Passage Based Questions

To encourage “Energy Conservation & Environment Protection” in the industrial sector PCRA has been continuously upgrading the energy conservation knowledge through energy audits and sharing the experience of energy efficiency improvement and achievement of industries. The case study detailed below is one of the modification carried out by Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd. Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd. is the corporate entity of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant,which has a capacity to produce 2.656 Mt of saleable steel of which 2.410 Mt is finished steel.Steel making is energy intensive in nature. There are 11nos. of 1700KW and 9 nos. of 1000KW main drive DC motors installed to run the mill stands. They are run at different speeds as required for the profile being rolled. During normal operation,the motors run at lesser field currents. However, when the mill is stopped and the drive is kept ready for rolling, the field current remain at 100%. It was observed that operating at 100% field currents during non rolling period is leading to energy wastage as the duration of rolling is 18Hrs. and non-rolling period is 6Hrs. per day.
