A conducive policy framework has helped the transmission sector to develop consistently at a significant growth rate. The growth is likely to continue over the next few years. “The power transmission segment is currently the […]
Towers are a crucial part of a transmission line project, carrying overhead lines at a safe height over the ground, right from the generation plant to the load centres. On an average, towers and their […]
With a growing focus on expanding and strengthening the transmission network, a number of new tower installation technologies have emerged, which aim to improve the efficiency of installation and address site-specific challenges. The built-up method, section […]
The government’s ambitious renewable energy capacity addition targets will require a significant expansion of transmission capacity in difficult terrain and remote areas. In this regard, surveying can play a crucial role in setting up transmission […]
Arobust tower foundation is indispensable for a reliable transmission network. New tower foundation designs seek to customise structures to suit the local terrain and reduce the time required for construction. Precast and grillage foundations, which […]
The power transmission segment has witnessed robust growth in the past year, mainly due to the push provided by recent policy, regulatory and government initiatives. Over the next few years, significant grid expansion is expected […]
Gujarat’s state transmission company, Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited (GETCO) has drawn up a comprehensive plan for modernising and augmenting its infrastructure over the next four years. Investments in transmission are driven by the need […]
Ukraine has been taking all the necessary steps to secure its membership in the European Union (EU) and for the integration of its power grid into that of Europe’s. The country’s transmission system operator (TSO), […]
India’s electrical equipment industry has been growing steadily over the past few years with the major growth drivers being the cables and switchgear markets. Switchgear is classified as low voltage (LV), those having ratings of […]
The transmission segment has grown significantly over the past few years driven by a conducive policy framework, active private sector participation, and concerted efforts by Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (Powergrid). As of May […]
There has been a growing focus on the development of the ultra high voltage (UHV) transmission network in the country. A UHV network comprising voltages of 1,000 kV or above in alternating current (AC) and […]
Tower costs typically range from one-fourth to half of total transmission line costs. As such, design optimisation could result in reasonable savings. Consequently, new designs, solutions and construction techniques for transmission towers are garnering significant […]
In India, the distribution of natural energy resources is uneven and concentrated in a few pockets. Without interstate as well as inter-regional links, these resources cannot be used optimally. There is also a need for […]
Transmission conductors are a vital component of the power transmission infrastructure. To set up a strong transmission network, it is required that the conductors allow long distance transmission of power at minimum loss level and […]
The India Grid Trust (IndiGrid), the power sector’s first infrastructure investment trust (InvIT), successfully completed its initial public offering (IPO) in May 2017. Sterlite Power Grid Ventures Limited (SPGVL), a leading private transmission developer, is […]
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing economic regions in the world, and the incorporation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in December 2015 is expected […]
