OJSC Power Machines has been tasked with the design, engineering, construction and installation of the BARH Phase I projects in the Indian state of Bihar, which are being built for state-owned utility NTPC.
The BARH Phase I units 1, 2 and 3 are expected to have a combined power generating capacity of 1,980MW.
SPX Heat Transfer plans to manufacture the feedwater heaters at its main facility located in Tulsa in the US state of Oklahoma, and ship the units to India.
The power plant uses supercritical steam generation, with water being converted directly into steam without passing through the boiling phase.
The feedwater heating component pre-heats the water and facilitates a more gradual heat transfer, thus improving the thermodynamic efficiency of the entire system, SPX Corporation said.
