Modern business requirements call for upgraded assets that can ensure safety, reliable power supply and continued business operations. Transformer technology has advanced enough to accommodate the changing needs of utilities and improve power system resilience. […]
Transformers are critical equipment for any transmission and distribution (T&D) utility, and play a key role in ensuring consistent electricity flow across long distances. India’s transformation capacity has registered a steady increase over the years […]
To meet India’s goal of decarbonisation and achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030, in a recent letter, the Ministry of Power (MoP) issued a year-wise trajectory for replacing nearly 58 BUs of […]
Increasing demand for power supply requires the construction of new power plants and additional transmission lines. The demand for equipment such as transformers and reactors is expected to grow further driven by the twin phenomena […]
In order to deliver the growing power demand in the country, there is a need to establish a strong transmission and distribution network and adopt appropriate testing and measuring solutions to maintain a robust power […]
Combining metering components with bidirectional communication architecture enables the measurement of consumption, thus communicating the level of consumption in real time and allowing connection/disconnection via controlled load switches as per the utility’s decision. Additionally, smart […]
In a power transmission and distribution network, cables and conductors are the most essential components. They form the power sector’s backbone, and any breakdown in the transmission network has the ability to interrupt power evacuation […]
Testing and measurement (T&M) solutions are adopted to enhance the operational efficiency of power plants, lowering their emission levels and optimising their operations and maintenance. They also play a vital role in maintaining the life […]
The proper functioning of various power equipment across the generation, transmission and distribution segments is crucial for reliable electricity supply. It is, therefore, essential for utilities to carry out regular testing and measurement (T&M) activities […]
With the electrical grid growing in complexity, finding the right operations and maintenance (O&M) strategy for substation assets is becoming increasingly important. O&M of substations and switchgear assures reliable supply and failure reduction. Asset management […]
The new and emerging digital technologies as well as artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions are increasingly being incorporated throughout the electrical system, including substations, to enhance efficiency and bolster technical resilience. Digital substations provide […]
Modern business requirements call for upgraded assets that can ensure safety, reliable power supply and continued business operations. The substation and switchgear industry has witnessed technological advancements across all voltage levels. Industry players are constantly […]
Substations and switchgear play a vital role in providing reliable supply. As such, various government schemes have been formulated in India for network strengthening and modernisation in the transmission and distribution segment. The focus of […]
Switchgear and substations are crucial components of power systems. Electrical devices such as switches, fuses, circuit breakers and relays that help to monitor, control, protect and isolate the grid are collectively referred to as switchgear. […]
The renovation and modernisation (R&M) of power plants is a promising solution to upgrade old units in order to increase generation, reduce emissions and enhance flexibility. A centrally sponsored scheme was launched in 1984 for […]
Water is one of the key inputs for thermal power generation as it is required for multiple purposes including cooling tower, ash handling, coal dust suppression, removal of plant heat from plant auxiliaries and cycle […]
The R&M programme for thermal power plants (TPPs) has been in place for over 35 years now. The R&M of thermal power generating units is undertaken for operating units well equipped with modified and augmented […]
Cooling water is a significant source of water in thermal power plants (TPPs), accounting for around 80 per cent of the total water consumption. Other processes such as steam cycle, ash handling and flue gas […]
Renovation and modernisation (R&M) of existing hydroelectric plants (HEPs) is a crucial activity that contributes to improving a dam’s generating potential and operational efficiency, cutting operations and maintenance expenses, improving flood control, and prolonging a […]
With the growing focus on optimising water use at thermal power plants (TPPs), wastewater treatment and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) technologies are fast gaining traction. The water usage norms by the Ministry of Environment, Forest, […]
