AUXILIARY POWER CONSUMPTION IN THERMAL POWER STATIONS

11.1

The Auxiliary power consumption by the thermal stations during 2000-01 is 9.01% against
8.81% in 1999-00. This comprises the power consumption by all the unit auxiliaries as
well as the common station auxiliaries such as station lighting, air conditioning etc. The
regionwise auxiliary power consumption as percentage of gross generation from 19961997 onwards is shown below:

Agewise no definite trend emerges, as at different times, different capacity group units of
different makes were installed. During 2000-01, 4 years age group units had the minimum
consumption.
