Wbpdcl Real Time Generation Direct

Watch how fast WBPDCL units increase output from 6 AM to 8 AM (morning ramp). Sluggish ramping forces WBSLDC to import expensive power from the exchange. A healthy thermal unit should ramp at 3-5 MW per minute.

| Plant | Location | Installed Capacity (MW) | Unit Sizes (MW) | |-------|----------|------------------------|-----------------| | Kolaghat Thermal Power Station (KTPS) | Purba Medinipur | 1,260 | 6 x 210 | | Bakreshwar Thermal Power Station (BTPS) | Birbhum | 1,050 | 5 x 210 | | Sagardighi Thermal Power Station (STPS) | Murshidabad | 2,000 (Stage I+II) | 2x300, 2x500, 2x500 | | Santaldih Thermal Power Station (STPS) | Purulia | 1,000 (Phased) | 120, 240, 250, 250 | | Bandel Thermal Power Station (BTPS) | Hooghly | 630 | 4 x 210, 1x210 (retired) | wbpdcl real time generation

Installed capacity varies with retirements/upgrades – real-time data reflects actual available units. Watch how fast WBPDCL units increase output from

Sudden drops in real time generation across multiple WBPDCL units often point to fuel supply issues from ECL (Eastern Coalfields). For instance, in summer 2024, real time data showed two units at Kolaghat operating at 50% capacity due to low coal stock – a leading indicator of power cuts. Real-Time Dispatch

WBPDCL operates multiple thermal power plants: Sagardighi, Bakreshwar, Kolaghat, Bandel, and Santaldih. Real-time generation data (MW, MVar, frequency, auxiliary consumption) is essential for:

West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited (WBPDCL) operates thermal power plants across West Bengal, supplying electricity to the state grid and supporting regional demand. Real-time generation refers to monitoring, controlling, and reporting the instantaneous power output of WBPDCL’s generating units and overall plant fleet to ensure grid reliability, optimize operations, and meet market or regulatory requirements.
