bank and data obtained from standard published information.
j) Computation of cost of power generation and levelized tariff as per CERC
guideline.
Need for the Project
5. As per National Electricity Policy (24x7 Power for All), all households, industrial,
commercial and all other electricity consuming entities shall be electrified, and Tamil Nadu
has achieved a 100% Household electrification. However, with continuous economic
growth rate and rising industrial development, it is evident that there must be capacity
addition in terms of power station to improve power supply position during peak & off-peak
hours and minimize the demand-availability gap in Tamil Nadu.
6. About 43% of power for Tamil Nadu is sourced from Renewables. The Renewables
generally possess a varying output due to the change in the climatic condition. To cater
the varying nature of the power, and to satisfy the power required during the peak time, a
fast ramping power plant is required. Due to the economic growth of the Tamil Nadu, it is
evident that the state requires additional power generation (with faster ramp rate to cater
the variation in renewables).
7. The Gas based power plant are design for faster ramping rate and typically the gas
turbine takes <30 mins to startup (Hot Startup). The combined cycle power plant takes
<50 mins,
<100 & <300 mins for starting during Hot, warm and cold condition respectively. The Hot,
warm and cold startup depends on the HRSG drum metal temperature. Further the ramp
rate of the gas turbine is about 80 to 88 MW/min. This provides a faster response to the
grid requirement during the RE variations. Installation of 700 – 800 MW gas based
combined cycle power plant will satisfy the requirement.
Land
8. The proposed power plant would be located at the identified site 10 km from Chennai
city, Tamil Nadu and the site area is about 39 acres. The identified land would be
adequate for the proposed installation of the CCPP.
Site characteristics
9. The area proposed for the power plant is with vegetation and seems to be fairly even and
requires minimum grading. The final grade level in power plant area would be established
after a detail topography survey is carried out.
Access to Site
10. Proposed site is accessible by road, rail and by air. The site is located 10 km from the
Chennai city and is 3 km away from State Highway–56 (SH-56) connecting Thiruvathiyur
and Panchetty. The nearest railway station is Kathivakkam (sub urban) about 2 km from
the site, nearest airport is Chennai International Airport, Chennai about 34 km from project
site and nearest port is Ennore port about 11 km from the project site.
Source of Raw Water and its Requirement
11. The source of water is from the Bay of Bengal. The sea water will be tapped off from the
water intake facility of upcoming 660 MW Coal based power plant. The water requirement
for the plant would be about 69.6 MLD.
Source of Fuel Supply and Cost
12. Regasified Liquified Natural Gas (RLNG) will be the primary fuel for the proposed project.
The RLNG will be sourced from IOCL. The transportation of the fuel gas will be through
IOCL pipeline which runs in proximity of the proposed site. The operating pressure would
be between 40 bar and the temperature would be about 40°C (max). The Fuel gas
analysis and the landed cost is as shown in Appendix – 1. The RLNG delivered at site by
IOCL will be under fixed price Gas Supply Agreement / Contract. The estimated natural
gas requirements for the proposed power plant would be about 894 MMSCM/annum,
considering the load profile of gas turbine.
Technology Selection
13. TCE has performed the analysis considering various Gas Turbine options to produce the
power of 700 to 800 MW. The Study was performed with Thermoflow software &
combination of market analysis and in-house cost data bank is considered for the
analysis. The Various options considered for the study are as follows;
- Option – 1: 1 block of 700 - 800 MW in single shaft / multi-shaft configuration

with advanced class machines (H Class). Single shaft configuration will have 1
gas turbine, 1 HRSG and 1 steam turbine in a single shaft mode with a common
electric generator and one generator transformer. While in multi shaft
configuration will have 1 gas turbine, 1 HRSG and 1 steam turbine and 2
generators (1 for gas turbine and another for steam turbine).
- Option – 2: 1 block of 700 - 800 MW in multi-shaft configuration with F class
machines, where in the block will have 2 gas turbine, 2 HRSG and 1 steam
turbine with 3 electric generators (2 for gas turbine and another for steam
turbine).
14. The Land required for the above options are illustrated in table below;
Buildings Option-1 Option-2
Power block, acres 5.2 6.5
Electrical Area, acres 0.8 1.6
Cooling System, acres 1.2 1.3
Fuel gas system, acres 0.6 0.8
Land for other miscellaneous requirements (BOP, PECC, road, 7.2 8.8
etc.), acres
Total, acres 15.0 19.0
15. Considering the load profile and renewable generation (solar & wind) profile of Tamil
Nadu, the plant may operate in two modes either in base load operation or cyclic
operation. For the purpose of the report it is assumed that the plant will be operate in
cyclic mode of operation with 12 hrs at base load and 12 hrs as min emission load. The

CHAPTER – I
I. INTRODUCTION
1. Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) was

constituted after unbundling of Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) in 1 st Nov 2010 as per
the provisions under the section 131 of the Electricity Act,2003. The certificate of
commencement of business was obtained w.e.f. 16th March 2010. The Company is mainly
responsible for maximum energy Generation to meet up the energy demand in the state of
Tamil Nadu.
2. As present, the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited

(TANGEDCO) and Tamil Nadu Transmission Corporation Ltd (TANTRANSCO) are
functioning as the State-owned generation and transmission & distribution utilities,
respectively.
3. With the rapid industrialization, successful rural electrification and large-scale use of
electricity for the irrigation purpose, the demand for electricity has registered a significant
growth. As per the National Electricity Policy, steps have been undertaken to electrify
every household of Tamil Nadu. Owing to the increased development and better economic
activities during the last few years, the average peak electricity demand has increased in
Tamil Nadu. It is a fact that there has been a steep increase of demand for power during
the last 3-4 years in the state.
4. Tamil Nadu has a total installed power generation capacity of about 32.8 GW, which
includes TANGEDCO owned state projects, share from the Central Generating Stations
(CGS) and Private Power Projects. About 43% of the share is from the renewable energy
source. The present demand for electrical power continues to rise with the economic
growth of the state.
5. To meet the growing demand for liquefied natural gas, Indian Oil Corporation through its
Joint Venture Company, Indian Oil LNG Private Limited is in the process of building a
liquefied natural gas import terminal of 5 MMTPA capacity at Kamarajar Port in Thiruvallur
district at the outskirts of Chennai. Ennore LNG Terminal will be the first LNG terminal on
eastern coast of India. This LNG import terminal is expected to spur industrial growth in
the area. The re-gasified LNG will be distributed to power generation plants, fertilizer
plants and other industrial units.
6. TANGEDCO desires to utilize the above sources of RLNG for augmentation of power
generation in the State. TANGEDCO has planned to set up a high capacity (about 700 to
800 MW) gas based combined cycle power project (GT CCPPs) in and around Chennai.

II. NEED AND JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT
1. Tamil Nadu is one of the Six (6) states in the Southern Region (SR) of India, bordered on
the north by the states of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka and on the west by the state
of Kerala. The state’s power sector went through major reforms in 2008 under the
provision of Electricity Act’2003 and the sector was restructured into various functions of
generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Tamil Nadu Generation and
Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) is one of the companies which is mainly
responsible for maximum energy generation to meet up the energy demand in the state.
2. At present the installed generation capacity of Tangedco is about 32.8 GW out of which
14.5 GW are available from Thermal sector with an equal portion of 14.7 GW from
renewables and the remaining from Nuclear and hydro-power plants. Figure II-1 & II-2
illustrates the share of the fuel mix in the Installed capacity.

5. As per National Electricity Policy (24x7 Power for All), all households, industrial,
commercial and all other electricity consuming entities shall be electrified, and Tamil Nadu
has achieved a 100% Household electrification. However, with continuous economic
growth rate and rising industrial development, it is evident that there must be capacity
addition in terms of power station to improve power supply position during peak & off-peak
hours and minimize the demand-availability gap in Tamil Nadu. The forecasting of CEA at
their 19th Electric Power Survey of India report has been shown as below;
Figure II-5: Energy Requirement Forecast (Ex Bus) – MU

The following Figure illustrates the load profile (Yearly Average) of Tamil Nadu along with the renewable
generations.
Figure II-6: Yearly average Load Profile
Figure II-7: Yearly average Wind Generation
Figure II-8: Yearly average Solar Generation

6. About 43% of power for Tamil Nadu is sourced from Renewables. The Renewables
generally possess a varying output due to the change in the climatic condition. To cater
the varying nature of the power, and to satisfy the power required during the peak time, a
fast ramping power plant is required.
7. The Gas based power plant are design for faster ramping rate and typically the gas
turbine takes <30 mins to startup (Hot Startup). The combined cycle power plant takes
<50 mins,
<100 & <300 mins for starting during Hot, warm and cold condition respectively. The Hot,
warm and cold startup depends on the HRSG drum metal temperature. Further the ramp
rate of the gas turbine is about 80 to 88 MW/min. This provides a faster response to the
grid requirement during the RE variations.
8. Due to the economic growth of the Tamil Nadu, it is evident that the state requires
additional power generation (with faster ramp rate to cater the variation in renewables)
even though, currently about 5700 MW of coal-based power plant are in various stages of
the installation, these generation.
9. The gas-based combined cycle power plant would possess;

 It has higher net plant efficiency and better heat rate
Carbon (CO ) emission would be lower compared to solid fuel based plant.
 2
 It is more flexible with higher rate of ramp up.
 It would provide clean energy with lower emission level.
 Less capital investment and installation time.
In view of the above, it is justified to install the gas based combined cycle power plant in
Tamil Nadu in order to meet the increasing demand and drive the state’s growth.
CHAPTER – III
III. SITE SELECTION AND EVALUATION OF SITE
1. The basic criteria for selection of a site for installation of 700 - 800 MW gas based
combined cycle power plant would be as follows;
 Availability of free hold land for main power plant.

