PREFACE

A thermal power station is a power plant in which the prime mover is steam driven.
Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which either drives an
electrical generator or does some other work, like ship propulsion. After it passes
through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser and recycled to where it
was heated; this is known as a Rankine cycle.
Almost all coal, nuclear, geothermal, solar thermal electric, and waste incineration
plants, as well as many natural gas power plants are thermal. Natural gas is
frequently combusted in gas turbines as well as boilers.
Commercial electric utility power stations are most usually constructed on a very large
scale and designed for continuous operation. Electric power plants typically use threephase or individual-phase electrical generators to produce alternating current (AC)
electric power at a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz (hertz, which is an AC sine wave per
second) depending on its location in the world.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Almost all coal, nuclear, geothermal, solar thermal electric, and waste incineration
plants, as well as many natural gas power plants are thermal. Natural gas is
frequently combusted in gas turbines as well as boilers. The waste heat from a gas
turbine can be used to raise steam, in a combined cycleplant that improves overall
efficiency. Power plants burning coal, oil, or natural gas are often referred to
collectively as fossil-fuel power plants. Some biomass-fueled thermal power plants
have appeared also. Non-nuclear thermal power plants, particularly fossil-fueled
plants, which do not usecogeneration, are sometimes referred to as conventional
power plants.
In thermal power stations, mechanical power is produced by a heat engine that
transforms thermal energy, often from combustion of a fuel, into rotational energy.
Most thermal power stations produce steam, and these are sometimes called steam
power stations. Not all thermal energy can be transformed into mechanical power,
according to the second law of thermodynamics. Therefore, there is always heat lost
to the environment. If this loss is employed as useful heat, for industrial processes or
district heating, the power plant is referred to as a cogeneration power plant or CHP
(combined heat-and-power) plant. In countries where district heating is common,
there are dedicated heat plants called heat-only boiler stations. An important class of
power stations in the Middle East uses by-product heat for the desalination of water.

Commercial electric utility power stations are most usually constructed on a very large
scale and designed for continuous operation. Electric power plants typically use threephase or individual-phase electrical generators to produce alternating current (AC)
electric power at a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz (hertz, which is an AC sine wave per
second) depending on its location in the world. Other large companies or institutions
may have their own usually smaller power plants to supply heating or electricity to
their facilities, especially if heat or steam is created anyway for other purposes.
Shipboard steam-driven power plants have been used in various large ships in the
past, but these days are used most often in large naval ships. Such shipboard power
plants are general lower power capacity than full-size electric company plants, but
otherwise have many similarities except that typically the main steam turbines
mechanically turn the propulsion propellers, either through reduction gears or directly
by the same shaft. The steam power plants in such ships also provide steam to
separate smaller turbines driving electric generators to supply electricity in the ship.
Shipboard steam power plants can be either conventional or nuclear; the shipboard
nuclear plants are mostly in the navy. There have been perhaps about a dozen turboelectric ships in which a steam-driven turbine drives an electric generator which
powers an electric motor for propulsion.
Thermal power station is a power plant in which the prime mover is steam driven.
Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which either drives an
electrical generator or does some other work, like ship propulsion. After it passes
through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser and recycled to where it
was heated; this is known as a Rankine cycle. The greatest variation in the design of
thermal power stations is due to the different fuel sources. Some prefer to use the
term energy center because such facilities convert forms of heat energy into electrical
energy.
History
Reciprocating steam engines have been used for mechanical power sources since the
18th Century, with notable improvements being made by James Watt. The very first
commercial central electrical generating stations in New York and London, in 1882,
also used reciprocating steam engines. As generator sizes increased, eventually
turbines took over they encres the hose power.

CHAPTER 2
NEED FOR THERMAL POWER GENERATION
Scarcity of water resources: Water resources are not abundantly available and are
geographically unevenly distributed. Thus hydel power plants cannot be installed with
ease and are limited to certain locations.
Widely available alternate flues: Many alternate fuels such as coal, diesel, nuclear
fuels, geo-thermal energy sources, solar-energy, biomass fuels can be used to
generate power using steam cycles.
Maintenance and lubrication cost is lower: Once installed, these require less
maintenance costs and on repairs. Lubrication is not a major problem compared to
hydel power plant.
Coal is abundant: Coal is available in excess quantities in India and is rich form of
energy available at relatively lower cost.
Working fluid remains within the system, and need not be replaced every time thus
simplifies the process.

CHAPTER 3
CLASSIFICATION
Thermal power plants are classified by the type of fuel and the type of prime mover
Installed.
By fuel
Nuclear power plants use a nuclear reactor's heat to operate a steam turbine
generator.
Fossil fuelled power plants may also use a steam turbine generator or in the case of
natural gas fired plants may use a combustion turbine. A coal-fired power station
produces electricity by burning coal to generate steam, and has the side-effect of
producing a large amount of carbon dioxide, which is released from burning coal and
contributes to global warming
Geothermal power plants use steam extracted from hot underground rocks.
Biomass Fuelled Power Plants may be fuelled by waste from sugar cane, municipal
solid waste, landfill methane, or other forms of biomass.
Solar thermal electric plants use sunlight to boil water, which turns the generator.
By prime mover
Steam turbine plants use the dynamic pressure generated by expanding steam to turn
the blades of a turbine
Gas turbine plants use the dynamic pressure from flowing gases (air and combustion
products) to directly operate the turbine.
Combined cycle plants have both a gas turbine fired by natural gas, and a steam
boiler and steam turbine which use the hot exhaust gas from the gas turbine to
produce electricity
Reciprocating engines are used to provide power for isolated communities and are
frequently used for small cogeneration plants. Hospitals, office buildings, industrial
plants, and other critical facilities also use them to provide backup power in case of a
power outage
Microturbines, Stirling engine and internal combustion reciprocating engines are lowcost solutions for using opportunity fuels, such as landfill gas, digester gas from water
treatment plants and waste gas from oil production

Efficiency
Power is energy per unit time. The power output or capacity of an electric plant can be
expressed in units of megawatts electric (MWe). The electric efficiency of a
conventional thermal power station, considered as saleable energy (in MWe) produced
at the plant busbars as a percent of the heating value of the fuel consumed, is
typically 33% to 48% efficient. This efficiency is limited as all heat engines are
governed by the laws of thermodynamics (See: Carnot cycle). The rest of the energy
must leave the plant in the form of heat. This waste heat can go through a condenser
and be disposed of with cooling water or in cooling towers. If the waste heat is instead
utilized for district heating, it is called cogeneration. An important class of thermal
power station is associated with desalination facilities; these are typically found in
desert countries with large supplies of natural gas and in these plants, freshwater
production and electricity are equally important co-products.
Since the efficiency of the plant is fundamentally limited by the ratio of the absolute
temperatures of the steam at turbine input and output, efficiency improvements

require use of higher temperature, and therefore higher pressure, steam. Historically,
other working fluids such as mercury have been experimentally used in a mercury
vapor turbine power plant, since these can attain higher temperatures than water at
lower working pressures. However, the obvious hazards of toxicity, and poor heat
transfer properties, have ruled out mercury as a working fluid.
CHAPTER 4
BASIC DEFINITIONS
Steam is vaporized water and can be produced at 100C at standard atmosphere.
In common speech, steam most often refers to the visible white mist that condenses
above boiling water as the hot vapor mixes with the cooler air.
Turbine A turbine is a rotary engine that extracts energy from a fluid or air flow and
converts it into useful work.
The simplest turbines have one moving part, a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or
drum, with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades, or the blades react to the
flow, so that they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor. Early turbine exare
windmills and waterwheels.
Fig Typical turbine
Electric generator An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to
electrical energy. A generator forces electrons in the windings to flow through the
external electrical circuit. It is somewhat analogous to a water pump, which creates a
flow of water but does not create the water inside.

Fig Typical Generator

A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applyingheat energy


to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older
steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium
pressure
(1300 psi/0.06920.684 bar; 6.8952,068.427 kPa), but at pressures
above this it is more usual to speak of a steam generator.

A boiler or steam generator is used wherever a source of steam is required. The form
and size depends on the application: mobile steam engines such as steam
locomotives, portable engines and steam-powered road vehicles typically use a
smaller boiler that forms an integral part of the vehicle;
Second law of thermodynamics The second law of thermodynamics is an expression of
the universal principle of entropy, stating that the entropy of anisolated system which
is not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at
equilibrium; and that the entropy change dSof a system undergoing any infinitesimal
reversible process is given by dq / T, where dq is the heat supplied to the system and
T is the absolute temperature of the system.

CHAPTER 5
FUNCTIONING OF THERMAL POWER PLANT:
In a thermal power plant, one of coal, oil or natural gas is used to heat the boiler to
convert the water into steam. The steam is used to turn a turbine, which is connected
to a generator. When the turbine turns, electricity is generated and given as output by
the generator, which is then supplied to the consumers through high-voltage power
lines.

Detailed process of power generation in a thermal power plant:


Water intake: Firstly, water is taken into the boiler through a water source. If water is
available in a plenty in the region, then the source is an open pond or river. If water is
scarce, then it is recycled and the same water is used over and over again.

