Anpara Thermal Power Station

Anpara Thermal Power Station is located at Anpara in Sonbhadra district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, about 180 km (110 mi) from Varanasi on the Varanasi - Shakti Nagar route. It has a total power-generation capacity of 3850 MW using 9 units.

Operations

There are in total nine operational units, all of which are coal-fired thermal power stations. The machinery for the UPRVUNL's Anpara A ( 3 units of 210MW each) are from Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited. UPRVUNL'S Anpara B (two units of 500 mW each) from Toshiba Corporation, Japan. Machinery for Anpara C were sourced by Lanco power from Dongfang Electric Company (China). Machinery for UPRVUNL'S Anpara D (2 units of 500 MW Each) is sourced from BHEL.

The coal to all these units is fed from Kharia, Kakri and Beena open coal mines of NCL by company owned freight trains, a merry go round system maintained by UPRVUNL and previously on roads by Dumpers.

In year 2007 Anpara C was allotted to be constructed in PPP sector domain. The new 2x600MW power plant made under PPP By Lanco Infratech. On 13 November 2019 there was a blast in Anpara D due to accidental leakage of hydrogen gas from the generator of 500 MW unit and made two 500 MW units out of operation. The blast was so intense and severe that the generator of one of the unit simply turned into pieces and four assistant engineers who were in control room suffered splinter and burn injuries.

gollark: They mostly just had more polished versions of existing products?
gollark: Nonzero ≠ worth caring about.
gollark: The chance is so ridiculously tiny that it is practically zero. If you can break SHA256 etc. you will be extremely rich.
gollark: Basically all cryptominers are burning huge amounts of ASIC time to generate slightly closer to 0 hashes. A collision is basically impossible unless the hash function gets broken somehow.
gollark: I like what Nim does. You can define AST→AST macros and simple substitution ones for common cases.
