India’s power transmission segment has seen considerable growth in the past few years owing to the increasing power demand and capacity addition, especially in the renewables segment. Grid expansion is being driven by the need […]
Over the past few years, tower technologies have undergone significant changes. Owing to factors such as increasing urbanisation, limited space availability and the need to quickly scale up transmission infrastructure, developers are looking at towers […]
The cables and conductors market in India has grown exponentially over the years on the back of sizeable investments in the power sector. The market is poised to grow significantly in the future as well, […]
Growing improvements in the power sector have given way to the emergence of new transformer technologies. These new-generation transformers have improved core materials, better safety levels (such as fire resistance), space optimisation, lower costs, reduced […]
The electricity sector is set to witness accelerated technological transformation of a multidimensional character, which will facilitate rapid capital expansion, aid in operational optimisation and enhance the resilience of the grid as a whole. The […]
The country’s transmission infrastructure has grown rapidly in the past few years. As of May 2019, the total transmission line length (at 220 kV and above) stood at 414,858 ckt. km, the alternating current (AC) […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
India’s power transmission segment is growing at an unprecedented pace, mainly due to the thrust provided by the recent policy and regulatory developments, as well as government initiatives. The pace of expansion is expected to […]
Over the past few years, the techniques for the design, installation, surveying and testing of transmission towers have undergone significant changes. Owing to factors such as increasing urbanisation, limited space availability and the need to […]
Cables and conductors are the most essential components of a power transmission network. They are crucial not just in the development of a new network but also in the strengthening of the existing grid in […]
The increase in transmission over long distances, generation of grid-connected variable renewable energy, as well as the synchronisation of an all-India network pose additional voltage and stability problems. Hence, the need to transmit power efficiently […]
The transmission segment has grown significantly over the past few years driven by a conducive policy framework, active private sector participation, and concerted efforts by Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (Powergrid). As of May […]
Tower costs typically range from one-fourth to half of total transmission line costs. As such, design optimisation could result in reasonable savings. Consequently, new designs, solutions and construction techniques for transmission towers are garnering significant […]
In India, the distribution of natural energy resources is uneven and concentrated in a few pockets. Without interstate as well as inter-regional links, these resources cannot be used optimally. There is also a need for […]
