8. SWOT Analysis
8
Strength
Huge Capacity generation in pipeline
Strategically Located Power Projects
Weakness
Distribution-something new for
Reliance
Financing Dadri project - a big
liability
Opportunities
Huge scope in power sector-Nearly half
the geographical area doesn’t have
electricity-Distribution Opportunities
Setting up largest thermal plant in Orissa ,
which has huge deposits of Coal Reserves
Threat
Any delay in project implementation
(Increase in interest rate)
Other players in the market, like Tata
NTPC, Jindal, Adani NHPC
Dealing with state regulators who
determine tariff rates

doing surveillance to avoid
future pitfalls
14. 14
Problem : Poor condition of boiler pressure
parts with high erosion, overheating, external
corrosion, oxide deposits, weak headers and
pressurized furnace etc.
Solution : Boiler Temperature maintaining
sensors
15. 15
• High vibrations in Boiler Feed Pumps and Condensate
Pumps and passing of recirculation valves, resulting in
low discharge
• Low vacuum in condenser due to dirty / plugged tubes,
air ingress and tube leakages

Problem : Poor condition of Electrostatic
Precipitators (ESPs) resulting in high
emissions.
17. Can we earn
from this
waste?
17
Solution : Targeting Additional Revenue Sources
By selling carbon credits and fly ash- Sasan,
Krishnapatnam, Chitrangi and Tilaiya power
projects will be eligible for the CDM benefits as a
result of the supercritical technologies. ash
procurers in NCR and Western Uttar Pradesh
largest portfolio of highest quality Carbon offsets
with a CDM registered project portfolio, of more
than 8000 MW, with potential to offset 60 million
Certified Emission Reductions (also called Carbon
credits).
19. 19
Problem : Poor performance of the milling
system resulting in high un burnt carbon. This
was often a result of lack of preventive or
scheduled maintenance.
Problem : Poor condition of Balance of Plant
(BoP) resulting in under-utilization of
capacities

Practices
1. PLF- This resulted in improvement in plant
load factor of the PIE power plants from an
average of 43.9% before implementation of
PIE to 52.1% during the year 2007-08.
2. Improved energy efficiency
3. Strategic deployment of resources and