 Meteorological conditions influencing plant power output at site
 Adequate water availability for condenser cooling system and other process
requirements. In case water is not allocated to this power project, then either air
cooled condenser or dry cooling system would have to be considered. When such
a situation arises then the land requirement would be increased. Such a study
would be made only on the final selected site. It is assumed for the purpose of the
report that adequate water is available nearby for all the sites under consideration.
 Proximity to gas source and uninterrupted gas supply to plant site. It is assumed
that the natural gas would be available at the plant boundary at all the sites under
consideration.
 Power demand and power evacuation facilities in the region
 Availability of construction material, construction power and water.
 Good accessibility and approach to power plant site for movement of men, material
and equipment
 Suitability of site from important civil engineering considerations such as
adequate soil bearing capacity, nonexistence of seismic fault, extent of
undulations etc.
 Less environmental & social impact, ensuring environmental considerations.
2. Relative ranking system is adopted for all the sites, based on their overall suitability for
installation of CCPP. At first, each of the factors identified above is given maximum credit
depending on their importance in the selection process. Secondly, for a particular site
each of these factors is give credits depending on their contribution. Finally, the site
having obtained maximum credit is given first ranking.
Identified Sites
3. The following sites have been identified for examining suitability for installation of 700 -
800 MW gas based combined cycle power plant;
 Land Near Basin Bridge, vacated by M/s. GMR
 Land Near Ennore Thermal Power Station
Discussion on Proposed Site
Land Near Basin Bridge
Land, Topography, Resettlement and Rehabilitation
4. The site is within the Chennai city limit. The identified site for proposed plant was earlier
utilized for Diesel based power plant by GMR and is at present being vacant. The diesel-
based power plant is demolished, and all the civil foundations are removed, and the
surface is levelled. The site does not have major undulations and is a plain land without
appreciable level difference. However, the site needs a nominal grading of 0.5 m. The
proposed site is free of resettlement and rehabilitation issues. The site is well connected
by road and rail. The approach road has bottlenecks at few locations that would affect the
transportation of material and heavy equipment’s to site. Further there are two (2) drain
canals pass inside the proposed site.
5. The area available at the proposed site is about 29 acres
6. The site conditions are as follows;

 Altitude : 16 m above sea level
 Mean extreme annual maximum temp. : 41.4 °C
 Mean extreme annual minimum temp. : 18.1 °C
 Average design temp : 33 °C
 Average relative humidity : 70%
 Normal Annual rain fall : 1400 mm/year
 Wind speed : Design wind speed 50 m/s as per IS code
Soil Condition
7. Based on the Geotechnical investigation report furnished by TANGEDCO for the nearby
plant and also as the demolished GMR plant is in Pile foundation, the proposed power
plant would be in Pile foundation. However, the final decision on this would be done after
the site selection and subsequent soil investigation.
Water Availability
8. Source of water for the proposed power plant would be Chennai municipality water or
Sewage water. Based on the availability of the water, proposed power plant needs to be
design with wet cooling system with cooling towers or dry cooling system with Air cooled
condenser. The water required for the proposed CCPP would be approximately about
1500 m³/hr, in case of wet cooling tower and about 700 m3/hr for plant with air cooled
condenser.
Natural Gas
9. The natural gas would be available at this proposed site and would be available at the
plant boundary. The IOCL terminal is about 22 km from the site. The estimated natural gas
requirements for the proposed power plant would be around 894 MMSCM/annum.
Power Evacuation
10. The power from the proposed power station shall be evacuated at 400 kV or 230 kV level.
Use of the transmission system available at a distance of 0.5 km from the site shall be
explored further for power evacuation (upcoming 400 KV SS, Pullianthope, Chennai).
11. The proposed site is within the Chennai city limit and is near to the residential area. All

Land, Topography, Resettlement and Rehabilitation
12. The site is about 10 km from the Chennai city limit. The identified site for proposed plant
was earlier utilized for Ennore thermal power station as stores. The proposed site is with
vegetation and also some unutilized sheds, which needs to be demolished. Once the
vegetation is removed, the site requires levelling. The proposed site is near to the under
construction 660 MW coal-based power plant, which is on pile foundation. The proposed
site is free of resettlement and rehabilitation issues. The site is well connected by road
and rail. Further there are few 230 kV and 110 kV transmission towers located inside the
site area, which needs shifting.
13. The area available at the proposed site is about 39 acres

14. The site conditions are as follows;
 Altitude : 16 m above sea level
 Mean extreme annual maximum temp. : 41.4 °C
 Mean extreme annual minimum temp. : 18.1 °C
 Average design temp : 33 °C
 Average relative humidity : 70%
 Normal Annual rain fall : 1400 mm/year
 Wind speed : Design wind speed 50 m/s as per IS code
Soil Condition
15. In the absence of soil investigation data and based on the information collected pertaining
to nearby structures, during the visit Pile foundation would be suitable for the proposed
site. However, the final decision on this would be done after the site selection and
subsequent soil investigation
Water Availability
16. As the site is in proximity to the sea, source of water for the proposed power plant would
be Sea water. Based on the availability of the water, proposed power plant needs to be
design with sea water based wet cooling system with cooling towers. The water required
for the proposed CCPP would be approximately about 2900 m³/hr.
Natural Gas
17. The natural gas would be available at this proposed site and would be available at the
plant boundary. The IOCL terminal is about 11 km from the site. The estimated natural gas
requirements for the proposed power plant would be around 894 MMSCM/annum.
Power Evacuation
18. The power from the proposed power station shall be evacuated at 400 kV level. 400kV
AIS will be connected to 400kV S/S of the new 660 MW plant (around 1km from site) can
be considered as an option for interconnection.
19. The proposed site is within the 10 km from Chennai city limit and is near to the coastal
region and 2 km from the seashore. All necessary pollution control measures to maintain
the emission levels of Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, and noise level within the
permissible limits would be taken and necessary treatment of liquid effluents would be
affected as per the statutory requirements. The excess rainwater, after considering the
rainwater harvesting provisions shall be discharged to the canal which is at the proximity
of site. Thus, there would be no adverse impact on either air or water quality in and around
the power station site on account of installation of the proposed plant.

