You should look up the NTPC chairman's explanation for why average PLF runs below 75%. Apparently, the transmission & distribution network for evacuation is overburdened already. This results in plants running below their rated cap

Also, you're absolutely wrong about imported coal plants being rare. I don't know of any critical or super critical plants that could use 100% domestic coal without having to blatantly lie on their EIA study about ash disposal. It

This is incorrect. Local, domestic coal has significantly worse project economics, which is why local plants prefer the imported variety.

by digital_ins 9y ago
That's not true. As anyone in the power industry will tell you, Indian coal, tho voluminous in availability, has a relatively very low calorific content and relatively much higher Ash content. As a result, disposal of ash is far more e

I started off disagreeing with your statement but as I read further, I became a believer. In fact, "gotcha" and other trick questions are the worst, but understanding CS fundamentals shows that you were paying attention in class a

Nice! What's the thought process behind the recommendation? Are you using spelling similarities, or something like that?

I loved this article. Not just the term "AI", I've seen startups abuse the terms "machine learning" and "big data" to such an extent that it literally makes me cringe when I hear them. How many times have

isn't that the argument that a lot of people use about religion too?

it's quite possible that mosquitoes that don't require a male to procreate will take dominance. I think there are wasps like that...

by digital_ins 11y ago
We definitely should. I'm sure there are factors in the ecosystem that rely (but maybe not depend) on mosquito presence. That's why I love the idea of being able to genetically modify them to produce only male offspring. It provid
