Senior Manager – Lead BTG Commissioning Steag THDC Khurja Ultra Super Critical Thermal Power Plant (NTPC-THDC JV) | 1320 MW As Senior Manager – Lead BTG Commissioning, I oversee the commissioning of the Boiler, Turbine, and Generator (BTG) systems at the 1320 MW Ultra Super Critical (USC) Thermal Power Plant in Khurja. This project, under the NTPC-THDC Joint Venture, aims to set new standards in thermal efficiency, emission control, and operational reliability. With advanced USC technology, we operate at higher temperatures (600°C+ main steam, 620°C+ reheat) and pressures (250+ bar), achieving superior plant performance while minimizing fuel consumption, contributing to India’s energy sustainability goals. Key Responsibilities and Focus Areas 1. BTG Commissioning & Plant Synchronization Leading the commissioning of BHEL’s ultra-supercritical boilers and turbine-generator units, ensuring systems meet design specifications. 2. Collaboration with OEMs, EPC Contractors, and Stakeholders Coordinating with BHEL, L&T, NTPC, and other OEMs during the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) phase. Leading multi-disciplinary teams (operations, maintenance, and electrical) to achieve commissioning goals. 3. Performance Monitoring & Optimization Operating with USC parameters: Main Steam Temperature: 600°C+ Reheat Steam Temperature: 620°C+ Main Steam Pressure: 250+ bar Feedwater Temperature: ~290°C Turbine Heat Rate: Optimized for maximum efficiency 4. Safety, Compliance, and Environmental Regulations. 5. Troubleshooting, Issue Resolution & Operational Readiness compliance. 6. Technical Reporting & Stakeholder Communication Preparing commissioning schedules, progress reports, and punch lists for transparent project tracking. Facilitating regular meetings with THDC, Steag, NTPC, BHEL, L&T, and other key stakeholders to align progress with targets. Providing updates to state and central authorities on commissioning status, compliance, and operational readiness
