The growth in the power transformer segment is attributed to the demand for high voltage (HV) and extra high voltage (EHV) transformers as well as growth in exports. Meanwhile, the growth in the distribution transformer […]
Communication technology is a crucial component of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). A robust communication technology, primarily for data transmission between head-end systems and smart meters, is vital for generating real-time alerts as well as for […]
In recent years, there has been growing traction in the deployment of digital transformers. These transformers are a key constituent of a digital substation and comprise components such as sensors and intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), […]
The role of metering in India has evolved significantly over the years. Besides helping utilities in energy accounting and revenue management, advanced metering plays a crucial role in the reduction of power losses, integration of […]
High transmission losses are the biggest cause of revenue losses for utilities. In the transmission and distribution (T&D) system, transformers play an instrumental role of scaling down high voltage energy and making it usable for […]
Indian coal is characterised by high ash content, which is in the range of 30-45 per cent. During power generation, coal-based power plants in the country generate a huge quantum of ash, which is one […]
Gencos are increasingly looking at technologies and solutions to reduce the environmental impact of coal-based power generation. From emission control equipment to systems for ash handling and disposal, gencos are looking for solutions that offer […]
Coal-based thermal power stations have been operating for decades in India but the concept of developing environment-friendly solutions for fly ash utilisation has picked up in recent years owing to stringent environment regulations. The effective […]
The transmission segment in India has seen considerable growth in the past few years owing to increasing power demand as well as generation capacity addition. The need to evacuate large-scale renewable energy is further driving […]
Over the years, transmission tower designs have evolved significantly in order to reduce the right-of-way (RoW) requirement, ensure speedy execution of projects and withstand diverse environmental conditions. Utilities are increasingly adopting monopoles and multicircuit transmission […]
With increasing urbanisation, space is getting constrained in most parts of the country, thereby necessitating the installation of conductors requiring less right of way (RoW) and having high current carrying capacity. A number of new […]
Transmission line engineers involved in planning new lines and upgrades use aerial surveillance techniques to determine routes, select right tower foundations, etc. Further, the routine monitoring and inspection of power transmission lines through aerial surveys […]
Transformer technologies have evolved considerably to meet the emerging requirements of utilities and adapt to the changing grid. New designs and features have been driven by considerations such as space optimisation, lowering costs, increasing asset […]
Efforts to reduce, recycle and reuse water at TPPs Water plays a significant role in power generation and is required for process cooling in condensers, ash disposal, removal of heat generated in plant auxiliaries and […]
Coal-based power plants are the largest producers of pollutants such as sulphur oxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. As per industry experts, the power sector in India contributed about 50 per cent of the […]
Water management is a key priority for power generation companies across the world, owing to stricter environmental regulations related to wastewater discharge and usage of treated sewage water for thermal power plants (TPPs), regional water […]
The discoms face a host of challenges in the areas of metering and billing, peak load management and revenue protection. In order to tackle these issues, it is essential for utilities to adopt the latest […]
