Bhubaneswar, March 14 : The Captive Power Plant -3 (CPP-3) of Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) has set two fresh records in average single-day power generation on consecutive days, the company said in a statement on Monday. The CPP-3 had created a new record by producing 48.56 MW of Electrical Power on March 12 and it took less than 24-hours for the record to be broken yet again. Blazing a trail of success, on the very next day that is on March 13, the t broke this record to create another new one by generating 49.02 MW of power on a single-day. The previous best of the t was 48.11 MW achieved on February 3, 2021. The Captive Power Plant -3 consists of Steam Turbine Generators in Power Blowing Station, Top Recovery Turbine Generator and Back Pressure Turbine Generator. RSP Director In-Charge Atanu Bhowmick has congratulated the workers and urged them to make excellence a habit. The t registered best monthly performances in this financial year 2021-22 including the best February since the inception of CPP-3. These outstanding achievements were possible through major overhauling of all three Turbo-blowers of Power and Blowing station leading to savings of 12 Tonne steam per hour per turbo-blower which was efficiently utilized for enhanced power generation in Steam Turbine generators. This is a great achievement considering the fact that this record power generation was done in addition to the continuous supply of the required cold blast volume of 3,30,000 Nm3 of air with pressure of 4.10 kg/cm2 to Blast Furnace#5 for hot metal production.
