The annual conference marks a proud chapter in NTPC\u2019s journey, commemorating the<\/p>\n
commissioning of its first thermal power unit at Singrauli in 1982, a landmark that laid the<\/p>\n
foundation for decades of operational excellence in India\u2019s power sector.<\/p>\n
Over the years, IPS has evolved into a trusted platform where policymakers, industry<\/p>\n
professionals, plant operators, manufacturers, researchers, and academicians come together<\/p>\n
to exchange experiences, share practical insights, and collectively strategise the way forward<\/p>\n
for power generation in the country.<\/p>\n
The theme for IPS 2026, \u2018Optimising Thermal Generation with Quality & Reliability\u2019, highlights<\/p>\n
the continued importance of thermal power in ensuring energy security and grid stability,<\/p>\n
even as India steadily advances towards a cleaner and more diversified energy mix. Quality<\/p>\n
and reliability remain at the heart of dependable power supply, and the conference will focus<\/p>\n
on strengthening these pillars through shared learning and real-world practices.<\/p>\n
The three-day conference will feature technical sessions, where experts from across the sector<\/p>\n
will deliberate on operational challenges, evolving requirements, and emerging opportunities<\/p>\n
in power generation. Discussions will span a wide range of themes, including flexible plant<\/p>\n
operations, safety, asset management, water and fuel management, digital applications,<\/p>\n
efficiency improvement, and the role of new energy pathways such as nuclear, hydrogen,<\/p>\n
renewable energy, and storage solutions.<\/p>\n
The 2026 edition of IPS has received an overwhelming response, with over 466 authors<\/p>\n
submitting technical papers showcasing the latest advancements, best practices and<\/p>\n
innovations shaping the future of power generation. 107 selected technical papers by various<\/p>\n