Boiler heating: The boiler is heated with the help of oil, coal or natural gas. A furnace
is used to heat the fuel and supply the heat produced to the boiler. The increase in
temperature helps in the transformation of water into steam.
Steam Turbine: The steam generated in the boiler is sent through a steam turbine.
The turbine has blades that rotate when high velocity steam flows across them. This
rotation of turbine blades is used to generate electricity.
Generator: A generator is connected to the steam turbine. When the turbine rotates,
the generator produces electricity which is then passed on to the power distribution
systems.
Special mountings: There is some other equipment like the economizer and air preheater. An economizer uses the heat from the exhaust gases to heat the feed water.
An air pre-heater heats the air sent into the combustion chamber to improve the
efficiency of the combustion process.
Ash collection system: There is a separate residue and ash collection system in place
to collect all the waste materials from the combustion process and to prevent them
from escaping into the atmosphere.
Apart from this, there are various other monitoring systems and instruments in place
to keep track of the functioning of all the devices. This prevents any hazards from
taking place in the plant.
A Rankine cycle with a two-stage steam turbine and a single feedwater heater.
The second law of thermodynamics states that any closed-loop cycle can only convert
a fraction of the heat produced during combustion into mechanical work. The rest of
the heat, called waste heat, must be released into a cooler environment during the
return portion of the cycle. The fraction of heat released into a cooler medium must
be equal or larger than the ratio ofabsolute temperatures of the cooling system
(environment) and the heat source (combustion furnace). Raising the furnace
temperature improves the efficiency but also increases the steam pressure,
complicates the design and makes the furnace more expensive. The waste heat
cannot be converted into mechanical energy without an even cooler cooling system.
However, it may be used in cogeneration plants to heat buildings, produce hot water,
or to heat materials on an industrial scale, such as in some oil refineries, cement
plants, and chemical synthesis plants.
Typical thermal efficiency for electrical generators in the electricity industry is around
33% for coal and oil-fired plants, and up to 50% for combined-cycle gas-fired plants

CHAPTER 6
ADVANTAGES
The fuel used is quite cheap.
Less initial cost as compared to other generating plants.
It can be installed at any place irrespective of the existence of coal. The coal can be
transported to the site of the plant by rail or road.
It requires less space as compared to Hydro power plants.

Cost of generation is less than that of diesel power plants.


This plants can be quickly installed and commissioned and can be loaded when
compare to hydel power plant
It can meet sudden changes in the load without much difficulty controlling operation
to increase steam generation
Coal is less costlier than diesel
Maintenance and lubrication cost is lower

CHAPTER 7
DISADVANTAGES
It pollutes the atmosphere due to production of large amount of smoke and fumes.
It is costlier in running cost as compared to Hydro electric plants.
well, stations always take up room for the environment which could be cultivated for
the use of growing food etc. which is a great disadvantage is our day and age, as food
is necessary to live.
However, this could create more jobs for a lot of people thus increasing in a good way
our current economic situation which by is failing miserably.
Over all capital investment is very high on account of turbines, condensers, boilers
reheaters etc .maintenance cost is also high on lubrication, fuel handling, fuel
processing.
It requires comparatively more space and more skilled operating staff as the
operations are complex and required precise execution
A large number of circuits makes the design complex
Starting of a thermal power plant takes fairly long time as the boiler operation and
steam generation process are not rapid and instantaneous

CHAPTER 8
FUTURE PROSPECTS
Effective Use of Fossil Fuels and Reduction in CO2 Emissions by Improving the
Efficiency of Thermal Power Generation
At present, thermal power generation accounts for approximately 70% of the total
amount of electricity produced around the world. However, thermal power generation,
which uses fossil fuels, causes more CO2 emissions than other power generation
methods. In order to reduce CO2emissions per unit power produced, Toshiba Group is
developing next-generation thermal power technologies aimed at improving plant
efficiency and commercializing the CCS*1 (CO2 capture and storage) system.
To improve the efficiency of thermal power generation, it is of vital importance that
the temperature of the steam or gas used to rotate the turbines is raised. Toshiba
Group is working on the development of ultra-high-temperature materials and cooling
technologies in order to commercialize an A-USC*2 system (Advanced Ultra-Super

Critical steam turbine system) more efficient than previous models, which is designed
to increase steam temperature from 600C to above the 700C mark. In the
area of combined cycle power generation using a combination of gas and steam
turbines, we are also engaged in jointly developing a power generation system
designed to increase gas temperature to the level of 1,500C with the U.S.
Company General Electric, which is starting commercial operation in July 2008 in
Japan.

Accelerating the Development of CO2 Capture and Storage Technology


The Key to Realizing Next-generation Power Generation System
Toshiba Group is engaged in the development of CO2 capture and storage (CCS)
technology designed to separate and capture CO2 emitted from thermal power plants
and other such facilities and then store it underground. More specifically, this
development is aimed at commercializing CCS technology. In order to commercialize
this technology, it is essential that we develop a system that makes it possible to
separate and capture CO2 without reducing the economic performance of a power
plant. In the course of its basic research, Toshiba Group has developed a highperformance absorbent that minimizes the energy consumption required for the CO2
capture process. Experiments conducted using small-scale test equipment have
confirmed that its level of performance is the best in the industry.
Preventive Maintenance Technologies That Support the Long-term, Stable Operation of
Facilities and Extension of the Service Life of High-temperature Gas Turbine Parts
The use of combined cycle power generation facilities using gas turbines is increasing
year by year for the purpose of achieving the reduction in CO2 emissions required to
create a low-carbon society, increasing energy use efficiency and improving economic
performance. Toshiba Group is developing various technologies that support the longterm, stable operation of facilities.
In order to analyze and assess high-temperature gas turbine parts, which are used in
harsh environments and to determine their remaining service lives based on the level
of degradation, we developed a technology for making highly accurate diagnoses by
combining a number of methods, including the finite element method (FEM) and
methods for testing cleavage strength, tensile strength, durability and fatigue
strength. We are also working to commercialize service life extension and repair
technologies aimed at recycling gas turbine rotor/stator blades and extending their
service lives. Based on the BLE (Blade Life Extension) concept unique to our
company group, we repeatedly reuse old rotor blades that meet our repair standards
instead of simply discarding them. The repair and recycling of these parts not only
reduces running costs and improves economic performance, but also effectively
minimize the environmental impact.

Rapid economic growth has increased the burden of Indias infrastructure, one of
the countrys week spots. An infrastructure deficit is widely considered to be one
of the factors that could severely affect the economic growth of the country. In
the past few years, policy makers have recognized the importance of
infrastructure in economic growth and have made concrete efforts to accelerate
infrastructure development. Power Sector continues to lag behind despite the
introduction of progressive measures. Power shortages, increased tariffs,
shortage of coal and dependence on imported fuel are on rise, while the poor
health of the distribution continues to inhibit the inflows of investments which
have possessed growth risk for the Indian Electricity Sector. India's demand for
electricity is likely to cross 300 GW, in few years earlier than most estimates.
Meeting this demand will require a fivefold to tenfold increase in the pace of
capacity addition. With the growing demand of power, there is huge potential of
investment in power sector of India. The power sector which is in the concurrent
list of the Indian Constitution is under the purview of both the central
government and the state government. The power sector which was earlier
dominated by public sector undertaking is now seeing effective participation of
the private sector which is now accountable for 28% of power generation in the
country. Power Finance Corporation Ltd. (PFC) a public financial institution
established In 1986 by the Ministry Of Power as a Financial Institution (FI) to
provide financing solution to large capital intensive power project across India
including generation, transmission, distribution and RM&U projects. My Summer
Internship Project is Project & Entity Appraisal of Thermal Power Plant. It
resolves around the appraisal of the power project promoted by the company
ABC Power Limited, which has come for financial assistance of its Capital
Expenditure and Working Capital Requirements. The project is being appraised
after evaluating it on the various parameters set by Central Electricity Regulatory
Commission (CERC) and the set parameters at PFC. My work also include
appraisal of Promoters of the project which is based on set parameters at PFC
.The aim of the appraisal is to finally arrive at the decision: whether PFC should
finance the project or not. As per the guidelines of PFC the project is evaluated
into two parts: Project Appraisal and Entity Appraisal. The format of the project
report will be in the form of Agenda Note as per PFC norms. Project Appraisal is
carried out by Project Appraisal Department which evaluate the financial and
technical viability of the project. iv Entity Appraisal is carried out by Entity

Appraisal Department and involves evaluation of the promoter of the company


on its financial flexibility and stability, the analysis of their business operations
and the competence of the management. In the end the project involves the
subjective analysis on both Project & Entity fronts and come up with the risk
involved. The project reports ends with the Recommendations on whether to
finance the project or not. v LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS BTG Boiler, Turbine &

Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1. INDIAN
POWER SECTOR Electricity is one of the most vital infrastructure inputs for
economic development of a country. The demand of electricity in India is
enormous and is growing steadily. The vast Indian electricity market, today offers
one of the highest growth opportunities for private developers. At the time of
independence in 1947, the country had a power generating capacity of 1,362
MW. Prior to independence the power sector was regulated by The Indian

Electricity Act, 1910 which was the first basic legal framework for the electricity
sector in the country. Supply of energy was the main concept around which
various provisions were woven. The act talked about the Licence for generating
and supplying electricity, Competition in generation and supply areas,
Framework of wires and works, Licensee and Consumer relationship, Safety
Measures and Theft of electricity in the power sector. Post independence our
priorities changed, the supply of electricity which was limited to cities and towns
was to be spread across the country, especially in rural areas. This was seen as a
social responsibility of the Government to provide electricity to all. Thus The
Electricity Supply Act, 1948 was passed in the Central legislature to facilitate
the establishment of regional co-ordination in the development of electricity
which envisaged formation of State Electricity Boards (SEB) as an arm of State
Government to discharge their responsibility of providing electricity to all. The
act mandated that every State shall constitute a SEB. SEBs were entrusted with
the task of developing power generation, transmission as well as distribution
facilities. The Act also called for formation of Central Electricity Authority (CEA),
which was envisaged as the main technical arm of the Central Government. It
also had to perform the role of technical advisor to the State Government, SEB,
Generation Company or any other agency and form regulations on certain
aspects of which the most important was the technoeconomic clearance of
generation projects. However, in 1970s SEBs started making losses largely on
account of political interference, mismanagement and inefficiencies in
operations. Flat rate tariff (near zero usage charge) were introduced for the
agricultural connections and high tariff was imposed on industrial & commercial
users, such cross-subsidy led to increase in theft and the losses increased. As the
boards were not able to make money, they became increasingly dependent on
the government for funding. Because of the shortage of funds, SEBs were unable
to increase generation capacity and were not maintaining their assets. Therefore,
SEBs went into a vicious cycle that led to further drop in the performance of
their operations and subsequently increased their losses. In 1980s, the SEBs
were able to show about 3% of statutory returns with the help of flawed
accounting system but in practice the accruals were not sufficient for growth and
the boards sought assistance from state governments. In this situation, the
government decided to create central generating utilities i.e. National thermal
power corporation (NTPC) & National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC) to improve
the condition of power sector. The government also tried to connect the
generating entities scattered all over the country non-uniformly
2 | Page
Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling by forming The National Grid and thus
trying to overcome generation demand supply gap prevalent in different states.
In response to the balance-of-payment crisis in 1991, the government of India
decided to open up various sectors in the economy including power sector. The
power generation sector was de-licensed and the private parties were allowed to
setup generating facilities. The change in notification gave numerous incentives
to private sector such as 16% return on equity for plants that operated at plant
load factor (PLF) of 68.5%, five year tax holiday, two part tariff, equity
requirements as low as 20% of project cost and selective guarantees from
central government for payment default by SEBs. This liberal set of policies

initially created excitement among the private investors to setup plants.


