Energy Optimization Strategies Through Auditing: A Case Study Of Emission Reduction In Thermal Power Generation

Abstract

The study will be meant to criticize the present water consumption approach of the given plants and comprehend how the education level, income, and the form of awareness of employees and local communities influences water preservation activities. Primary data which is collected by use of surveys and questionnaires and secondary data which is obtained in the form of reports, previous research and government records are used in the study. The data had to be interpreted using statistical measures such as descriptive analysis and correlation tests.

The analysis is done on two large-scale thermal stations in the state of Maharashtra namely Bhusawal Thermal power station (BTPS) and Chandrapur super thermal power station (CSTPS). The two plants have great relevance when it comes to generating electricity but they have much more problems concerning the reserving of water because of the outdated methods used, over usage and ignorance.

This study brings to fore the critical implications of both technical measures and community involvement and socio-economic improvement of attaining sustained conservation of water in the thermal power plants. The results can assist policy formulators, plant managers and environmental planners in formulating more effective policies on water resource management in the energy sector.