V. SELECTION OF TECHNOLOGY AND PLANT CONFIGURATION
Selection of Technology
1. Gas turbine power plants using RLNG as fuel have been in operation for a long time.
There has been considerable improvement in the design of gas turbine generators
resulting in significant enhancement in their reliability, capacity and thermal efficiency. Gas
turbine designs with higher rated outputs are under way. Combined cycle power plants
making use of the heat content of the exhaust gas from the gas turbine to raise steam in a
heat recovery steam generator and subsequent use of steam in a steam turbine generator
have a significantly higher overall combined cycle efficiency of about 55-62% on net
calorific value basis. The thermal efficiency attainable in combined cycle power plants is
far higher than the efficiency of the best available fossil fuel fired thermal power plants.
Fuel
2. For this report, Re-Liquified Natural Gas (RLNG) is considered as the fuel for the
proposed power plant. This would be sourced from the IOCL, through a dedicated pipeline
from the main gas pipeline.
Selection of plant size, configuration, equipment and source
Development trend of capacity and manufacturing technology of GTs in the world
3. For CCPPs, the entire capacity is determined by the selection of GT power and
configuration, the steam cycle capacity will depend on the selected steam turbine power
and configuration. Generally, GTs tend to be developed with increasing capacity and
efficiency. Currently, GTs have been developed to the G, H, and J class with efficiency
over 60% and the F-class GTs have also been significantly improved in terms of efficiency.
Plant Configurations Available in the market for the plant capacity under consideration
4. Combined cycle power plant with nominal capacity of 700 - 800 MW has been considered
for the purpose of this report
5. The standard CCPP configurations available currently from the various manufacturers and
their ISO output are published in the ‘GTW Handbook 2019’. This book has been referred
to choose the plant configuration for the proposed CCPP. In addition, ‘GTPRO’ program
from Thermoflow Inc, USA, is used in the selection of the gas turbine power generating
units as well as in determining the performance of the plant specific to site. The models
available
from leading gas turbine manufacturers namely Ansaldo, General Electric (GE), Siemens and
Mitsubishi have been considered.
6. The Figure below illustrates the GT class development charts of different GT manufacturers
7. Based on the GT World Handbook 2019, a list of possible configurations has been
identified for the CCPP. The site output of such configurations was determined using the
GTPRO program. The possible plant configurations, the site output, heat rate, etc. for the
power output of 700 - 8000 MW is presented in the Tables V-2 & V-3
8. The following two (2) alternatives for Combined Cycle Power Plant have been considered
for further study and plant configuration selection
9. Option – 1: 1 block of 700 - 800 MW in single shaft / multi-shaft configuration with

advanced class machines (H Class). Single shaft configuration will have 1 gas turbine, 1
HRSG and 1 steam turbine in a single shaft mode with a common electric generator and
one generator transformer. While in multi shaft configuration will have 1 gas turbine, 1
HRSG and 1 steam turbine and 2 generators (1 for gas turbine and another for steam
turbine)
10. Option – 2: 1 block of 700 - 800 MW in multi-shaft configuration with F class machines,
where in the block will have 2 gas turbine, 2 HRSG and 1 steam turbine with 3 electric
generators (2 for gas turbine and another for steam turbine)

Discussion of Various configuration
Option 1 : 700 - 800 MW Block with 1 GT + 1 HRSG and 1 ST in Single Shaft / Multi Shaft Configuration
13. The Table V-2 lists out the 1 GT + 1 HRSG + 1 ST configuration from leading manufacturers viz. GE, MHI and Siemens.
Ansaldo GT 36 was not considered in the comparison as the power output at site condition is lesser than 700 MW. The
site gross output of the plant at 100% MCR condition varies from 730 MW to 800 MW and the overall weighted average
gross efficiency varies about 56% to 59%. The auxiliary power consumption varies from about 15.7 MW to about 16.9 MW.
The weighted average gross efficiency was calculated considering that the CCPP will operate under cyclic load condition
(12 hrs at 100% MCR & remaining 12 hrs at minimum emission load).
14. The number of generators for the block of 700 – 800 MW power island in multi shaft configuration would be two (one for
GT and one for ST).
Option – 2: 700 - 800 MW Block with 2 GT + 2 HRSG and 1 ST in Multi Shaft Configuration
15. Table V-3 lists out the 2 GTG + 2 HRSG + 1 STG in multi shaft configuration from leading manufacturers viz. Ansaldo, GE
and Siemens. The site gross output varies from about 832 MW to about 891 MW and the overall weighted average
efficiency varies from 52.3% to 53.1%. The weighted average gross efficiency was calculated considering that the CCPP
will operate under cyclic load condition (12 hrs at 100% MCR & remaining 12 hrs at minimum emission load).
16. The number of generator for this power island in multi shaft configuration would be three (2 for GT and 1 for ST) and three
(3) numbers of associated generator transformers
Recommendation of CCPP configuration for the power plant
17. The Land required for the above options are illustrated in table below;
Table V-4: Land requirement for Gas Turbines
Power block, acres 5.2 6.5
Electrical Area, acres 0.8 1.6