However, the excitement soon subsided because of the large political risks and
payment capacity of the already bleeding SEBs. The state boards losses were
increasing mainly due to theft and had to increasingly depend upon government
subsidy. Less than 17,000 MW were added vis--vis a planned addition 40,000
MW in the period 1971-1992. Further, such generous incentives given by the
government to the foreign investors wherein almost all the risks were borne by
the state board drew lot of criticism. SEBs were earning 12.2% internal rate of
return on their own plants and therefore paying 16% return to IPPs which did not
make sense. Under the 1910 and 1948 Acts, powers of regulation including tariff
regulations were vested on the Government. This concentration of power in the
Government and Government organizations resulted in inefficiencies of various
sorts, the most prominent manifestation was being lack of rational and
professional approach to tariff fixation. As part of reforms strategy, it was,
therefore, considered necessary to distance the sensitive aspect of tariff
regulation from the political executives on the independent Regulatory
Commissions. Thus, Government brought in The Electricity Regulatory
Commissions (ERC) act, 1998 which was the first step taken by the government
to move itself away from the regulatory aspect of the power sector and fixation
of tariff for the energy being used by the consumer. By this act the various losses
occurring at the SEBs level and the bottleneck caused due to bureaucracy
prevalent in the government organizations and political interference were tried to
minimize by formation of Central Electricity Regulatory Commissions (CERC) at
central level and State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERC) at every state.
The CERC and SERC had main responsibility of tariff determination for Central
Government and State Government owned generating stations respectively.
Bullish economic growth story of any country depends on a robust power
generation & delivery model. 1.2. POWER SECTOR REFORMS 1.2.1. THE
ELECTRICITY ACT 2003: A REVOLUTION Competition with regulatory oversight is
the framework around which the Electricity Act, 2003 is woven - competition to
encourage efficiency in performance and regulatory oversight, to safeguard
consumers interest and at the same time ensure recovery of costs for the
investors. The journey of distancing of Government from regulations that started
in 1998 has culminated in The Electricity Act of 2003. According to the new law
The
3 | Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling Government is distanced
from all forms of regulation, viz., licensing, control over generation, captive
generation, tariff fixation etc. Now the Government remains there only as a
facilitator. The Act talks about the need and ways of implementing Competition
in the power sector while considering the concerns associated with it, about the
electrification of rural areas and about liberalization of power sector. While
Liberalization is the mantra, the Electricity Act does not encourage an unbridled
growth for the sector. The regulatory Commission have been envisaged as the
watchdogs which have a responsibility to put a check on the cost of generation
through powers to regulate tariffs for supply of electricity from a generating
company to the distribution licensees on long term power purchase agreements,
as also with power to look into the costs of generation. The act also provides the
bases for formation of National Electricity Policy (NEP), National Tariff Policy

(NTP), Rural Electrification, Open access in transmission, phased open access in


distribution, Mandatory SERCs, licence free generation and distribution, power
trading, mandatory metering and stringent penalties for theft. SERCs provide
Regulatory guidelines on quality of service standards that are to be achieved and
maintained by the utility and ensure their compliance by providing for Complaint
Redressal Mechanism & Appointment of Ombudsman. SERCs mentions about the
consequences that are to be followed by the utility for non-compliance of the
guidelines. 1.2.2. NATIONAL ELECTRICITY POLICY In pursuance of the provisions
of the Electricity Act, 2003 the Central Government came out with National
Electricity Policy on 6th February 2005. The policy prescribes the following
objectives: Providing universal access in next five years for which significant
capacity addition and expansion would be required. Meeting the demand fully
by 2012 and to have spinning reserves after meeting peak requirements.
Bringing about improvements in quality of supply at reasonable rates.
Increasing per capita availability to over 1000 kWh per year by 2012. Ensuring
a minimum lifeline consumption of 365 kWh per year per household as a merit
good by 2012. Financial turnaround and attainment of commercial viability of all
entities in the sector. Protection of consumers interest. 1.2.3. NATIONAL
TARIFF POLICY In pursuance with section 3 of the Electricity Act 2003, the Central
Government notified the Tariff Policy on 6th January 2006. According to the Act,
the CERC and SERCs are to be guided by the Tariff Policy in framing its
regulations. It lays out the following objectives: Ensuring availability of
electricity to consumers at reasonable and competitive rates; Project Appraisa

Modeling 1.3 INTRODUCTION TO INDIAN POWER SECTOR Electricity is one of the
most vital infrastructure inputs for economic development of a country. The
demand of electricity in India is enormous and is growing steadily. The vast
Indian electricity market, today offers one of the highest growth opportunities for
private developers. Since independence, the Indian electricity sector has grown
many folds in size and capacity. The generating capacity has increased from a
meagre 1,362 MW in 1947 to more than 225,113 MW by May 2013, a gain of
almost 200 times in capacity addition. India's per capita energy consumption is
778kWh in 2011 -- a rise of almost 400 percent since 1980. Although, India's
energy consumption per unit of output is still rising, but it is expected to level off
and to decline in the future. India consumes two-thirds more energy per dollar of
gross domestic product (GDP) as the world average. India consumes only about
18 percent of the energy per person as the world average. Over 65 per cent of
India's electricity is produced in thermal facilities using coal or petroleum
products. Almost 19 per cent electricity is generated by hydroelectric facilities. In
its quest for increasing availability of electricity, the country has adopted a blend
of thermal, hydro and nuclear sources. Out of these, coal based thermal power
plants and in some regions, hydro power plants have been the mainstay of
electricity generation. Of late, emphasis is also being laid on non-conventional
energy sources i.e. solar, wind and tidal which constitutes about 12 percent of
the total energy generation. Figure 2: Energy Production in Billion kWh (2010)
Source: wikipedia.org India is one of the main manufacturers and users of
energy. Globally, India is presently positioned as the fifth largest manufacturer of
energy, representing roughly 2.4% of the overall energy output per annum. It is
also the worlds fifth largest energy user, comprising about 3.3% of the overall
global energy expenditure per year. In spite of its 4,326 4,207 1,145 1,037 922

energy output, Indian Power Sector is a regular importer of energy, because of
the huge disparity between oil production and utilization. Usually energy,
especially electricity, has a major contribution in speeding up the economic
development of the country. The existing production of per capita electricity in
India is above 778 kWh per annum. Ever since 1990s, Indias gross domestic
product (GDP) has been increasing very rapidly and it is estimated that it will
maintain the pace in couple of decades. The rise in GDP should be followed by an
increase in the expenditure of key energy other than electricity. The gross
electricity production capability of Indian Power Sector is placed at around
2,25,133 MW as on May 2013. Though, this is still not enough. All the Regions in
the Country namely Northern, Western, Southern, Eastern and NorthEastern
regions continued to experience energy as well as peak power shortage of
varying magnitude on an overall basis, although there were short-term surpluses
depending on the season or time of day. The energy shortage varied from 19.1%

in the Southern Region to 1.2% in the Western Region. As per CEAs forecast for
2013-2014 among the regions, only the Eastern region would have a surplus of
10.2%. Region-wise picture in regard to actual power supply position in the
country during the year 2013 -14 is given below: Table 1: All India Region wise

225133.10 Source: Power ministry as on 31-5-2013 In the past, the power sector
growth has not kept pace with the economic expansion and this has resulted in
India experiencing a 13 per cent shortage in peak capacity and 8 per cent in
energy terms, on an overall basis. Driven by the requirement to enhance the
budgetary allocations to social sectors to meet the emerging requirements of
sustainable growth, the Government has envisaged a manifold increase in the
role of the private sector in the financing and operations of the power sector.
Significant structural and regulatory reforms have paved the way for increased
private sector participation in all aspects of the sector. Many of the legal and
regulatory requirements to enable this are in place, while the operational
provisions are in different stages of implementation in different states. As per
CEAs forecast for 2013-14 18,432 MW of capacity is expected to be added,
comprising 15,234 MW of thermal power, 1,198 MW of hydropower and 2000 MW
of nuclear power. Capacity addition during 2012-13 stood at 20,502 MW.

Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling 1.4 POWER SECTOR: KEY
DEVELOPMENTS AND CURRENT STATUS Indian government forecasted the
economic growth to be 6.1% - 6.7% for the year 2013- 2014 and to sustain this
growth it is imperative for the power sector to grow with the same pace.
Therefore, it becomes essential to assess the power sector by analysing its
current status, the key challenges faced by it, and its future growth drivers.
Power is considered to be a core industry as it facilitates development across
various sectors of the Indian economy, such as manufacturing, agriculture,
commercial enterprises and railways. Though India currently has the fifth largest
electricity generation capacity in the world pegged at 2,25,133 MW, the growth
of the economy is expected to boost electricity demand in coming years. Figure
3: All India Generation Capacity Source: powermin.gov.in India saw a total
capacity addition of approximately 54,000 MW during the 11th Five Year plan, of
which approximately 47 per cent was contributed by the central government, 34
per cent from the state government, and a little over 19 per cent from the
private sector. As per the Planning Commission report capacity addition of
88000MW is estimated in 12th five year plan. Some examples of top public
sector companies include National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), Damodar
Valley Corporation (DVC) and National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC).
Some key companies in the private sector include Tata Power and Reliance
Energy Limited. In India, power is primarily generated from thermal and nuclear

fuels, hydro energy and renewable sources. Indias power generation capacity
has significantly increased since 2008, and is also expected to show a strong
growth in the future. However, India faced a power deficit of approximately 8.5
per cent and a peak demand deficit of over 10 per cent in FY11 primarily due to
fuel shortage. This shortage can be attributed to aggregate technical and
commercial (AT&C) losses, which is about 30 per cent with a high variance across
various utilities. Therefore, it is essential for the government to work proactively
to increase the sectors generation capacity in a sustainable manner by
addressing key 153188 4780 39623 27542 225133.1 34444.12 0 50000 100000

Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling challenges, such as supply shortage and
distribution losses without damaging the environment, to attain a high growth
rate during the 12th Five Year Plan. To cope with the demand deficit, the Indian
government has implemented various progressive measures to maximise the
countrys power generation capacity and improve distribution. Some examples of
such measures include rural electrification programmes and ultra mega power
projects. In particular, the inflow of foreign direct investments is expected to step
up capacity addition significantly. The government has allowed FDI of up to 100
per cent through the automatic route in all segments of the power sector except
for nuclear energy. Consequently, the sector has drawn about US$ 4.6 billion
investment over the past decade, of which US$ 1.6 billion came in FY12 alone.
Hence, we can comfortably say that the Indian power sector has strong future
growth prospects. Consequently, we need to assess the various policy initiatives
that have had a positive impact on the sector, and capitalise upon them further
to ensure a strong future growth. 1.5 MAJOR ISSUES The most important sector in
infrastructure is the power sector. There is about 90 GW of capacity under
various stages of construction and attending to the outstanding issues facing
these projects must be given a high priority. However, given the time lag
involved in implementing power projects, it is necessary to ensure that projects
which will be commissioned only in the Thirteenth Plan can also move ahead
satisfactorily. Almost half the capacity in the Twelfth Plan is projected to come
from the private sector and the position is likely to be the same in the Thirteenth
Plan. Private sector investors in power generation have faced many problems in
recent times. They include (i) Inadequate supply of domestic coal and
unanticipated increase in prices of imported coal. (ii) Difficulties with clearances
for captive mines, as well as for generating stations. (iii) Land availability (iv)
Poor financial health of some state electricity distribution companies which are
the main customers and which suffer from insufficient tariff adjustment plus
inefficiencies in collection. (v) Inadequate availability of domestic natural gas.
(vi) Inadequate fuel supply agreements for coal. (vii) More recently, difficulties in
obtaining finance from both external and domestic sources. 1.6 INITIATIVES PPP
IN POWER To attract private sector participation, government has permitted the
private sector to set up coal, gas or liquid-based thermal, hydel, wind or solar
projects with foreign equity participation up to 100 per cent under the automatic
route. The government has also launched Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs)
with an initial capacity of 4,000 MW to attract 160200 billion of private
investment. Out of the total nine UMPPs, four UMPPs at Mundra (Gujarat), Sasan

(Madhya Pradesh), Krishnapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) and Tilaiya Dam (Jharkhand)


have already been awarded. The remaining five UMPPs,
9 | Page Project
Appraisal & Financial Modeling namely in Sundergarh District (Orissa), Cheyyur
(Tamil Nadu), Girye (Maharashtra), Tadri (Karnataka) and Akaltara (Chattisgarh)
are yet to be awarded. To create Transmission Super Highways, the government
has allowed private sector participation in the transmission sector. A PPP project
at Jhajjar in Haryana for transmission of electricity was awarded under the PPP
mode. Further, to enable private participation in distribution of electricity,
especially by way of PPP, a model framework is being developed by the Planning
Commission. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES It has already been announced that 50
per cent of the Twelfth Plan target and the coalbased capacity addition in the
Thirteenth Plan would be through super-critical units, which reduce the use of
coal per unit of electricity produced. Supercritical (SC) power plants, which
operate at steam conditions 560o C/250 bars, can achieve a heat rate of 2,235
kCal/kWh as against a heat rate of 2,450 kCal/kWh for sub-critical power plants.
The specific CO2 emission for super-critical plants is 0.83 kg/ kWh as against
0.93 kg/kWh for sub-critical plants. Super-critical technology is now mature and
is only marginally more expensive than sub-critical power plants. Determined
efforts are needed to achieve these results, and prioritisation of coal linkages will
be necessary to incentivise adoption of super-critical technology. ULTRA SUPER
CRITICAL An Ultra Super Critical (USC) coal-based power plant has an efficiency
of 46 per cent compared with 34 per cent for a sub critical plant and 40 per cent
for a Super Critical (SC) plant. Thus, with an USC or SC plant, the savings in coal
consumption and reduction in CO2 emission can be substantial. A 10,000 MW
power plant will generate 60 billion units of electricity per year at around 70 per
cent load factor. It has a specific heat of 1,870 kcal/kwh compared to 2,530
kcal/kwh for a sub-critical plant. Thus, every unit generated with USC will save
0.165 kg [(2,530-1,870)/4,000] coal of 4,000 kcal/kg; and 60 billion units will
save 9.9 million tonnes of coal per year. 1.7 OPPORTUNITIES 1. Long-term health
of power sector seriously undermined (losses Rs 70,000 crore per year).
However, aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses are slowly coming
down. State Governments must push distribution reform. 2. Hydropower
development seriously hindered by forest and environment clearance
procedures. Need to look at special dispensation for these States, especially
Arunachal Pradesh. 3. A time-bound plan to operationalize development and
evacuation of hydropower from NER required. Road connectivity is an issue for
expeditious project completion. 4. Given limited connectivity of NER with other
parts of the country (through Siliguri corridor), access through Bangladesh needs
to be explored. 5. Electricity tariffs not being revised to reflect rising costs.
Regulators are being held back from allowing justified tariff increases.

Appraisal & Financial Modeling CHAPTER 3: OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE 3.1 OBJECTIVE
OF THE PROJECT The objective of the Project Report is: 1. Finding out the factors
affecting a projects capital and operational expenditure which in turn have an
impact on the cash outlay and revenue flow of the project and their study. Thus,
performing Project Appraisal of a 660 MW Coal Based Supercritical Thermal
Power Project. 2. A financial model of a 660 MW Coal Based Super-critical
Thermal Power Project so as to study the effect of above factors on tariff and
revenue flows. 3. To find out probable values of IRR, DSCR among other ratios
using the financial model to study the feasibility and attractiveness of a 660 MW
Coal Based Supercritical Thermal Project. 3.2 SCOPE Scope of project covers
installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of 660 MW coal fired
Thermal Power Plant and associated systems. Indian power sector wants to ramp

up the installed capacity to meet the growing demand. Large Power Projects
enjoy economics of scale and help in lowering the tariff of supply. This project
helps to find out the factors that will affect the project cost and thus have an
impact on total investment and operational expenses of the project. The
assessment and analysis of these factors will help in determining the project
cost, the associated risks and ultimately the tariff for supply from the project and
thus the revenue and cash flows. Such information is vital in making financial
decisions and project appraisal. The study may also help in understanding of
ways to mitigate the risks.

LITERATURE REVIEW The literature survey was carried out by reviewing various
journals on project appraisal and financial model of a power plant. Few journals
reviewed are: P.L.Kingston [1973] in IBM System Journals suggested, The use of
computers in financial planning has become an area of increasing interest to
financial management and data processing users. Computing systems facilitate
the use of financial models in that they allow for the storage and retrieval of a
representation of a financial plan and also for the evaluation of the
consequences of what if conditions. Thus a financial model is a tool that can
assist in the entire business planning process whether it be forecasting, cash
management, or projection of profits. This paper presents introductory concepts
that provide a basis for systems design and implementation of financial models.
Described are the terminology, the basic components of financial models, and
two general approaches to the construction of these models. W Wetekamp
[2011] suggests how Net Present Value (NPV) can be used as a proper tool to
ensure effective project management. The author proves that investment
project's appraisal methods, such as e.g. NPV, can and should be used as an
ongoing monitor of project health. What is more, even in case of project
turbulences Net Present Value can be used as a key instrument for finding the
most appropriate solutions. Robert Lundmark et al [2012] analyzed how market
and policy uncertainties affect the general profitability of new investments in the
power sector, and investigate the associated investment timing and technology
choices. They developed an economic model for new investments in three
competing energy technologies in the Swedish electric power sector. The model
takes into account the policy impacts of the EU ETS and the Swedish green
certificate scheme. By simulating and modeling policy effects through stochastic
prices the results suggest that bio-fuelled power is the most profitable
technology choice in the presence of existing policy instruments and under our
assumptions. The likelihood of choosing gas power increases over time at the
expense of wind power due to the relative capital requirement per unit of output
for these technologies. Overall the results indicate that the economic incentives
to postpone investments into the future are significant. Reports of similar
projects for thermal power plants were also reviewed. The reports of previous
batches on similar topic and the referenced data were helpful in determining
data for this project. The literature available within the company helped a lot in
understanding Project Finance and factors of project cost which are summarized
as:

Project financing is an innovative and timely financing technique that has been

used on many high profile corporate projects, including infrastructural and


power. Employing a carefully engineered financing mix, it has long been used to
fund large scale natural resource projects, from pipelines and refineries to
electric-generating facilities and hydroelectric projects. Increasingly, project
financing is emerging as the preferred alternative to conventional methods of
financing infrastructure and other large-scale projects worldwide. Project
financing discipline includes understanding the rationale for project financing,
how to prepare the financial plan, assess the risks, design the financing mix, and
raise the funds. In addition, one must understand the cogent analyses of why
some project financing plans have succeeded while others have failed. A
knowledge base is required regarding the design of contractual arrangements to
support project financing; issues for the host government legislative provisions,
public/private infrastructure partnerships, public/private financing structures;
credit requirements of lenders, and how to determine the project's borrowing
capacity; how to analyze cash flow projections and use them to measure
expected rates of return; tax and accounting considerations; and analytical
techniques to validate the project's feasibility. Project finance is different from
traditional forms of finance because the credit risk associated with the borrower
is not as important as in an ordinary loan transaction rather the identification,
analysis, allocation and management of every risk associated with the project is
given more importance. Project finance is the financing of long term
infrastructure and industrial projects based upon a complex financial structure
where project debt and equity are used to finance the project. Usually, a project
financing scheme involves a number of equity investors, known as sponsors. As
well as a syndicate of banks which provide loans to the operations. The loans are
most commonly non-recourse loans, which are secured by the project itself and
paid entirely from its cash flow, rather than from the general assets or
creditworthiness of the project sponsors. The financing is typically secured by all
of the project assets, including the revenue-producing contracts. Project lenders
are given a lien on all of these assets, and are able to assume control of a project
if the project company has difficulties complying with the loan terms. Generally,
a special purpose entity is created for each project, thereby shielding other
assets owned by a project sponsor from the detrimental effects of a project
failure. As a special purpose entity, the project company has no assets other
than the project. Capital contribution commitments by the owners of the project
company are sometimes necessary to ensure that the project is financially
sound. Project finance is often more complicated than alternative financing
methods. It is most commonly used in the mining, transportation,
telecommunication and public utility industries.
19 | Page Project Appraisal &
Financial Modeling Figure 5: Project Finance Structure Source: PFC Library Risk
identification and allocation is a key component of project finance. A project may
be subject to a number of technical, environmental, economic and political risks,
particularly in developing countries and emerging markets. Financial institutions
and project sponsors may conclude that the risks inherent in project
development and operation are unacceptable (unfinanced able). To cope with
these risks, project sponsors in these industries (such as power plants or railway
lines) are generally completed by a number of specialist companies operating in

a contractual network with each other that allocates risk in a way that allows
financing to take place. The various patterns of implementation are sometimes
referred to as "project delivery methods." The financing of these projects must
also be distributed among multiple parties, so as to distribute the risk associated
with the project while simultaneously ensuring profits for each party involved.
4.3 PROJECT APPRAISAL It is an assessment of a project in terms of its economic,
social and financial viability. A lending financial institution makes an independent
and objective assessment of various aspects of an investment proposition. It is
defined as taking a second look critically and carefully at a project by a person
who is in no way involved or connected with its preparation. He is able to take
independent, dispassionate and objective view of the project in totality, along
with its various components. There are some steps for Project appraisal.
Management Appraisal: Management appraisal is related to the technical and
managerial competence, integrity, knowledge of the project, managerial
competence of the promoters etc. The promoters should have the knowledge
and ability to plan, implement and operate the entire project effectively. The past
record of the promoters is to be appraised to clarify their ability in handling the
projects. Construction Contracts O&M Support Licenses Certification Zoning Local

Technical Feasibility: Technical feasibility analysis is the systematic gathering
and analysis of the data pertaining to the technical inputs required and
formation of conclusion there from. The availability of the raw materials, power,
sanitary and sewerage services, transportation facility, skilled man power,
engineering facilities, maintenance, local people etc are coming under technical
analysis. This feasibility analysis is very important since its significance lies in
planning the exercises, documentation process, and risk minimization process
and to get approval. Financial feasibility: One of the very important factors that
a project team should meticulously prepare is the financial viability of the entire
project. This involves the preparation of cost estimates, means of financing,
financial institutions, financial projections, break-even point, ratio analysis etc.
The cost of project includes the land and sight development, building, plant and
machinery, technical know-how fees, preoperative expenses, contingency
expenses etc. The means of finance includes the share capital, term loan, special
capital assistance, investment subsidy, margin money loan etc. The financial
projections include the profitability estimates, cash flow and projected balance
sheet. The ratio analysis will be made on debt equity ratio and current ratio.
Commercial Appraisal: In the commercial appraisal many factors are coming.
The scope of the project in market or the beneficiaries, customer friendly
process and preferences, future demand of the supply, effectiveness of the
selling arrangement, latest information availability an all areas, government
control measures, etc. The appraisal involves the assessment of the current
market scenario, which enables the project to get adequate demand. Estimation,
distribution and advertisement scenario also to be here considered into.
Economic Appraisal: How far the project contributes to the development of the

sector; industrial development, social development, maximizing the growth of


employment, etc. are kept in view while evaluating the economic feasibility of
the project. Environmental Analysis: Environmental appraisal concerns with the
impact of environment on the project. The factors include the water, air, land,
sound, geographical location etc. 4.4 CALCULATION OF TARIFF BASED ON CERC
REGULATIONS The tariff for supply of electricity from a thermal generating
station shall comprise two parts, namely, capacity charge (for recovery of annual
fixed cost consisting of the components) and energy charge (for recovery of
primary fuel cost and limestone cost where applicable). Annual Fixed Cost: The
annual fixed cost (AFC) of a generating station or a transmission system shall
consist of the following components Return on equity: 15.5% tax free return on
total equity. Only 30% of the project cost can be treated as equity.

Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling Interest on loan capital: Year to year loan
interest is calculated on full debt amount by weightage average rate of interest.
Depreciation: Depreciation up to 90% of the capital cost of asset is allowed.
Depreciation shall be calculated annually based on Straight Line Method and rate
defined in CERC guidelines. Interest on working capital: Working capital shall
include Cost of coal or lignite and limestone, if applicable, for 1 months for pithead generating stations and two months for non-pit-head generating stations.
Cost of secondary fuel oil for two months. Operation and maintenance
expenses for one month. Maintenance spares @ 20% of operation and
maintenance expenses. Receivables equivalent to two months of capacity
charges and energy charges for sale of electricity. Energy Cost: It is also
calculated on norms of CERC, the yearly consumption of primary fuel and
secondary fuel is taken for the calculation. DPR (Detailed Project Report) of
various projects of similar kinds helped in understanding the project technically.
Reports and notifications available on various websites listed in bibliography also
helped in adding value to the project. The data mainly obtained by interviews
with experts and experience of plant operations and form the basis of
assumptions taken for modelling. The data thus analysed was processed in
model for finding out the required ratios and check the project feasibility. 4.5

Modeling It is a two-stage process i.e. preliminary evaluation and detailed
evaluation in which all the promoters are evaluated for their ability to contribute
equity, carry the project to completion and operate the project as per the
contracts. PRELIMINARY APPRAISAL In this, the scrutiny is based on the analysis
of quantitative parameters, so as to access the financial strength of the
promoters, track record of the project implementation and the credit worthiness.
The scoring of all the factors is on a six- point scale, with 6 being the best and 1
being the worst. It involves analysis under two categories for Preliminary
Evaluation: Business analysis Financial flexibility I. BUSINESS ANALYSIS
Business analysis evaluates the performance of the present business of the
promoters. The analysis involves evaluation of the market position and financial
position of the company along with a view on management expertise and
integrity of the promoters. The parameters and factors used in business analysis
have been enumerated below: a) Market Position Here relative market share of
the company is determined. It is calculated as the ratio of the turnover of the
promoting company divided by the turnover of the market leader in the business.
In case of diversified companies the same process is repeated for each division.
b) Financial Risk It evaluates the past financial performance of the promoting
companies. Performance of at least the last three years is evaluated. Financial
risk parameter is represented by 5 ratios, which cover various aspects of
companys financial performance: Table 7: Preliminary appraisal Ratios Meaning

Potential: A Promoting company can contribute equity to the project by raising
debt on its books or raising equity or through cash surpluses in the books.
Bridge Financing Ability: This parameter basically judges the ability of company
to fund short term cash flow imbalances in the project. This attribute is useful to
prevent delay in project implementation due to small disbursals from the
institutions.
26 | Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling Track Record of
Fund Raised: This technique is basically used to judge the promoters ability to
achieve financial closure and tie up funds for the project. This factor is scored by
comparing the aggregate fund raised in the last ten years as a proportion of the
project cost with the benchmark, to arrive at a score. Aggregate Project Cost:
This factor evaluates the ability of the promoters to manage new project.
Scoring is done by comparing the aggregate cost of the project implemented by
the promoting group in the last years as a proportion of the cost of the present
projects with the benchmark, to arrive at a score. DETAILED APPRAISAL It

FOR PROJECT APPRAISAL In every project finance deal, where everyones
financial security rests on the future performance of a new undertaking, a
thorough analysis of the projects finances under a arrange of assumptions is
prerequisite for arranging debt and equity funding, financial model play a crucial
role in decision-making. 5.3.1. STEPS TAKEN FOR DESIGNING A MODEL The
essential steps to be taken for designing a financial model for any infrastructure
project financing through private participation are as follow: Determining the
scope of the project and the related EPC cost. Determining other expenditure
such as Development expense, Preliminary & Preoperative expenses, financial
costs, etc. Determine the total Cost of the project with interest during
construction. Assessment of tariff in order to determine revenue potential for
the project. Determine O&M cost through the concession period. Calculating
the fixed and variable cost relating to the project. Financial analysis to
determine the most efficient means of financing. 5.3.2. PURPOSE AND USES OF
FINANCIAL MODEL The financial model provide a basic analysis, usually based on
relatively raw, preliminary data and simplified financing assumptions, to
establish weather a given project is worth pursuing further. The required output
may be: Basic Project IRR Debt service Coverage Ratios and other debt ratios.
Establishing a financial structure that is sustainable by the project. An
indication of tariff levels required for achieving appropriate returns. Preparation
of sensitivity analysis.

