The government has entered a deal with Orion Group to install three private coal-based power plants to add 1088MW power to the national grid.

Although there is a government-run coal-based power plant producing 250MW power at Barapukuria, this is the first move to get private firms to produce power from coal.

On Jan 29, the government struck a deal with India for installing a coal-based power plant with a capacity to produce 1030MW at Rampal in Bagherhat near the Sundarbans.

One of the new power plants will be set up at Mawa in Munsiganj to produce 522MW. Two other plants will be established at Anwara in Chittagong and in Khulna each with a capacity of generating 282.67MW.

Orion Group Managing Director Salman Obaidul Karim and Power Development Board (PDB) Secretary Md Azizul Islam signed the agreement at the Bidyut Bhaban.

The power plant at Mawa will go into operation in 45 months while the plants at Khulna and Chittagong will be built in 36 months.

Obaidul Karim

The government will pay Tk 4.79 for per unit power produced by the Mawa plant and Tk 4.45 for power supplied from the other two plants.

Currently daily power production is 5,500MW against the demand of 7,000MW.

The Prime Minister's Adviser Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury, State Minister for Power Mohammad Enamul Hoque, Power Secretary Abul Kalam Azad, PDB Chairman ASM Alamgir Kabir and Orion Group Chairman Obaidul Karim were present at the ceremony.

"Many had feared whether it would be possible at all to establish power plant by importing coal. After overcoming all the challenges we are going to prove that through this agreement. I hope the plants will come into operation at the expected time," said advisor Chowdhury.

Chairman Karim said they will import coal from Australia and Indonesia and that reputed organisations have been employed to look into issues including building the plants and importing coal.

He was also hopeful about making the plants operational three months before schedule.

Power is being produced using five types of energy. About 80 percent of the daily power is being produced using gas, while furnace oil and diesel are used for producing 17 percent. Water and coal produces 3 percent.

After assuming power the government undertook a plan of raising daily power production by 15,000MW within 2016.

Obaidul Karim, owner of Orion Groups bangladesh have spoke about technology on the occassion of TECHNO EXPO.
Obaidul Karim’s Speech about technology relates to the technologies designed to duplicate and respond to the human voice. They have many uses. These include aid to the voice-disabled, the hearing-disabled, and the blind, along with communication with computers without a keyboard. They enhance game software and aid in marketing goods or services by telephone.
Speech synthesis is the artificial production of human speech. A computer system used for this purpose is called a speech synthesizer, and can be implemented in software or hardware. A text-to-speech (TTS) system converts normal language text into speech; other systems render symbolic linguistic representations like phonetic transcriptions into speech.

Obaidul Karim Owner Of Orion Group

Synthesized speech can be created by concatenating pieces of recorded speech that are stored in a database. Systems differ in the size of the stored speech units; a system that stores phones or diphones provides the largest output range, but may lack clarity. For specific usage domains, the storage of entire words or sentences allows for high-quality output. Alternatively, a synthesizer can incorporate a model of the vocal tract and other human voice characteristics to create a completely “synthetic” voice output.
The quality of a speech synthesizer is judged by its similarity to the human voice and by its ability to be understood. An intelligible text-to-speech program allows people with visual impairments or reading disabilities to listen to written works on a home computer. Many computer operating systems have included speech synthesizers since the early 1990s.
n Computer Science, speech recognition is the translation of spoken words into text. It is also known as “automatic speech recognition”, “ASR”, “computer speech recognition”, “speech to text”, or just “STT”.
Obaidul Karim Said recognition (SR) is technology that can translate spoken words into text. Some SR systems use “training” where an individual speaker reads sections of text into the SR system. These systems analyze the person’s specific voice and use it to fine tune the recognition of that person’s speech, resulting in more accurate transcription. Systems that do not use training are called “Speaker Independent” systems. Systems that use training are called “Speaker Dependent” systems.

Obaidul Karim Owner Of Orion Group

Speech recognition applications include voice user interfaces such as voice dialing (e.g., “Call home”), call routing (e.g., “I would like to make a collect call”), domotic appliance control, search (e.g., find a podcast where particular words were spoken), simple data entry (e.g., entering a credit card number), preparation of structured documents (e.g., a radiology report), speech-to-text processing (e.g., word processors or emails), and aircraft.
The term voice recognition refers to finding the identity of “who” is speaking, rather than what they are saying. Recognizing the speaker can simplify the task of translating speech in systems that have been trained on specific person’s voices or it can be used to authenticate or verify the identity of a speaker as part of a security process.

Orion Group Bangladesh’s first private firm to build coal power plant 

Obaidul Karim Owner Of Orion Group

The Power Development Board yesterday signed three sets of agreements with local Orion Power to set up three private coal-fired power plants in Khulna, Chittagong and Mawa totalling 1,200 megawatt capacity.
Salman Karim, director of Orion Power, told The Daily Star yesterday the company had signed Implementation Agreement and Power Purchase Agreement for the Khulna 300 MW, Chittagong 300 MW and Mawa 600 MW power projects.
“The Khulna and Chittagong projects will be commissioned within 36 months while the Mawa project within 45 months from signing of these agreements,” he added.
Salman also noted that Orion Power has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Electricity Generation Authority of Thailand International (Egati) as its investment partner.
Egati is the largest Thai power producer having the experience of generating 16,000 MW power.
As per the agreements, Orion Power has to build the plants on their own land and arrange its own coal supply.
The company has purchased 500-bigha land in Khulna and Mawa each and a 700-bigha plot of land in Chittagong for its projects.
It, however, proposed the government approve a merger between the two 300-MW projects–either in Chittagong or in Khulna–to make them viable.
The company has signed MoUs with two trading companies– Swiss Glencore and Japanese Mitsui– to ensure smooth supply of coal from Indonesia and Australia to their projects.
Once commissioned, Orion Power will sell electricity to the PDB at Tk 3.78 per kilowatt-hour in Khulna and Chittagong and Tk 4.30 per kilowatt-hour in Mawa.
