Power Line is hosting a special 12-part podcast series, “Discom Perspectives”, sponsored by STS Association. The second episode in this series featured an interaction with Alok Kumar, Director General of All India Discoms Association (AIDA). […]
With renewable energy capacity expanding rapidly, power plants are increasingly using automation and digital tools to handle more complex operations and improve efficiency. Automation in the sector has progressed steadily, moving from basic mechanisation to […]
As thermal power plants (TPPs) operate under increasing pressure to improve efficiency, reliability and environmental compliance, automation is emerging as a key enabler of smarter plant operations. The integration of advanced technologies such as internet […]
As the power sector evolves with rising demand and increasing renewable integration, transformer technologies are evolving to meet these changing requirements. Advancements in materials, component designs and manufacturing processes are being adopted. In parallel, the […]
The strategic session on “Next-generation Transmission Infrastructure and Operations: Real-time optimisation, automation and system-strength management” brought together key sector leaders to deliberate upon the evolving grid requirements amid rising renewable integration and system complexity. Moderated […]
The conventional approach to power infrastructure construction – marked by manual surveying, prolonged procurement cycles and labour-intensive assembly – is gradually being replaced by data-driven, mechanised methods. Utilities today face mounting pressure to expand networks […]
Power plants and electricity producers face a range of operational and regulatory challenges. Many facilities continue to rely on outdated systems, making it difficult to maintain efficiency and comply with increasingly stringent environmental and safety […]
India’s installed thermal power capacity of 239 GW accounts for 56 per cent of the country’s total installed capacity and is the primary source for meeting the nation’s power demand. It is, therefore, imperative that […]
Ensuring optimum plant performance and quality of assets is perhaps the top priority for solar power plant operators. To this end, it is important to have skilled operations and maintenance (O&M) crews as well as […]