Cooling System, acres 1.2 1.3

Land for other miscellaneous requirements (BOP, PECC, road, 7.2 8.8
etc.), acres
Total, acres 15.0 19.0
Note: The above area doesn’t include Green Belt
18. For a combined cycle power plant in the range of 800 MW output firing RLNG with price ranging between $7 MMBTU, a
difference of one or two percentage points in plant efficiency is most important. Depending on utilization and average fuel
price, even a single percentage point improvement in efficiency could reduce the operating cost considerably. Hence, it is
proposed to install advanced class machines (H Class) with water cooled condenser for the proposed power project. In the
Option 1, the plant in single shaft configuration as well as multi shaft configurations having 1GT+1HRSG+1STG
combinations for advanced class (H class) gas turbines are proven in service and are technically acceptable.
19. Hence for the purpose of this study, Siemens 1 x SCC 5 – 9000 HL in single shaft configuration with water cooled
condenser (sea water based) is selected and discussed further.

CHAPTER – VII
VII. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
1. The environmental impact of the proposed combined heat and power plant, covering the following aspects is presented
in this chapter:
- Site features
- Air pollution
- Water pollution
- Thermal pollution
- Noise abatement
- Pollution monitoring and surveillance systems
Site feature
2. The site proposed for the installation of the combined cycle power plant is located at Ennore, near Chennai City, Tamil
Nadu. The Site is mainly located near industrial area and coal- based power plants. Within the vicinity plant, there are no
any national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, tropical forests and biosphere reserves.
Air Pollution
3. The expected air pollutants from a combined heat and power plant are:
- Nitrogen oxides in flue gas
- Sulfur dioxide in flue gas
4. RLNG, which is the main fuel proposed in the gas turbines is a clean fuel without any constituent to generate the
particulate matter in flue gas. Hence, there would be no particulate matter in the flue gas of the combined heat and power
plant.
5. In case of NG firing there would not be any emission of Sulphur dioxide, as the NG does not have any Sulphur content.
The only pollutant in the flue gas would be oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Typical values of NOx in the flue gas would be less
than 51 ppm (15% oxygen volume dry basis) and this would be achieved using low NOx dry type hybrid burners in the gas
turbines. The values of NOx would be about 25 ppm, but for guarantee purposes a value less than 51 ppm would be
considered as stipulated by World Bank norms.
Table VII-1: Emission guidelines as per World Bank

Combustion Technology Nitrogen Dioxide Dry Gas, Excess O2, Content (%)
Gas Turbine 51 ppm 15 %
6. Online monitors would be used to constantly monitor oxides of nitrogen in the flue gas and
in case of excess amount of any pollutant, suitable corrective action would be taken. In
view of the above-mentioned provisions, the installation of the combined cycle power plant
would not have any significant impact on the ambient air quality.
7. The height of stack shall be selected to meet the ambient air concentration limits as
stipulated in the Table- VII.1 above.
Water pollution
8. The sources of effluents from the proposed power plant are the following:
- RO reject water
- Water Treatment Plant
- Blow down of Cooling Tower and side stream filtration
- Plant Area Drains
- Plant Oily water drains
- GT compressor wash water
Plant Area Drains
9. The plant drains water from main plant area and such other areas will be led to existing
effluent treatment pond. The oil contained drain shall be treated in Oil water separators
and transferred to the common effluent pond. Treated water from outlet of oil water
separator shall be collected in common effluent pond. Waste oil separated & sludge is
collected in sludge oil sump and disposed outside.
Noise Abatement
10. Gas turbine would be provided with enclosure to ensure noise level within code
guidelines. Gas engines would be provided with silencers in both intake air and exhaust
gas systems to reduce the noise level.
11. The Environmental (Protection) Rules, stipulate the ambient air quality standards in
respect of noise for industrial area as follows:
- Day time - 75 dB (A)
- Nighttime - 70 dB (A)
12. The far field noise level from the gas turbine / gas engine at the plant boundary will be
within the limits stipulated.
Gaseous Fuel Vents and Liquid Condensate
13. All the gas lines and gas conditioning skid vent connections would be terminated at
a safe height of about 3m above the operating platform level. The vent lines would be
terminated with flame arrestors. The condensate removed from the fuel gas in the
scrubber would be collected in a collection tank and disposed suitably.
Pollution Monitoring and Surveillance System
14. A well-defined environmental monitoring programme would be instituted with trained and
qualified staff that would monitor the ambient air as well as stack gas quality to ensure that
the quality of effluents is maintained within the permissible levels. The stack would be
provided with suitable ports to monitor the exhaust gas quality from the stacks. Suitable
analysers will be provided for exhaust gas quality analysis. The quality of water effluents
from the plant would be analysed on daily basis or as required to ensure that effluents are
maintained within the permissible levels.
Impact of Pollution / Environmental Disturbances
15. The proposed combined heat and power would require less land area compared to similar
capacity fossil fuel fired cogeneration plants and would use a clean gaseous fuel. NOx,
SOx emissions would be minimum. The water effluents would be treated in the existing
effluent treatment plant and reused. Hence, it is considered that there would be no
adverse impact on either the air or the water quality in and around the proposed combined
heat and power plant.

