The Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Limited (APGENCO) is geared up to make the new 800-Megawatt supercritical unit (Stage-II) of Sri Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Station (SDSTPS) at Krishnapatnam in Nellore district commercially operational by October 1 having conducted trial runs during which a maximum load of 268 Megawatts (MW) was achieved without any major problem.
There were turbine vibrations which the Boiler-Turbine-Generator (BTG) contractor (Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited) has rectified through realignment and recoupling of the rotors. The generation is being gradually scaled up towards the peak of 800 MW.
