INSTALLED ELECTRICITY GENERATION CAPACITY IN INDIA

ELECTRICITY GENERATION IN INDIA

India is now 3^rd ranked of electricity generation followed by Chine, USA.

Over the past two hundred years the use of primary energy sources in manufacturing or processing has evolved from simply using locally available resources, like water power, water reservoir, firewood and coal. Fossil fuel in the form of oil, natural gas and coal comprise approximately 80% of the world energy use. Now we have enough quantity of fossil fuel for use. Nonrenewable sources are not considered to be specific energy source in longer term due to their decreasing supply in comparison to their demand. In India electricity generation mostly depend on the thermal power station (65%). Electricity generated by coal, diesel and gas is known as thermal generation. Coal is the primary source of the thermal power station. Coal is non-renewable energy source but still we use coal for electricity generation in thermal power plant. The supply of energy against this demand of energy is less. About 70% of the petroleum products are to be imported from foreign countries. We have no renewable resources for energy is 1% of the world and the population is 16% of the world population.

Total Installed generation capacity of India is 3, 71,050 MW, Which is include installed capacity of thermal Power plant 2, 30,900 MW, Installed capacity of renewable energy plant 87670 MW, Installed capacity of Hydro power plant 45700 MW, Installed capacity of Nuclear power plant 6780 MW, Installed capacity of solar power plant 35122 MW, Installed capacity of bio-power 10050 MW, Installed capacity of wind power plant 37830 MW, installed capacity of small hydro power 4690 MW.

For understanding generation of India we divided generation of India into five regions

1.   North region (86,712 MW)

2.   West region (1,31,746 MW)

3.   South region  (1,05,554 MW)

4.   East region (42,350 MW)

5.   North-East region (4700 MW)

Total generation of different region is different and they share generated electricity to other region. Every region contains four or more states. Different power plant located in different location according to its own advantages primary sources. Generation of electricity in different region from Coal, Gas, Diesel, Nuclear, Hydro, Renewable energy sources, Wind, Solar, Bio-gas, Tidal, Private sector.

Installed capacity of Western Region

          West region contains five state and two union territory so total five center of generation. Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Daman and Diu, Dadra nagar haveli. Total Installed generation capacity of western region is 1,31,750 MW, Which is include installed capacity of thermal Power plant 96300 MW, Installed capacity of renewable energy plant 26230  MW, Installed capacity of Hydro power plant 7400 MW, Installed capacity of Nuclear power plant 1840 MW.