CHAPTER –VIII
VIII. PROJECT EXECUTION
1. The success factor of any project is directly related to adoption of an appropriate project
delivery method. Various methods available for the execution of the project are as follows;
 Public Private Partnership (PPP)

 Independent Power Producer (IPP)
 Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC)
Public Private Partnership (PPP)
2. The idea of cooperation between public entity and private organisation in order to meet the
growing needs of society and country has been developing through centuries. The
experience gained in the area of PPP clearly indicates that the main reasons for
partnerships are risk sharing and the ability of the private sector to deliver, finance,
maintain, and operate a project at lower costs than the public sector. A public–private
partnership (PPP) is a government service or private business venture which is funded
and operated through a partnership of government and one or more private sector
companies. These schemes are sometimes referred to as PPP or P3. PPP involves a
contract between a public sector authority and a private party, in which the private party
provides a public service or project and assumes substantial financial, technical and
operational risk in the project. In some types of PPP, the cost of using the service is borne
exclusively by the users of the service and not by the taxpayer. In other types (notably the
private finance initiative), capital investment is made by the private sector on the basis of a
contract with government to provide agreed services and the cost of providing the service
is borne wholly or in part by the government. Government contributions to a PPP may also
be in kind (notably the transfer of existing assets). In some other cases, the government
may support the project by providing revenue subsidies, including tax breaks or by
removing guaranteed annual revenues for a fixed time period.
3. There are various PPP models available for the execution and the major ones are as
below;
 Build Operate and Transfer ( BOT): The private-sector partner finances, builds, owns
and operates the power plant in perpetuity. The public-sector partner's constraints are
stated in the original agreement and through on-going regulatory authority.
 Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT): The private-sector partner is granted
authorization to finance, design, build and operate the power plant (and to charge
user fees) for a specific period of time, after which ownership is transferred back to
the public-sector.
4. Objectives of PPP model is to make sure government services are delivered in the most
economical, effective and efficient manner, to increase overall economic growth by
creatingopportunities for private sector and appropriate allocation of risk and
returns between public and private sector.
5. Major features of the PPP are as follows;

 The land is provided by the Owner on which the Project is set up by the Private
developer
 The Project would be financed and executed by the Private developer.
 The Owner will enter into a PPA agreement with the developer for purchasing the
power generated at the agreed rates with provision for escalation and fixing the yearly
take off.
 The risk in this mode would be the availability of the Gas to operate the plant.
Availability of the fuel for the contracted period is a risk which the developer has to
take.
 In the event the agreed power is not taken, then the developer will have to be
compensated for the shortfall in the revenue which would be again a burden to the
Owner.
 In the present scenario, there is high doubt about any developer coming forward to
set up the plant and operate considering the prevailing market conditions and gas
availability for a long term.
 Under the present scenario, there is sufficient power available in the grid which can
be sourced through the energy exchange portal and this would be more economical.
Independent Power Producer (IPP)
6. An Independent Power Producer (IPP) is a result of privatization and economy

liberalization in infrastructure in various parts of the world. IPPs have taken various forms
as the electricity markets evolved in various countries and regions. The evolutions are
closely related to dynamics of structural/regulatory, economic/financial, technological, and
environmental conditions.
7. An IPP is a power-generating entity that typically sells the power it generates under a
power purchase agreement (PPA) with the incumbent utility, or large customers. It is
common to see the PPA take the form of build own operate transfer (BOOT), which
permits an investor to “build,” “own,” and “operate” the generation facilities and then
“transfer” them to the host purchaser upon the termination of the contract. In fully
restructured markets, IPPs may also operate on a purely commercial basis in which
generators can offer their production in the Spot Markets.
8. Major features of the IPP are as follows;

 The demand for the electricity to be produced at a competitive price while earning
acceptable returns is of paramount importance for an IPP to invest in the project
 This is similar to the PPP with only difference is that the land to be arranged by the
Developer including the availability of the fuel for operation of the Plant.
 The developer may have an option to deliver the excess power to other users by
entering a PPA.
 In the present scenario, there is high doubt about any developer coming forward to
set up the plant and operate considering the prevailing market conditions.
 Availability of the fuel for the contracted period is a risk which the developer has to take.
Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC)
9. Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts are the contracts used
primarily in complex industrial and infrastructure projects like power plants, bridges, dams
etc. EPC contracts involve a deal between the owner and a contractor, who is required to
deliver certain design, construction, logistics, transport etc. related work to the Project
financer. As it transfers the liability to the contractor and mitigates risks of the project, it is
favourable for the Project financer.
10. Single package or multiple package procurement philosophy are available in EPC.
11. Major features of the EPC are as follows;

