Power generation at 2nd unit remains suspended
Power generation at the second unit of 250MW Barapukuria coal-fired power plant has become uncertain as it was shut down on April 22 following detection of a major technical glitch.
Sources said one of the induced draft fan (IDF) of the unit was creating frequent vibration as some devices of the plant broke down.
Besides, the authorities found more glitches at different points of the unit.
The IDF of the unit had been creating abnormal vibration inside the plant disturbing smooth coal supply to the burners.
So the power generation declined to 50 percent as the burners burning less coal, the sources added.
The first unit of the plant is now generating about 50 to 65MW power instead of 100 to 110MW due to problems at IDF.
This plant was also shutdown on March 15 last for problems inside the boiler.
