Uttar Pradesh, one of the key states under UDAY, has been striving hard to improve the performance of the state’s power sector. The state has witnessed an improvement in the plant load factor, an increase […]
Sterlite Power Transmission Limited has emerged as a leading private transmission company within 10 years of its entering the transmission segment. The company, which won its first transmission project under competitive bidding in 2010, today […]
Transmission tower designs have evolved significantly over the years. New tower designs such as monopoles and narrow base towers address right-of-way (RoW) issues, minimise the visual impact, enable faster execution and ensure ease of installation. […]
In the past few years, the focus of various government programmes in the transmission and distribution segments has been on network strengthening, modernisation and ensuring quality power supply. Substations, which convert voltage from high to […]
Cables and conductors are among the most important components of a power transmission network. In the current scenario of increasing power demand, it is imperative not only to develop new networks but also to strengthen […]
Power networks generate two kinds of power – real and reactive. While real power accomplishes the useful work of running appliances, reactive power supports the voltages that must be controlled for system reliability. Several recent […]
As electrical grids become more complex with the integration of intermittent renewable energy, grid operators need solutions that are reliable, safe and enable quick decisions in case of an emergency. A digital substation offers precisely […]
Substations and switchgear, the key elements in power systems, are critical components of an asset portfolio. Beyond the financial value, they play an even greater role in the overall business performance. Well-planned electrical substation and […]
As per the existing policy framework, coal- and lignite-based power plants are required to ensure 100 per cent fly ash utilisation. In January 2016, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) had mandated […]
Copper has been used in electrical systems since the early nineteenth century, when the electromagnet and telegraph were invented. Today, copper conductors are at the heart of electrical systems that power myriad operations across industries. […]
Transformer technologies have evolved considerably to meet the emerging requirements of utilities and enhance power system reliability. Over the years, a number of technological improvements have been made to transformers, which perform the important function […]
Switchgear includes all the devices in power systems that provide protection and regulate power supply. Switchgear de-energises the equipment and clears faults in the system, thereby ensuring reliable power supply. Essentially, it protects the electrical […]
According to the power ministry’s estimates, 1,800 million tonnes (mt) of coal is used every year and 600 mt of fly ash will be generated by 2031-32. Of this, about 40 per cent of the […]
Asset management is one of the most complex elements of the utility business. For transmission enterprises, it is a core function and is strongly linked with both revenue and reliability of electricity supply. Decisions need […]