 Single responsibility of the Contractor executing the job
 The complete Risk with regard to the Construction and Commissioning is with the
Contractor
 Owner would be able to monitor the progress effectively with the Contractor
 This is suited when Owner does not have the requisite skilled persons to monitor the
Project
 Project can be completed within the agreed schedule.
 On successful commissioning the Plant will be handed over to the Owner ,who would
do the O&M, or may appoint an O&M operator to operate the Plant.
 Owner to enter into an LTSA with the OEM for the maintenance of the Turbines.
12. The EPC contract plays vital role in power project development. Due to investment of
private partners in PPP/IPP, risk is more to private sector, mainly to the lenders or
financers which goes into bad loans and delay in project completion. Because of these risk
factors nowadays there is low interest from the investors in PPP / IPP.
13. To revive PPP (Public Private Partnership) in highway construction, Government of India
has introduced Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM). The HAM is a mix of PPP (BOOT) and EPC
model. In this model the Government will contribute up to 40% of the project cost through
five equal payments (annuity), whereas the 60% of the project cost will be raised by the
developer from loan or equity. Advantage of HAM is that it gives enough liquidity to the
developer and the financial risk is shared by the government. While the private partner
continues to bear the construction and maintenance risks as in the case of BOOT model,
he is required only to partly bear the financing risk. This model can be explored for the
power project also.
14. Based on the above discussion it is recommended to execute the proposed project
through EPC contract, the Contractor would be responsible for detailed engineering,
procurement, project management, construction, testing, commissioning up to satisfactory
performance test and handing over the project.
15. The preliminary market analysis indicates that the schedule completion of the proposed
project would be about 34 months from the Notice to proceed (refer Exhibit-5). The
schedule has been arrived based on the following:
 Zero date for the project has been considered as the date of placement of order
for Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract.
 It has been assumed that the clearances by different agencies of the
government would be obtained prior to placement of order for EPC contract
16. Exhibit-5 provides the preliminary project milestone chart for the project.
Operation and Maintenance of Advance class gas turbines
17. The two most important factors for the advanced class gas turbine are availability and
maintenance cost. Gas turbines and particularly their hot gas path components exhibit
relatively high maintenance cost and short in-service inspection cycles, in comparison with
most main components of the power plant.
18. Operating the advanced class gas turbines is becoming significantly expensive due to
associated risk in new technology, high cost of spares, uncertainty and increase in fuel
price. However, the advanced class machines provide higher efficiency and longer life of
parts. Spare parts management plays an important role in achieving the desired plant
availability at an optimum cost.
19. There are a number of ways to mitigate the involed risk in operation and maintenance of
these gas turbines like the traditional approach of performing the operation and
maintenance by the owner, letting the operation and maintenance to the O&M contractor
and the fixed price maintenance contract.
Transactional Piecemeal Order
20. Transactional Piecemeal order is the traditional way of performing the maintenance of the
power plant. The required spare parts would be procured on as and when required basis.
This would require a dedicated and skillfull operation and maintenance team, and
procurement team.
21. The major disadvantage is that it does not provide the Owner, a predictable fixed long
term maintenance cost and does not cover any gurantees. The overall risk lies with the
owner.
Long Term Service Agreement (LTSA)
22. Long Term Service Agreement (LTSA) otherwise means maintenance agreements,
contractual service agreements, and perhaps most commonly, long term service
maintenance agreement is an agreement between the Customer and the third party. The
Third party could be Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) / Non OEM who would
undertake the responsibility for maintenance and repairs of the facility, for an agreed fee.
23. By transfering agreed risk to the contractor, LTSA offer the owner a mechanism for
controlling maintenance cost and maximizing the reliability while minimizing the need for
internal resources to manage and perform maintenance.
24. LTSA typically cover replacement of parts, repair of parts and services for a planned gas
turbine maintenance and inspection activities over a set period of time or a set number of
major outages. LTSA typically commit the contractor for providing on a relatively “fixed-
price” basis, maintenance services for the equipment and with predictable cashflow. LTSA
also includes diagnostic and technical support on unplanned maintenance work.
25. While LTSA offers many advantages, caution has to be exercised in drafting the contract
to mitigate the risk. Some of the major aspects to be considered while drafting LTSA are
as follows;
 Inappropriate allocation of prolonged start-up risk: The pricing of LTSA is based on
number of factored fired hours, number of starts or combination of both. This basis
often fails to distinguish the hours or starts occurring before commercial operation
date (COD). As a result, these could be charged to the Owner under LTSA, even
though they are attributable to the OEM. This could be mitigated while entering into a
Contract.
 Performance Guarantee: Standard LTSA includes only the guarantees for
improvement in performance degradation and does not include the response time and
the delay in the outage.
 Defining the schedule maintenance: LTSA should clearly define the contractor’s
scope of work, list of equipment / components involved for the schedule maintenance
to avoid any disputes.
 Defining the Extra Work: Most LTSA includes Extra Work, and the owner can request
contractor to perform other services that are normally not included in the contract.
Care should be taken to ensure that the Extra Work/ other services as per owner’s
request is not a part of maintenance work already required to be performed by
contractor under LTSA.
 Term of LTSA: Often, the term of LTSA will expire upon the conclusion of an agreed
scheduled maintenance cycle. This would result in a risk if the operational profile of
the equipment changes during the term of LTSA. Hence, to mitigate this risk suitable
sunset clause need to be incorporated in the contract.
 Extended End-of-Term parts life warranty: Care should be taken to ensure that the
contractor provides warranty for the last installed parts until the next scheduled
maintenance.
26. LTSA can be incorporated along with the EPC specification during the detailed
engineering stage.
CHAPTER –IX
IX. PROJECT COST ESTIMATION AND TARIFF CALCULATION
Basis of Project Cost Estimate
1. The project cost estimate has been worked out based on prevailing prices and rates as on
September 2020. The cost have been worked out based on the American Association for
Cost Estimation – Maturity level of Class 4. Class 4 estimates are generally prepared
based on limited information and subsequently have fairly wide accuracy ranges. They are
typically used for project screening, determination of feasibility, concept evaluation, and
preliminary budget approval. Typical accuracy ranges for Class 4 estimates are -15% to -
30% on the low side, and +20% to +50% on the high side, depending on the technological
complexity of the project, appropriate reference information, and other risks (after
inclusion of an appropriate contingency determination). Ranges could exceed those
shown if there are unusual risks.
2. The Project is considered to be executed through limited equipment / system packages.

