Wärtsilä power plants are the ideal solution for decentralized power production and an attractive alternative to the conventional model of centralized power plants.
Wärtsilä's solutions are available for large plants of 500+ MW capacity. Our gas based power plants are highly flexible and offer the following benefits:
Our power plants can be used for base-load applications or for peak-load needs or to complement wind energy. Our engines can handle liquid fuels such as HFO/LSHS, LFO, LBF or natural gas. Versatile dual-fuel engines can switch between liquid fuel and gas, on line. The CCHP solutions have a very low CO2 footprint, and merit status of ‘deemed renewable energy’.
We provide complete EPC solutions and lifecycle O&M support.
Wärtsilä, with its presence in India since the early 1980s, has delivered about 430 power plants with a total capacity of over 4 GW in the country. With Wärtsilä’s power system expertise and market-leading technologies, we help our customers and the power sector to accelerate their journey towards decarbonisation and net zero. Wärtsilä takes care of the operations and maintenance of the power plants on behalf of its customers in 24 locations across the country.
For India to take a rightful place in the group of developed nations, electrical energy availability to each section of the population in stable and adequate quantity is a must. Energy demand fluctuates during the course of 24 hours in a day, during passage of different seasons and also sees substantial unpredictability over the years based on climatic condition, political and social expressions and many other factors specific to that year. Introduction of renewable power feed such as wind & solar etc. though extremely desirable from environment and sustainability point of view, adds more unpredictability to the supply-demand situation in the grid.
We help our customers and the power sector to accelerate their decarbonisation journeys through our market-leading technologies and power system expertise. Our solutions include flexible engine power plants, energy storage and optimisation technology, and services for the whole lifecycle of our installations. Our engines are future-proof and can run on sustainable fuels.
Our track record comprises 79 GW of power plant capacity and over 130 energy storage systems in 180 countries around the world. Over 30% of our operating installed base is under service agreements.
The electricity landscape in India is evolving rapidly. The government is committed to increasing the share of non-fossil fuels in the electricity mix to 50 percent by 2030. Increasing the share of renewables in the electricity mix will make the power system more sustainable. However, the efficient integration of renewables in the grid can be rather cumbersome without suitable balancing resources.
Wärtsilä, in collaboration with the Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology (LUT), has carried out a modelling study to explore the feasibility of a net-zero power system across India by 2050. The findings of the study show that India can undertake a cost-optimal shift to 100% renewable energy (RES) and avoid locking in a highly polluting, more expensive and less effective transition.
Managing India's power system is becoming increasingly complex as it's resource mix evolves to include more weather dependent, decentralised, and variable renewable energy sources. In order to deal with such complexity, the system operator will need more flexibility to serve load while maintaining grid reliability.
Considering the changing system needs, Wartsila commissioned KPMG to carry out an Ancillary Services Market Study to understand the market structure in India. How can we provide appropriate price signals to reflect both operational and resource requirements while encouraging efficient investment and retirement decisions?
