The lack of right of way (RoW) is perhaps the most pressing, long-standing problem for transmission system developers. While developers have taken steps to overcome RoW challenges by deploying advanced design and technology options for […]
West Bengal’s sole state transmission company, West Bengal State Electricity Transmission Company Limited (WBSETCL) is one of the largest transcos in India. It is responsible for transmitting power throughout the state. In recent years, WBSETCL’s […]
India achieved a significant milestone in its renewable energy journey with the recent commissioning of 11 renewable energy management centres (REMCs). The REMCs allow centralised forecasting and monitoring of renewable energy generation which is crucial […]
Amidst the Covid-19 nationwide lockdown, the prime minister of India appealed to the citizens of India to switch off their lights and express solidarity by lighting earthen lamps or torches on April 5, 2020, at […]
Cables and conductors are vital components of transmission and distribution (T&D) networks. Over the past few years, the cables and conductors market has witnessed healthy growth backed by a rapid expansion of T&D lines to […]
The ceation of high voltage long distance corridors to deliver electricity to high-demand regions and the development of green energy corridors for integrating the increasing share of renewable energy into the grid has spurred demand […]
Cables and conductors are among the most important components of a power transmission network. In the current scenario of increasing power demand, it is imperative to keep these components in good condition through better operations […]
Cables and conductors form an integral part of an electrical network. The use of good quality cables that meet the specific needs and requirements of a particular electric network is essential to maintain a secure […]
Over the years, significant technological strides have been made on the transmission infrastructure front. Power transmission utilities are adopting newer technologies to address the issue of right-of-way (RoW) constraints, ensure cost-effective network expansion and reduce […]
India’s power sector is experiencing a paradigm shift, driven primarily by a strong demand growth, and the government’s target to achieve 40 per cent non-fossil fuel-based generation capacity as per its intended nationally determined contributions. […]
Power Grid Corporation of India Limited’s (Powergrid) ±800 kV Champa (Chhattisgarh)-Kurukshetra (Haryana) high voltage direct current (HVDC) project reached a new milestone recently, with the link now capable of transmitting 4,500 MW of electricity. This […]
Globally, India has one of the largest renewable energy deployment programmes with an ambitious target of 175 GW of installed capacity by 2022. Today, with renewable power increasingly becoming competitive, electricity storage is expected to […]
As T&D utilities expand and upgrade their grids, they are continuously looking for technologies and products that can help in reliable and economic delivery of electricity. A key technology in this context is high-voltage disconnectors, […]
The Indian electricity transmission segment has been constantly evolving in line with the increasing power demand and the changing energy mix due to the influx of renewables. Going forward, an investment of Rs 2.6 trillion […]
While renewable energy capacity is growing at a fast pace, transmission-related issues have been hampering further progress in recent times. There is a mismatch in the construction timelines between transmission capacity addition and renewable energy […]
Asset management involves a strategic and systematic approach to managing physical assets, with a focus on business and engineering processes for resource allocation and utilisation. This enables better decision-making based on quality information and well-defined […]
The power sector is witnessing a paradigm shift with the expansion of the distributed generation segment, the increasing share of renewables in the energy mix, the growth of electric vehicles, and the declining costs of […]
Power transmission utilities are increasingly adopting newer technologies for the expansion of the transmission network in order to manage right-of-way (RoW) constraints, ensure efficient power transmission and improve the performance of the existing network. In […]
In the process of delivering electricity from the point of generation to the end-consumer, transformers perform the essential task of managing the electricity voltage at various stages. While power transformers are used in the transmission […]
Power transformers are a crucial part of electrical transmission networksfor stepping up/down the voltage between generator and distribution circuits. Since power transformers are vital for grid management and the supply of quality power, their role […]
