Emerging technologies bringing modernisation to thermal power plants
EPR Magazine (Electrical & Power Review)
|June 2025
Four primary forces are driving modernisation: digitalisation, automation, integration with renewable energy, and emission control innovations.
-
Once the backbone of global electricity generation, the thermal power sector is now at a pivotal juncture. In an era increasingly defined by sustainability, efficiency and digital intelligence, traditional thermal power plants are re-engineered with cutting-edge technologies to meet future energy demands. Modernisation in this context is not just a trend but a necessity.
Modernisation refers to the strategic enhancement of existing systems through advanced technologies, often in response to operational inefficiencies, environmental concerns and evolving energy regulations. Modernisation for thermal power plants is driven by four primary forces: digitalisation, automation, integration with renewable energy and emission control innovations.
