Forecasting the Usage of Flyash in Indian Thermal Power Plants

World’s second largest populous nation India already is hard-pressed for land availability in its hinterland.

Excess waste generation & resource misuse is further aggravating the problems of land paucity & disposal problems of generated wastes.

Coal-based Thermal Power Plants (TPP’s) are the major source of energy for the Indian mainland.

Fly-ash which is the major by-product of coal based TPP’s was traditionally classified as wastes until 1991 when an Ash Utilization division was set-up,

Its Utilization as a percentage of generation is a major indicator of how efficiently we are utilizing our wastes.

Forecasting it correctly depicts the understanding & trend necessitating planning & interventions.
