The Indian government’s recently launched Make in India and PLI schemes have positioned the country as a major manufacturing hub lately. Since the manufacturing units demand a stable and sufficient power supply, the industry is now seeking various ways to reduce energy costs, as these expenses directly influence product pricing in the market. Dependence on traditional energy sources is no longer feasible, and the manufacturers must seek ways to meet its energy needs through sustainable alternatives. The manufacturing sector must align with India’s global commitment to achieving a net-zero economy by 2070, which requires a shift to environmentally sustainable manufacturing practices.
Technological advancement in the manufacturing sector is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, innovations such as renewable energy sources, energy-efficient machinery, and smart grid systems allow manufacturers to adopt greener, more sustainable power solutions. This not only lowers their environmental impact but also ensures a stable and reliable energy supply, reducing vulner-ability to energy shortages and price fluctuations.
Secondly, advanced technologies help manufacturers optimize processes, minimize waste, and use resources more efficiently. Most importantly, energy-efficient technologies can result in significant long-term cost savings, making manufacturing more competitive on a global scale. Steam turbines, for example, offer a highly efficient means of meeting the sector’s energy demands.
Unlike some other power generation methods, steam turbines can operate continuously with minimal wear and tear, making them ideal for applications such as power plants. Steam turbines also require lower mass flow rates compared to gas turbines, meaning they can produce the same power with fewer input resources.
Additionally, steam turbines have a very high power-to-weight ratio when compared to reciprocating engines, making them more compact and space-efficient while delivering significant power outputs. Another significant advantage of steam turbines is their high thermal efficiency, particularly when compared to reciprocating engines.
This efficiency not only lowers operational costs but also helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Lastly, the rotary design of steam turbines makes them especially well-suited for driving electricity generators.
