Capacity addition of 500 MW is ongoing at the site, this phase is known as Korba West Extension Thermal Power Plant. [4] Dr Shyama Prasad Mukharjee Thermal Power Station, a 500 MW (2x250 MW) coal-based thermal power ...
The majority of the world's thermal power stations are driven by steam turbines, gas turbines, or a combination of the two. The efficiency of a thermal power station is determined by how effectively it converts heat energy into electrical energy, specifically the ratio of saleable electricity to the heating value of the fuel used.
Super Thermal Power Stations or Super Power Station are a series of ambitious power projects planned by the Government of India. With India being a country of chronic power deficits, the Government of India has planned to provide 'power for all' by the end of the eleventh plan .