CHAPTER 6: CASE STUDY 6.1 PROJECT PURPOSE AND SCOPE PURPOSE To bridge
the nations energy deficit, both average and peak load, by capacity addition of
660 MW by setting-up Coal fired Thermal Power Project based on super critical
technology at Tamil Nadu, India. SCOPE Scope of this project covers installation,
commissioning, operation and maintenance of 660 MW with Super critical &
Pulverised Coal fired boiler and associated systems. The Scope shall broadly
cover: 660 MW power plant and associated systems. Construction and
commissioning of the Balance of Plants (BoP) required for efficient reliable and
safe operation of the plant. Installation of BTG, their auxiliaries and
commissioning. Construction of water intake system for the project site.
Transportation Arrangement for Coal to the Project site. Power evacuation
system including transmission lines. Construction of facilitation infrastructure
such as administration building. 6.2 PROJECT DETAILS 6.2.1 LOCATION The
location of the proposed plant is in Tamil Nadu. The project site is located at a
distance of about 14 kms from the National High way and 15 kms from
Trichendur town. The site elevation is +12 m above mean sea level. The site
terrain is generally plain requiring minimum efforts to grade them suitable for
construction of the project. The site was selected considering the followings: SNo

the project site there is no reserve forest within 15 Km radius. 6.2.2 LAND The
project is being implemented in Tamil Nadu. The company has already acquired
600 acres of land and site development works will commence shortly. The land is
currently not in use and there are no inhabitants requiring rehabilitation or
resettlement. Specifications Land area(Acres) Plant area 260 Ash disposal 130

within 15 Km radius. The Company has paid Rs. 50 Crore towards allotment of
land and development works. The Company proposes to use the allotted land for
setting up Main Power Plant, colony and Ash Dyke requiring about 400 acres. The
remaining allotted land, about 100 acres, would be used for Green Belt
development. The balance land of about 100 acres would be acquired by the
Company in due course. The site development for the Proposed Project site,
covering levelling, boundary wall, internal and approach roads and other
miscellaneous requirements, is estimated to cost about Rs. 20 Crore. 6.2.3

an agreement of minimum SG portable water supply of 4000m3 /day of SG
portable water by SG. A raw water reservoir of 25200m3 capacity to hold 7 days
requirement for plant requirement of water will be constructed at the plant site.
Air cooled condenser for turbine is proposed. Water drawl approval has been
obtained by the company. The basic features of the sweet water system and
auxiliary cooling water for the proposed station will be proposed to buy from
prospective water suppliers. Air cooled condenser is proposed for condensing
steam. At the Plant, a water reservoir will be installed to meet 7 days
requirement of the plant. The overall cost of water arrangement as estimated by
the Company is about Rs. 90 Crore and has been considered in the Project cost.
6.2.4 SUPER CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY The Proposed Project is based on Super
Critical Boiler Technology instead of more prevalent Sub-Critical Boiler
Technology in India. The basic difference between the two technologies is the
steam pressure at which the boiler is operated. In case of Sub Critical Technology
the operating pressure in boiler is less than 19 MPa as against 24 MPa in typical

subcritical power plant. The supercritical power plant can achieve considerably
higher cycle efficiencies with resulting savings in fuel costs and reductions in
CO2 and other emissions. Plant costs are comparable for both the technologies.
However, overall economics for super critical technology are more favorable
because of the increase in cycle efficiency. Economic performance is also
influenced by other factors, including plant availability, flexibility of operation
and auxiliary power consumption. The once-through boiler design used in super
critical technology based plants is inherently more flexible than drum designs
used in subcritical technology based plant, due to fewer thick section
components allowing increased load change rates. Typical average availability of
super
32 | Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling critical technology
based power plants is about 85%. However, with appropriate design and
materials, a plant availability of >90% is achievable. Efficiencies of supercritical
power generation are also less affected by part load operation, with efficiency
reductions less than half those experienced in subcritical plant. The major
environmental benefit of supercritical power generation is from reduced coal
consumption per unit of electricity generated, leading to lower CO2 and other
emissions. CO2 emissions for supercritical plant would be 17% lower than for a
typical subcritical plant. Similarly, all other emissions e.g. NOx and SOx, would
also be reduced pro-rata with the reduction in coal consumption. However, for
optimum environmental performance, supercritical power generation technology
can benefit from advanced emissions-control technologies to minimize harmful
emissions. These include flue gas desulphurization (FGD), low-NOx combustion,
selective catalytic reduction (SCR), selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR), air
staging and reburn technologies. The lower CO2 emissions from super critical
plants are quantifiable and the project can be registered as a CDM project for
accruing CERs which can be traded with international markets. This can
potentially work as an additional revenue stream for the project. 6.2.5
TECHNOLOGY Thermodynamic cycle Thermodynamic reheat cycle. The
thermodynamic reheat cycle consists of steam generator, steam turbine
generator with condenser, the Condensate extraction and boiler feed pumps
along with H.P & L.P feed water heaters & deaerator. Technical and performance
parameters This project is based on supercritical technology. The critical pressure
point of water and steam is 22.1 MPa, below this pressure it is called sub-critical
pressure and above this pressure it is called as supercritical pressure. In the
supercritical region, co-existence of water and steam is not present, therefore in
the absence of steam/water mixture, the recalculating boiler technology adopted
for subcritical pressure could not be used. This was the key to the advancement
of cycle efficiency through the adoption of economic and reliable once-through
supercritical boilers. The drive for enhancing the efficiency of generating plants
in and environmentally friendly manner has been realized mainly through
advancing the steam conditions, i.e. increasing pressure and temperature. This
led to the development of some new power generation technologies like
integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) and pressurized fluidized bed
boilers (PFB). Boiler Feed Pump Three nos., horizontal, multistage, centrifugal
type boiler feed pumps will be provided. Two nos. pumps will be turbine driven
with steam extracted from turbine & one no pump will be motor driven as

standby. Each boiler feed pump will have one matching capacity single stage
booster pump. The booster pump will take suction from feed water storage tank
and discharge into the suction of corresponding main boiler feed pump
33 |
Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling which in turn, will supply feed water
to boiler through the high pressure heaters and feed control station. Condensate
extraction pumps The condensate extraction pumps will be vertical, multi stage
enclosed canister type with flanged connection driven by electric motor. Two nos.
condensate extraction pumps are used in this system. Supercritical Boilers
Different boiler technology is used which is the critical requirement in the
adoption of supercritical pressure and temperature. With supercritical pressure
boiler need to increase the wall thickness of the pressure components and also
use advanced materials for its effective working. Super critical steam turbine
Steam turbine is of 3000rpm and is designed for main steam parameters of
247kg/cm2 & 540C before emergency stop. High pressure steam turbines must
be designed to withstand the higher pressure and temperature. Typical
feedwater temperatures are around 275C to 290C compared to around 235C
to 250C for sub-critical plants. With supercritical pressures, because of the
greater steam pressure range in the turbine from inlet through to the condenser,
there is greater scope for including an extra stage or stages of feedwater
heating. This will further increase the cycle efficiency. 6.2.6 PRIMARY FUEL The
primary fuel for the Proposed Project would be domestic coal. The Company
proposes to use coal available from CIL mines. Coal India Limited has made a LoA
with the company for use of coal in the Proposed Project. The Company has
approved the agreement. The average calorific value of the coal is expected to
be about 3400 kcal/kg. Considering this Gross Calorific Value and PLF of 85% the
coal requirement of the Project works out to be about 3771700 TPA. The
Company has estimated the capital investment of Rs. 900 per tonne at an
escalation of 5% p.a and the same has been incorporated in the overall Project
Cost. 6.2.7 SECONDARY FUEL HFO, which is the secondary fuel for pulverized
coal, will be used for flame stabilisation at low loads and for supporting purposes.
Heavy fuel oil will be supplied from oil depot by means of truck. Two HFO storage
tanks each of capacity 1000m with necessary heating arrangement within the
tank will be provided. The estimated maximum annual requirement of HFO is
4914 KL. Capital investment of Rs 50 per kg at an escalation of 4% p.a has been
estimated. LDO system will be designed for 7.5 % of BMCR, which will be
considered sufficient to introduce heavier grade fuel. The light diesel oil will have
provision for supply to the steam generator for startup purpose. The estimated
maximum annual requirement of LDO is 1000 KL.
34 | Page Project Appraisal
& Financial Modeling 6.2.8 TRANSPORTATION Coal will be transported from the
Indian Coal fields to the Paradeep Port by Rail and from the port to the
Manappadu Port located near to the project site by ship. Coal unloaded from ship
will be stored in a separate coal yard to be set up by prospective Coal sellers at
Manappadu port and coal will be supplied at the plant boundary by conveyors.
Calorific value of Indian F grade coal will be in the range of 3400 kcal/kg. Rail
route already exists upto Tiruchendur. About 12 km of rail route from Tiruchendur
to project site is under approval. For transportation of coal, the Company would
enter into Coal Transportation Arrangement (CTA) with the Indian Railways. Due

to the availability of port facilities for transportation of coal from the mines, it is
convenient and economical to unload and transport the coal to the plant. Coal
will be also be transported from the port to the Manappadu Port located near to
the project site by ship. Alternatively trucks will also be used for coal transfer
from port to plant. Company has made a logistic agreement with Aspinwall Co
Ltd for transportation of coal from port and railway station to the plant. 6.2.9 EPC

35 | Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling 6.2.10 OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE In order to ensure a high level of performance of the power
station, it is proposed to entrust the operation and maintenance of the power
station to an experienced O&M Contractor. In order to ensure that the design and
construction of the power station incorporates all necessary features required for
easy and efficient operation and maintenance of the proposed power plant, the
proposed O&M Contractor will also be consulted during the review of EPC
contract documents, plant design features, operational and maintenance
features of plant systems and equipment. O&M Contractors general manager
would have primary responsibility for the operation & maintenance of the power
station. O&M Contractors site organisation is expected to comprise four broad
functional areas viz. operations, maintenance, engineering and administration.
Operation of Power Plant, coal and ash handling systems, water systems
including water treatment system, switchyard and other auxiliary plant.
Operations manager would be overall in charge of operations, all other operation
personnel would work on three - shift basis. Shift personnel manpower planning