The total project cost estimate includes equipment / systems such as gas turbine
generators and auxiliaries, heat recover steam generators and auxiliaries, steam turbine
generator and auxiliaries, fuel gas system, water systems, control and instrumentation
system, electrical system and balance of plant required for the power plant, spares,
erection and commissioning charges, taxes and duties, insurance, overheads and pre-
operative expenses.
Cost of Land
3. The land for the proposed for the combined cycle power plant is Ennore thermal power
station complex and it is with TANGEDCO. Hence cost for the land acquisition and R&R is
not included in this project cost estimate.
Basis of Capital Cost Estimate
4. The cost of heavy-duty gas turbine generators, heat recovery steam generators and
steam turbine generators and other auxiliary systems are based on in-house cost
database for similar range of CCPP plants. The cost includes design, supply, erection,
testing & commissioning of the systems.
5. The cost of dismantling of any existing structures and underground facilities are not
envisaged in the estimate.
6. The civil & structural cost is estimated based on prevailing steel, cement & rebar cost in
the market. The Piling foundation is considered for the purpose of project cost estimate.
The main stack and bypass stack shall be of steel construction.
7. The estimation covers cost towards tapping off sea water from the proposed intake for
upcoming 660 MW coal-based power plant, fuel gas pipeline near to the boundary and,
plant switchyard. However, it does not include the cost for transmission network and any
other outside plant facilities.
8. The cost for establishment / extension of colony for power plant O&M staffs are not
included in the estimate.
9. The cost of spares has been estimated as 2.5% of the supply cost for mechanical, C&I
and electrical items.
10. The taxes & duties for supply and services are considered as per GST structure for
indigenous items and as per custom duty for offshore items.
Natural Gas Pricing and Basis of Tariff Calculation
11. TANGEDCO is planning to obtain the RLNG from IOCL, Ennore terminal through a long-
term contract. The prevailing price of IOCL (May 2020) is as follows;
- FE Component = 5.4973 USD/MMBTU

- INR Component = 106.91 Rs/MMBTU
Considering the above for the estimation purpose, the fuel cost is considered as
$7/MMBTU. However, the actual gas price shall be fixed as per gas supply agreement
between GAIL/IOCL & TANGEDCO. Further the fuel cost is considered as fixed cost and
no escalation is considered.
12. The following details are considered for computing interest during construction (IDC) and
estimation of cost of generation.

Cost of Generation
17. The two-part tariff model has been adopted to calculate the cost of generation. As per this
model the tariff for energy is sum of two components, a fixed charge component and a
variable charge component as discussed below.
18. Fixed Charges
The items of cost forming a part of the fixed charge components are:
- Interest on term loan

- Return on equity
- Interest on working capital
- Depreciation
- Operation and Maintenance
The fixed cost based on discount rate of 9.35 % for 25 years of the proposed cogeneration
plant at station bus bar after allowing for auxiliary power consumption and fuel gas cost of
US$ 7/MMBTU works out to be Rs.2.29/kWh at 73.8% PLF
19. Variable Charges: The variable charge component of the tariff includes cost of RLNG
required annually for power generation according to load factor. The variable cost based
on discount rate of 9.35 % for 25 years of the proposed cogeneration plant at station bus
bar after allowing for auxiliary power consumption and fuel gas cost of US$ 7/MMBTU
works out to be Rs.3.25/kWh at 73.8% PLF
20. The levelized cost of generation per kWh based on discount rate of 9.35 % for 25 years of
the proposed cogeneration plant at station bus bar after allowing for auxiliary power
consumption and fuel gas cost of US$ 7/MMBTU works out to be Rs.5.54/kWh at 73.8%
PLF.
Sensitivity Analysis
21. Variation of Capex: A sensitivity analysis is carried out with variation of estimated Capex
and the influence on Cost of generation (Fixed & Variable Cost) is furnished in below
graph;
Figure IX-1: Variation in Capital Cost Vs Cost of Generation
17. Variation of Gas Price: The below graph illustrates the variation in cost of generation
(Fixed & variable) due to the variation in landed gas price;
Figure IX-2: Variation in Gas Price Vs Cost of Generation

18. Variation of Plant Load Factor: The below graph illustrates the variation in Plant Load
Factor and its effect on the cost of generation (Fixed & variable);
Figure IX-3: Variation in PLF Vs Cost of Generation

Note: The above PLF is based on plant operating at weighted average load of 100% MCR and MEL. In case the plant operates at 100% Load with
90% PLF the Fixed cost is about Rs. 1.89/kWh and variable cost is about Rs. 3.13/kWh
19. Variation of H Class Vs F Class Machine: The below graph illustrates the variation in Plant
Load Factor and its effect on the cost of generation (Fixed & variable) for H class & F
class machines;
Figure IX-4: H Class Vs F Class

Note: The above PLF is based on plant operating at weighted average load of 100% MCR and MEL. In case the F Class machine as the
plant is of with 2 on 1 configuration, one GT+ HRSG can be shutdown to achieve low MEL.
