For steel and metallurgy industries, it is very important to have a source of constant and reliable power. The amount of load variations that are associated with the processes of these industries is very high. This high load variation effects the stability of the grid, which in turn can effect the production from these industries.
In case of a power failure, most of the industries depend on backup DG power, to carry on with their processes. With escalating oil prices, running these DG sets is becoming unviable. Hence, the availability of captive power becomes very important from a production perspective.