for key areas has been generally done on (3+1) concept to take into account
leave taken by shift personnel. Maintenance of all mechanical and electrical
plant, control systems, buildings, roads, drainage and sewage systems, etc.,
operation of the plant workshop, planning for scheduled maintenance works and
deciding requirement of spare parts. The O&M team of the power station would
be headed by a Senior Vice President, under whom separate groups viz.
Operation, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and C&I maintenance would operate. In
addition to these groups, operation and efficiency improvement group and
maintenance planning group would monitor the efficiency in operations and
maintenance management respectively and suggest continual improvements.
6.2.11 INFRASTRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS Construction Power The company has
received approval for drawl of construction power from nearby substation of
Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Company Ltd. (TNPDCL). Construction Water The
total water requirement for the project is 2000 m3 /day. This water will be
sourced from nearby desalination plant. The requirement of construction water
for potable and service purposes will be met by the nearby desalination plant
located within the allotted land for the Project. The Company has taken over the
desalination plant along with the auxiliary and paid about Rs. 50 Crore for the
same. 6.2.12 EVACUATION OF POWER The power generated from the plant will
be evacuated at 400 KV through PGCIL / TNEB grid lines. Three / Four 400 KV
transmission line circuits are proposed from
36 | Page Project Appraisal &
Financial Modeling 400KV switch yard to Udangudi STPP Substation for further
connectivity to southern grid. Companys generation project shall implement,
maintain and operate dedicated transmission system for immediate evacuation
of power from their generation projects. a) Companys Power generation
switchyard-tuticorin pooling station 400kV D/c quad/high capacity line. b) Two
nos of 400kV bays each at Companys switchyard & Tuticorin Pooling
POWERGRID station. The cost of the transmission line is estimated by the
Company is about Rs. 52 Crore. 6.2.13 ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS The project
site is located at a distance of about 14 kms from the National High way and 15
kms from Trichendur town. There is no cultivation in the project site and
rehabilitation of resident population from the project site does not arise. Around
the project site there is no reserve forest within 15 Km radius. Since all necessary
pollution control measures to maintain the emission levels of dust particles and
sulphur dioxide within the permissible limits would be taken and necessary
treatment of effluents would be carried out, there would be no adverse impact on
either air or water quality in and around the power station site on account of
installation of the proposed plant. Ash Handling System The fly ash generated in
thermal power stations has commercial value because of its usage in cement
and construction industries in various forms. Fly ash generated from the
proposed power plant would be commercially utilized in one or more of the
following industries, to the extent possible a. Manufacture of fly ash bricks b.
Manufacture of aerated wall blocks and panels c. Fly ash Aggregate d. Land
reclamation e. Ready Mixed Fly Ash Concrete f. Utilisation in Roads/Paving g. Use
in cement manufacturing using fly ash in combination h. Manufacture of fly ash
bricks i. Export of Fly ash to countries like Bangladesh and Middle East. Water
Handling System Hydrochloric acid and caustic soda would be used as reagents

in the proposed water treatment plant. The acid and alkali effluents generated
during the regeneration process of the ion exchangers would be drained into an
underground neutralising pit. The effluent would be neutralised by the addition of
either acid or alkali to achieve the required pH.
37 | Page Project Appraisal &
Financial Modeling Waste water from the Coal yard suppression system and
leaching water is collected in the settling tank. The clear water will be disposed
to the nallah through CEMS. The Sludge will be dried in a Drying Pond and then
Reused. Sewage water from power plant and canteen will be collected in the
Anaerobic treatment pond and from there it will be sent to the clarifier. The
treated water will be used for horticulture purpose. The oily waste water will be
treated in an Oily Water Separator. The clear water is disposed through CEMS
and the Oily Sludge is disposed offsite. Air Handling System The height of the
stack which disperses the pollutants have been fixed based on the above
guidelines of the Indian Emission Regulations. The electrostatic precipitators
which remove most of the fly ash from the flue gas, thereby limiting the quantity
of fly ash emitted to atmosphere. By selecting a suitable furnace and burner for
the steam Generator, NOx formation has been avoided and no additional
equipment for NOx control is required. Although there is no statutory stipulation
for regulation of NOx emission, the boiler will be designed for maximum of 750
mg/Nm3 with provision of low NO burners. Dust nuisance due to Coal handling
would be minimised by providing suitable dust suppression/extraction systems at
crusher house, junction towers etc. For the coal stockyard, dust suppression
system would be provided. Boiler bunkers would be provided with ventilation
system with bag filters to trap the dust in the bunkers. Noise Handling System As
per State Pollution Control Board, Ambient noise level for Industrial area will be
Sl. No Time dB (A) 1. Day Time 6 AM to 9 PM 75 2. Night Time 9 PM to 6 AM 70
The above noise level at plant boundary during normal operation is ensured by
proper selection of the system. Controlled noise level from originating equipment
and green belts around the plant area. Project clearances received from statutory
authorities, Tamil Nadu State Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) and the concerned
agencies of the Government of Tamil Nadu and India. Statutory Clearances All
statutory clearances requires at Central/State level for the implementation of the
project are to be ensured. Depending on the cost of project, techno economic
clearances of CEA/SEB may be asked. Clearances/Agreements required for
implementation of project: 1. Land Acquisition 2. Water Availability 3. Stack

SUPPLY Inspite of 18,382 MW of installed capacity the state of Tamil Nadu is
struggling to fulfil its electricity demand. The electricity demand in the State had
increased but the capacity of the generating facilities had dropped due to
inefficiencies resulting in shortfall. Most of the districts in Tamil Nadu face power
cuts lasting over six hours. Between April 2012 and February 2013, the energy
and peak shortage of power in Tamil Nadu were 17.4 % and 12.3 % respectively
of the demand.
40 | Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling Electricity
deficit in the state has increased from 1% in 2005-06 to 11% in 2011- 12.
Between 2005-06 and 2011-12, electricity requirement grew at CAGR of 9%,
while availability only grew at around 7% leading to increasing electricity deficits.

Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling 6.3.5 FINANCIAL MODELLING AND
PROJECTIONS After doing through study of the information Memorandum and all
the contracts and the agreements signed by ABC Ltd. the Financial Analysis is
performed. Various parameters that need to be calculated as a part of the
financials of the project are: INTEREST DURING CONSTRUCTION In the Interest
during construction phase is the period were the power plant is in the process of
making and during this time it generates no revenues. The complete infusion of
term loan and the equity by the financers and promoters respectively is done in
this phase. This period starts from the date when the sub debt and then the
upfront equity starts flowing into the project (upto 51.5 % of the total equity) by
the promoters, when the Upfront Equity part finishes Upfront Debt starts flowing
till the time Debt Equity ratio becomes 75:25. Once, the ratio is achieved the
Matching Debt and Matching Equity flows simultaneously in the ratio of 75:25.
During the construction period the project has to pay the interest on the debt
fused till that month. The interest rates depends on the Pre COD Rates and sub
debt rates are specified by the leading Financial Institution (FI), which is also the
syndicator of the project. (IDC Sheet Attached in Annexure III) DEBT PAYMENT
When the project is commissioned then the borrower company has to pay the
interest on the Term Loan. The interest rate used is the weighted average of Post
COD Rates and sub debt rates are specified by the leading Financial Institution
(FI), which is also the syndicator of the project. The First Six months after the

project commissioning is the Moratorium Period that is during this period no


principle repayment will be done but the interest will be charged according to the
Post COD Rates. After the Moratorium period the project has to pay both the
principle repayment and interest on the term loan. (Sheet is attached in the
Annexure V) FUEL REQUIREMENT The main objective of this part is to calculate
the requirement of fuel for the project and thus calculate overall cost of fuel
required per annum for each of the next 25 years of operation of the plant from
the date of start of operations, which is assumed as the life of the Thermal Power
plant. Here we first calculate the primary fuel cost and secondary fuel cost on
yearly basis for 25 years depending upon the energy exported and GCV of the
fuel that will be charged to the project. While calculating the fuel cost we
consider the Fuel Charges Escalation (as mentioned in Power Purchase
Agreement).For this we calculate the amount of units that the project will be
producing every year for 25 years. This is done on the basis of installed capacity
(MW) from the point the very first unit becomes operational to the point 25 years
ahead of the last commissioning of last unit. Plant Load factor (PLF) is also taken
into consideration. This collectively gives the amount of fuel required to generate
the stipulated amount of power. After knowing the amount of fuel required and
the cost for 25 years we calculate the fuel cost on yearly basis. (Fuel requirement
sheet is attached in Annexure VI)
44 | Page Project Appraisal & Financial
Modeling TARIFF This is among the most important parameters of the project. In
this the main objective is to calculate the Variable Cost and Fixed Cost of
generation of one unit of electricity. This cost is the cost to the company. This
cost is compared with the Quoted Tariff, as specified in the PPA so as to figure it
that whether the company is selling the electricity on profit and loss. VARIABLE
TARIFF: Variable tariff only takes into account the primary fuel cost. This is
obtained by using formula: Variable Cost Electricity Units sold FIXED TARIFF: As
per CERC norms, the fixed cost takes the following parameters into
consideration: Secondary Fuel Cost Interest on Loan Capital Return on Equity
Depreciation O&M Expenses Interest on Working Capital Fixed tariff is
calculated as: Fixed Cost Electricity Units sold The sum of variable cost and the
fixed cost gives the total Tariff that should be charged to get the desire return on
Equity. (Tariff sheets attached in Annexure VIII) DEPRECIATION Depreciation is
calculated on the Machinery and Building strictly according to the CERC
Guidelines. Depreciation shall be calculated on straight line method and at rates
specified in the CERC guidelines for the assets of the generating station but the
company files the tax according to IT ACT section 80. (Tariff sheets attached in
Annexure IV) WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENT The working capital requirements
as specified in the CERC guidelines are as follows: Working Capital Limits Primary
Fuel Stock 2 Months Secondary Fuel Stock 2 Months
45 | Page Project
Appraisal & Financial Modeling O&M Expense 1 Month Maintenance Spares 20%
O&M Receivables from energy sales 2 Months (Detailed Working Capital
requirement sheets is attached in Annexure VII) CASH FLOW The Objective of this
part is to calculate the total cash flow Inflow and Outflows, and then to calculate
the excess/shortfall. (Detailed Cash flow sheets is attached in Annexure X)
PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT The main aim of this part is to calculate the Profit &
Loss of the project for the 25 years after the commissioning of first unit. In case

of PTC (long term) the levelised cost of electricity is Rs 2.475/kWh and that for
short term is Rs 3.5/kWh. The sale of electricity to PTC is done at the rate of Rs
2.475/kWh for aggregate cap of 70% and rest at variable cost of Rs 0.63/kWh.
(Detailed P&L is attached in Annexure IX) BALANCE SHEET This part accounts for
the assets and liabilities per year for the project for 25 years from COD. (Detailed
Balance sheet is attached in Annexure XI) RATIOS This part is used to calculate
the relevant ratios in order to determine the financial viability of the project. The
Minimum, average and maximum Debt Service Coverage Ratio is calculated
along with Internal Rate of Return and Net present Value are calculated. (Detailed
Ratios sheet is attached in Annexure XII) 6.3.6 SNAPSHOT OF FINANCIAL
PROJECTIONS The financial projections, based on the capital/project cost as
specified by the borrower, would be as below: Table 13: Snapshot of project
financial projections Particular Value Value Parameters DSCR Minimum 1.403

