The insulation of transmission lines influences their cost and reliability. Therefore, there is a need to lower the chances of line failure and simultaneously reduce the cost of insulation. Design considerations for insulators have evolved […]
Insulators are a key component of overhead lines and are used to insulate live conductors from transmission and distribution towers. They are also required to carry high tension or compressive loads. For the successful utilisation […]
Insulators are widely used in overhead transmission lines to provide mechanical support and electrical protection, as well as in distribution lines and substations. In transmission and distribution (T&D) systems, overhead conductors are usually supported by […]
Insulators are deployed in power systems to prevent the unwanted flow of current to the earth from the supporting points, and are critical for conducting secure operations. The key application areas of these devices include […]
The vital role that electricity plays in the overall development of an area is an acknowledged fact. Yet a large number of Indian villages remain unelectrified due to the lack of grid connectivity. Some private […]
There is little doubt about the importance of electricity for economic and social development. With a large part of the global population still living without access to electricity, governments around the world are investing in […]
With more than 200 million people and over 14,000 villages without access to electricity, India has the largest share of the unelectrified population in the world. Since the majority of unelectrified households are located in […]
The amount of generation from renewable energy-based sources has increased considerably over the years. It is expected to increase further in the coming years in line with the sustainable development goals that aim to provide […]
It may appear to be implausible in the context of the power sector; however, microgrids are seemingly the most practical solution to overcome the challenges being faced by the sector globally. The electricity industry has […]
