Power Transmission

Electricity and efficient   power transmission in India   has always been a topic of discussion for us. The power generation as well as   power transmission   sources in India are centralized. The problem, however, is that with an increase in the population and the swelling needs for power generation, its stability is fast gaining momentum. An evident change has taken place ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about his vision to create a “one world, one sun, and one grid network.” In other words, he reiterated his idea of creating a single grid network that will transfer solar power instantaneously to any and every part of the world. Utilizing natural resources would, in turn, be highly beneficial for us. One of the key players to champion this idea and formulate the Intercontinental Electricity Grid (IEG) is   Sterlite Power Transmission Limited. Strengthening and enhancing the transmission system network With the world e...

Lack of reliable electricity supply is one of the biggest hurdles for socio-economic development of the nation Imagine a life without electricity. The world comes to a standstill as the sun goes down. No engine to fire transportation. No television. No internet. No mobile phone. Health services are affected. And then there is our primal fear of darkness. Get more information  electric power transmission That is the reality that more than a quarter of India’s population has long lived with. But light may gradually be entering their dark, dismal existence. On April 28, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that every single village in India is now electrified and called it a historic day in India’s development journey. Going beyond the politics of electrification, let’s first acknowledge that this is a huge accomplishment. The World Bank in its latest ‘Energy Progress report’ says India is doing more than any other country in providing electricity to people. Between 20...

The year 2016 will be remembered as the tipping point for solar energy. For the first time, it became cheaper to produce your own electricity than to buy it from the grid! Prime Minister Narendra Modi could not have asked for a better timing. The sharp drop in solar prices perfectly coincided with his first term. His government’s vision of adding 100 GW of solar generation capacity may in fact materialize as early as the year 2022. What’s more, the macro environment for solar power looks poised for an upsurge. India has an abundance of the two most critical elements for solar power – land and sunshine.

Therefore, it seems as if nothing can stand in the way of India’s charge towards solar power. However, the power...

Due to increasing urbanization and industrial growth, energy consumption has gone up in Tier I and Tier II cities in India. The rising population, along with the government’s focus to provide uninterrupted electricity to all homes by 2019, is projected to increase electricity consumption five to six times between 2014 and 2030. Over the last few decades, India has witnessed a steep rise in generation capacity. With government’s efforts, even if half of the planned renewable capacity gets installed by 2022, the generation would certainly match the nation’s requirement.

This network must be made available to enable the downstream to the load centers around densely populated urban areas of important states and industrial areas.  Und...
