Adani Power Ltd. proposes to implement 9,000 MW Coal Based Thermal Power Project at Mundra, Dist. Kutch, Gujarat, India & Nagpur, Maharashtra, India.
Adani Power Ltd. wanted to update their security surveillance
both within and around the perimeter of a power generating plant. As the majority of locations were long distances from the main head office building, a traditional wired coaxial video system was cost prohibitive and impractical to implement. The decision was made to use real time digital video interfaced to specialist analogue cameras, including high-specification Pan Tilt Zoom cameras.
A well-organized user oriented CCTV Monitoring and Surveillance System which can be established on an Under Construction Sight, which helps the supervisors to control the manpower.
With heightened internal security issues facing many organizations, the demands for costeffective and reliable CCTV surveillance in and around large sites, such as power generating plants has never been higher. The need for remote surveillance and central control of large multi-site operations is increasingly important to ensure a rapid, co-ordinate response in the event of an incident. Viewing multiple ‘analogue’ cameras in a central security control room from around a sprawling complex or industrial plant requires vast amounts of cable and equipment. IP-Video has established itself as a reliable, high-quality cost-efficient alternative technology for CCTV surveillance, replacing multiple runs of video cable with a single Ethernet connection. But when IP-Video is combined with the latest wireless broadband technology it provides an unbeatable solution for remote site monitoring.
Responsibility to manage 4.6k manpower on the site by instructing the senior who are managed from Ahmedabad Head Office, scheduling of Adani Power Ltd. to start generating power as per the time specified, but they are getting late.
Being a daily use for monitoring thousands of labors, hundreds of machineries and lots of issues, the site in-charge will obviously need the Monitoring and Surveillance CCTV System implemented on the premises, which can help authorities reduce the mental pain and increase the workability.
SAMSUNG SPD-3750T Analogue Speed Dome Camera, ALNET SYSTEMS Encoder NSE4000 units were used to convert the analogue video signals from the cameras to a digital IP stream. The NSE4000 units were then connected to a NanoStation5 system that transmitted the IP data wirelessly back 
to the company’s IP network within the main head office building.These modules were individually installed on the camera utility poles and at a main head office building. All the wireless IP based CCTV Video Cameras got merged on one CCTV Recording Server for Network Video recorder i.e. ALNET SYSTEMS Netstation PC-Based Recorder, by which it can recorded individual cameras with motion recording for more than a month, which can transmit locally through the internal network with advanced authentication user rights. This provided a connection to the wireless IP network for the security team’s suite of computers and monitoring equipment. This enabled monitoring and control of CCTV cameras locally, as well as the cameras at a Ahmedabad head office over 500 kilometers away via a secure Intranet connection. And through the Internet they can view it from anywhere in the world on the client pc/laptop/ or even mobile phone. NanoStation5 Access Points were mounted on the roof of the main power plant building, allowing a clear line-of-sight between the Access Points and the individual modules around the site. Each wireless module was connected to a NEMA IP66 rated outdoor enclosure that contained an uninterruptible power supply backup for 24hours on battery backup, ensuring CCTV coverage even when the power is down, an Ethernet switch, a Alnet Systems NSE4000 unit, a heater and a lightning surge suppressor. This provided a selfcontained CCTV surveillance point that was immune to the environment and could be fully controlled by the remote security team without using any interconnecting cable!
Unmanned sites, such as power plant require 24 hours real time CCTV monitoring and surveillance to prevent damage or attack. The solutions provided by Alnet Systems CCTV enable 7 days a week, 24 hours a day standalone and remote operation with real time monitoring and recording which can be operated from Security Authorities, Ahmedabad Head office and other authorized users also from anywhere within in the Intranet or by Internet also by staying anywhere in the world. Its professional event handling and visual alarm verification quickly response to a wide range of events with accurate actions.
The transmitter/receiver units also provide a full duplex audio channel and a serial interface for control of the camera PTZ functions.
“The surveillance system has been extremely useful during our scheduled outage periods,” Will continues. “Every power supplier has a designated offline period for maintenance and during these periods we can have a large amount of third party contractors’ onsite. With the new surveillance technology at our fingertips we can ensure health and safety procedures are adhered to at all times and check on service progress, in respect to human and vehicular traffic around the site. We can even observe the works progress right down to individual engineer level.”
Adani Power Ltd a conglomerate with a formidable presence in multiple businesses across the globe, has entered the power sector to harbinger a ‘power full’ India, by generating 20,000 MW of power by 2020. Our comprehension of the criticality in meeting the power requirement and its crucial role in ensuring the energy security of India, spurs us to build India’s largest and one of the world’s top 5 single location thermal power plant in Mundra.
Along with thermal power generation, Adani power has made a paradigm shift by venturing into Solar power generation in Gujarat. It is Adani’s endeavour to empower one and all with clean, green power that is accessible and affordable for a faster and higher socio-economic development. We are achieving it with our out-of-the-box thinking, pioneering operational procedures, motivated team and a yen for trendsetting. Our enthusiasm and energy has earned us accomplishments that make us the FIRST, FASTEST AND LARGEST power company in many aspects.
Adani Power Limited has commissioned the first supercritical 660 MW unit in the country. Mundra is also the WORLD’S FIRST supercritical technology project to have received ‘CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM (CDM) Project’ certification from United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Adani power has the FASTEST turnaround time of projects in the industry.
Poised to be the LARGEST private power generating company in India.
To ascertain a potent presence across the value chain within the industry, Adani has also forayed into power transmission. The first power transmission project of 400KV Double Circuit Transmission System from the Mundra plant to Dehgam (430 kms) has been realised with two more in the implementation stage. We are currently implementing nearly 1000 km long high voltage DC double circuit line connecting Mundra power station to Northern India. This will be commissioned by March 2011. This is the first private sector HVDC transmission project in the country ensuring free flow of power between Western India and the Northern Hinterland.
The advantageous edge Adani has, is the national and international coal mining rights with its promoter Company Adani Enterprises Limited which ensures fuel security. Vertical integration within the Adani group shall provide synergies to the power business and catapult it to electrifying heights of success.
