} Backing down below 55% load and/or increase in ramp rates will
have effect on the fatigue life of the equipment.
} Backing down below 55% load will also have other negative
impacts on the equipment as discussed earlier and is under
further investigation
} 2 shift operation will significantly reduce the life of the
equipment.

WB Proposed backing down - 2022
} During evening 3010MW to be put to two shift operation (at 85%
availability it comes to 2558MW). Shutdown during daytime.
(>25 year old plants – Mejia 210)
} During daytime 1510MW backed down to 55%. Offloading =
577MW (>15 year old plants, Bakreshwar)
} 4382MW backed down to 70% = 1117MW (Newer plants, DPL,