Companys financial position has been carried to ascertain the robustness of its
financials. Various scenarios for which the sensitivities was carried out and the
results are as follows: Table 14: Sensitivity analysis sheet Scenario Min DSCR Avg
DSCR Project IRR (%) Equity IRR (%) Base Case 1.403 2.106 18.54 21.41 Case 1:

Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling CHAPTER 7: RISK ANALYSIS AND
SWOT ANALYSIS 7.1 RISK ANALYSIS i) PRE CONSTRUCTION Sno Risk Mitigation /
Allocation 1 Grant of approvals / Clearances Obtain all statutory and non
statutory clearances including the MOEF clearance, Pollution Control Board NOC
and agree to comply with all the conditionality of these clearances. 2 Finalization
of Contracts The Company has already awarded the EPC Contract Project. The
service contract has also been awarded by the Company. The EPC contract has
provided for liquidated damages in case of delay in implementation and for
plants various performance parameters below stipulated level. 3 Procurement of
land Land has been already acquired which is sufficient for the main power block,
Ash Dyke and Raw Water Reservoir. ii) CONSTRUCTION Sno Risk
Mitigation/Allocation 1 Cost estimate Since the technology is based on super
critical parameters, it is difficult to fairly compare costs and to estimate the cost
precisely. 2 Cost increase and price Escalation Package contracts are expected to
have suitable safeguards and will be subject to LIE review. Also, any increment in
project cost would be met by the promoters without recourse to either the
project or its lenders. 3 Completion delay and Equipment Supply delay The
package contract is expected to have suitable provision for timely project
completion. Also, LDs have been stipulated for delay in equipment supply.
48
| Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling 4 Equity infusion The equity in
company will be infused by promoters Group as also by raising funds from

financial/strategic investors. iii) POST CONSTRUCTION Sno Risk


Mitigation/Allocation 1 Fuel supply risk The Company has made a long term fuel
agreement with CIL. Hence, fuel supply risk is perceived to be moderate. 2 Fuel
price risk The fuel supply agreement is yet to be signed. The fuel supply
agreement shall be subject to review by Lenders / Lenders agencies. 3
Performance shortfall The EPC Contract is expected to provide suitable defect
liabilities / warranties. LD clauses would also be stipulated for ensuring
performance. As a preventive measure, the design shall be subject to review by
both the Owners Engineer and LIE. 4 Technology risk EPC contract have been
awarded to a contractor having super critical technology and sufficient
experience. Company is also implementing other project on the same
technology, which again reduces the risk. 5 Force Majeure The risk will have to
be borne by the project Company, and may prove to be damaging for the project
and by extension the lenders. This may be mitigated to some extent by ensuring
adequate security for the lenders. 6 Off take risk The Company would sell 70% of
net power to State Discom through a long term PPA at a levelized tariff and rest
at Rs 3.5 per unit on merchant basis with escalation of 3% p.a. 7 Price risk The
cost of generation, is lower than the assumed average purchase price of power.
The risk may be perceived to be low. 8 Payment risk Payment risk is perceived to
be low as the major portion of power is being sold to State Discom under a long
term take or pay PPA.
49 | Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling Also,
LDs have been specified in the PPA for payment security. 9 Environmental
Hazards Obtained MOEF Clearance and Pollution Control Board NOC. 10 Lower
cost power producers With newer technology, the cost of energy generated
might be significantly lower than cost of energy. Older plants, with depreciated
assets would also be able to compete with company. 7.2 SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH The Project has long term fuel supply agreement with Coal India
Limited of Coal for use in the Project. The Project is located in severe power
shortage region. State itself has been facing severe power shortage and the
power deficit is likely to continue in short and medium term. The Company has
already acquired 600 Ha land which is adequate for the main power plant block.
The work on site may start immediately without any delay. Promoting Group has
demonstrated its infrastructure project development and execution skills in the
port sector and is on the verge of completion of the power project. The Project is
based on Super Critical Technology which is expected to provide efficiency gains
to the Company resulting in lower cost of generation. Use of Super Critical
Technology will reduce the pollution and the Project may be qualified to get CER
under CDM. This would act as additional revenue stream for the Project and
improve the financials of the Company. WEAKNESS Company shall be selling
30% of power on Merchant Basis and may get lower return than the levelised
cost of generation. Environment and Forest Clearances still to be obtained.
50 | Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling OPPORTUNITY The Electricity
Act 2003 and subsequent National Electricity Policy and Tariff Policy have
opened up several opportunities for the power sector. The Act allows the IPPs and
captive power producers open access to transmission system, thus allowing
them to bypass the SEBs and sell power directly to bulk consumers. These

provisions will give credence to the concept of merchant power. With the advent
of the era of competitive bidding for tariff for procurement of power, the new
capacities would not be subject to regulated tariff and regulated return of equity
and thus provide investment opportunities to Developers in the power sector
where returns would be market determined. There is huge power deficit in the
country and the demand supply situation in the country is expected to remain
favourable to power generators for the next 8/10 years at least. This presents
huge opportunities in the power sector for power generators. THREATS A part of
power generated will be sold on Merchant basis and may get lower return than
the levelised cost of generation. Fuel supply agreement with Coal India Limited
may result in delay 7.3 LIMITATIONS This analysis is limited to an examination of
annualized expenses and revenue and represents a prototypical year of
operations. This analysis should examine alternative pay as- you-go and debt
financed scenarios, be conducted in year-of-expenditure, and address the
underlying uncertainties associated with inflation, interest rates, project cost
(exclusive of inflation), foreign exchange rate, grant funding levels and rates of
payment, and other factors over which the project sponsor will have no direct
control. The assumptions and sources of information underlying the development
of the capital and operating cost estimates are an integral part of the financial
analyses documented in this report. Uncertainties associated with fluctuating
economic conditions and other factors may result in the actual results of the
financial program varying from the projections in the financial analyses, and the
variations could be material. Some of the major limitations and issues regarding
the project appraisal are as follow: The rate of escalation is taken as constant
over the life of the project (about 25 years); being the life of project large it is
not easy to predict the actual cost and inflationary effect on the price of fuels
and other inputs with the change in market conditions. Cash flows not really
known until the project is in service no history of cash flows.

52 | Page Project Appraisal & Financial Modeling CHAPTER 8: CONCLUSION,
RECOMMENDATIONS AND LEARNING 8.1 CONCLUSION Company has proposed to
set-up 660 MW Coal fired Thermal Power Project based on Super Critical
Technology. State Government has supported this Project and has issued letter of
support to provide all kind of administrative support required. The Company has
already acquired the land required for the Main plant from Industrial
Development Corporation and has made the requisite payments. The remaining
required land has been identified and the process of acquisition is underway. The
Proposed Project will be implemented by way of a turnkey Engineering,
Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract to be awarded on Competitive
Bidding Process. The Project requires about 3771700 TPA coal based on average
GCV of 3400 kcal/kg and PLF of 85%. The company made an FSA with CIL for the
Proposed Project. Appropriate arrangements are proposed to be done. The
Project will require about 150 cubic meter per hour make-up water during
operation. A raw water reservoir of 25200m3 capacity to hold 7 days

requirement for plant requirement of water will be constructed at the plant site.
Of the total 462 MW of power is proposed to be sold as PPA as per CERC tariff.
Balance 198 MW will be sold on Merchant basis at Rs 3.5 per unit with an
escalation of 3% p.a. Considering the cost of generation of Rs. 2.475 per unit,
company does not envisage any difficulties in selling the power through
merchant route. Power Evacuation will be through two double circuit 400 KV
transmission lines connecting the Project to the PGCIL substation and State
TRANSCO substation. The Electricity Act 2003 and subsequent National
Electricity Policy and Tariff Policy have opened up several opportunities for the
power sector. The Act allows the IPPs and captive power producers open access
to transmission system, thus allowing them to bypass the SEBs and sell power
directly to bulk consumers. Slowly open access in distribution system is also
being allowed. Assessment of the financial feasibility of the Proposed Project,
delivers satisfactory financial parameters as per base financial model. It has also
assessed the viability of the Project under the impact of various scenarios, which
could be at variance with the base case scenario assumed. Subject to the
weaknesses and threats enumerated in the SWOT analysis and the impact of the
various scenarios as envisaged under the sensitivity analysis, the Proposed
Project is viewed as economically viable. Thus, loan amount should be granted
by PFC equal to the request of the borrower.
53 | Page Project Appraisal &
Financial Modeling 8.2 RECOMMENDATIONS To minimize the risk, the extent of
financing to a single project should be proportionate; it will also affect the
exposure limit for borrower or utilities and chance to fund in more projects rather
in some. With the deficit of electricity in our country, there is need of many
projects and the exposure limit should be increased to effectively assist the new
projects. The exposure limit of some utility is going to reached, which resist PFC
to fund. With the increasing IPPs in power generation the exposure to them
should be more and the portfolio size for IPPs should be increased. It will
increase the revenue because of higher interest rate and some extra charges.
Currently PFC has less % funding in renewable energy, PFC should also
concentrate to increase its share in renewable energy. With the changes in
project parameters, the re-rating of project should be done at an appropriate
time and linkages of interest rate, exposure limit and security to the new project
rating should be done. There should be more bifurcation in the linkages to
integrated project rating. A detailed and comprehensive model study should be
made for accordingly. 8.3 LEARNING The experience and know-how gained from
this internship, has left me in more compliant form and stature in order to fare
better in areas of similar interest. Now I here make it sort with few but most
important points what I have learned: A practical exposure of financial world.
Learnt about investment scenario in power generation. Know about various
complicacies in power generation and their mitigation. Know about project
implication and investment. Learnt financing aspect of various investment
related parameters. Learnt the formulation and analysis of various financials
sheets through model. Learnt corporate culture.
