Transmission Infrastructure

Increased economic development and burgeoning population levels over the years have created power transmission challenges in urban centres. In such a scenario, transmission utilities need to take steps such as design modifications of substation equipment […]

Given the country’s complex power grid, ensuring system security and stability is a formidable task. The key emerging technologies in this regard are flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) and high voltage direct current (HVDC). […]

Substation automation involves the integration of operations-related activities like system protection, control and data acquisition into a unified control system. The objective of automating substations is to reduce overall costs and eliminate redundant equipment and […]

The configuration of transmission towers depends on several parameters such as voltage levels, the number and configuration of circuits, the number of conductors in each phase, geographical conditions at the site (whether the terrain is […]

A key trend in the transmission industry in recent years has been the adoption of new conductor technologies. The major drivers of this trend have been the scarcity of space, which leads to delays in […]

The rising power demand and the increasing share of renewable energy in the power mix are making it increasingly necessary to augment the transmission network in the country. The strengthening of the transmission grid has […]
