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 […]
Private transmission companies have time and again raised concerns regarding the lack of a level-playing field in the segment. According to industry estimates, since the introduction of competitive bidding in 2011, of the 101 transmission […]
The transmission network in India has grown significantly over the past few years driven by the need to support the growing load and provide connectivity to generation projects. Between 2012-13 and 2017-18, the transmission line […]
Over the years, significant improvements have been made in transmission tower designs. Monopoles and multi-circuit towers, and micropile tower foundations are fast gaining traction. Advanced tower designs have reduced the right-of-way (RoW) requirement, minimised the […]
The transmission segment is grappling with the twin challenges of setting up new transmission lines and enhancing the national grid capacity. High capacity corridors, renewable integration and larger transformer capacity have increased the demand for […]
Karnataka is among the leading states in renewable energy with an installed capacity of over 12 GW, which accounts for nearly half of the state’s total installed power capacity. Of the total renewable capacity, about […]
In a power transmission system, asset management decisions are made on a continuous basis during the lifespan of a transmission line, with emphasis on extending the life of the assets, maintaining or improving reliability and […]
State transmission utility, Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam (RVPN), is witnessing significant growth. In line with the state’s plans to harness its huge renewable energy potential of over 10 GW, significant efforts are being made […]
GE T&D India Limited is one of the key equipment manufacturers, having contributed significantly to the modernisation of the power sector in the country. It played a major role in the development of power transmission […]
Over the past few years, the techniques for the design, installation, surveying and testing of transmission towers have undergone significant changes. Owing to factors such as increasing urbanisation, limited space availability and the need to […]
Cables and conductors are the most essential components of a power transmission network. They are crucial not just in the development of a new network but also in the strengthening of the existing grid in […]
Avada Kedavra! Tom Marvolo Riddle, known as Voldemort, or He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, is the primary villain in the famous Harry Potter series by J K Rowling. In the books, his rise to power is marked by atrocities […]
The increase in transmission over long distances, generation of grid-connected variable renewable energy, as well as the synchronisation of an all-India network pose additional voltage and stability problems. Hence, the need to transmit power efficiently […]
India has an extensive transmission network spanning 390,970 ckt. km (at the 220 kV and above voltage levels) as of March 2018. Minor failures at any point in the transmission network can result in disruptions […]
Power consumption in Bihar has seen a remarkable increase in recent years. Peak demand increased by over 138 per cent during the period 2012-17 vis-à-vis the all-India average growth of just 21 per cent. To […]
