EFFICIENT POWER GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT
-
Efficient control and instrument usage in the power sector has a tremendous potential to address the issue of power shortages. There is a huge gap in demand and supply of power which is very costly in our country. To bridge the gaps, India needs to develop new technologies in control and instrumentation in power plants. The efficient technologies in control and instrumentation in power plants lead to increase in power production, quality of power, reduced power costs, efficient distribution systems and ensures safety measures. This was stated by Mr R N Srivastava, Chairman, Central Electricity Authority at the inaugural session seminar on "Latest on Latest Trends in Control & Instrumentation for Power Plants, jointly organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Central Board of Irrigation & Power (CBIP), at New Delhi.
