The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) recently issued the Draft Manual on Transmission Planning Criteria. It had brought out the first Manual on Transmission Planning Criteria in 1985, which was revised in 1994 and then again […]
The Indian power transmission segment has grown significantly over the years, making the country’s electricity grid one of the largest synchronous grids in the world. As of January 2022, the total transmission line length (at […]
The power transmission network has been constantly expanding to maintain uninterrupted transmission of power, provide evacuation infrastructure for power generation plants, and address regional demand-supply mismatches. Several new technologies have been introduced and incorporated in […]
Amid rapid evolution in the power landscape, transmission companies need to optimise the performance of their existing assets for cost-effectively achieving numerous operational goals. Asset management is the backbone of utilities in the power sector […]
The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) is the largest ISO among 38 balancing authorities in the western interconnection, handling over two-thirds of the electric load in the west. In collaboration with the California Public Utilities […]
India’s transmission segment is undergoing a transformation. There has been a rapid expansion in grid length and grid capacity at a 5-6 per cent CAGR since 2014-15. In addition, there is a growing reliance on […]
With the decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitalisation of the energy sector, power transmission utilities are taking steps to transition and upgrade their power systems to cater to future grid requirements. These changes in the sector have […]
With the growing installation of internet of things (IoT)-based digital components across the grid, more parameters will be monitored in real time, making data acquisition immensely granular and specific. The exponential growth in requirement for […]
The power sector, particularly generation and transmission, witnessed key financings in the year 2021. The financing deals in conventional generation mainly focused on the resolution of stressed assets (Essar Power’s Mahan thermal power project and […]
The country plans to expand its renewable energy capacity to over 450 GW by 2030, from the current level of about 105 GW. The ambitious renewable energy target is already acting as a catalyst for […]
Taking its clean energy transition goals seriously, the US government is making efforts to provide federal funds for accelerating the growth of the clean electricity and power transmission sectors. To help realise its ambitious climate […]
In a significant development, the Ministry of Power (MoP) has introduced the much-awaited paradigm of general network access (GNA) in interstate transmission. GNA is not a new concept and has been under discussion over the […]
With the Indian electricity grid becoming increasingly complex, grid operation and transmission planning will evolve significantly over the next 25 years, believes S.K. Soonee, adviser, Power System Operation Corporation Limited (POSOCO). There will be a […]
Power System Operation Corporation Limited (POSOCO), which has been efficiently managing the electric grid, plans to continue focusing on grid security, reliability and resilience, especially in view of the growing integration of renewables, an ageing transmission network and […]
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 […]
