BHEL is the largest producer of power generating equipment including turbines, generators, boilers and auxiliaries in the country. BHEL has already supplied thermal sets upto 500 MW rating and has the technology to go upto 800 MW. BHEL manufactured 500/236 MW Nuclear sets are also installed in the country.

The BHEL manufactured sets accounts for 65% of total installed capacity in India. There is ample scope for improving the plant availability by cutting down the shut down period, by Renovation & modernization , Rehabilitation and by timely arranging the spare parts and other services.

Based on our more then 35 years experience in the field of Design , manufacturing , erection and operating experience , services in steam turbine , BHEL is undertaking Renovation and modernization of BHEL & NON-BHEL Thermal Power Plants. This includes, Life assessment studies recommendation for up-rating / upgradation ,also includes retrofitting, repairs, overhauling , with improved efficiency and heat rate and performance guarantee for a reasonable time period. Spares for TG sets : For preventive and capital maintenance, these can be planned in advance, but it is difficult to predict and to organize the same in case of sudden break-down specially in case of non-BHEL sets due to various constraints. BHEL has taken lead role by providing specialized services, retrofitting renovating and supply of even such spare parts for which complete design information and manufacturing drawings are not available from original suppliers.

Renovation & modernizations (R & M) projects:

We have successfully executed R & M of 2x121MW Korba TPS sets. While 2x120 Ukai TPS is under execution, besides we have R & M of received order for 2x120 MW Gandhinagar TPS which is under advance stage of engineering & procurement.

Hydro-Mechanical Gates for Hydro Projects

BHEL has expertise in the design of the hydro mechanical equipments for the water resources projects. Various types of gates and hoists including vertical lift gates, slide gates, radial gates, sector gates, draft tube gates, stop logs, bulk heads, electrical hoists, hydraulic hoists, gantry cranes, screw hoists, mono rail hoists etc. are designed and manufactured in BHEL.
