DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dbbc53/transmission_syste) has announced the addition of the "Transmission System Augmentation: A Crucial Link for India's Power Sector Growth" report to their offering.
Power transmission sector in India is witnessing a massive system augmentation drive by adding capacities and infrastructure expansion plans in accordance with generation capacity addition. During the XIIth Plan, a total of 120,000[1] Ckt. Km of transmission lines and 295,000 MVA of transformer capacity are expected to be added. As per the latest estimates of MoP[2] 90,000 ckm transmission lines and 1,54,000 MVA transformer capacity is projected to be added in XIIth plan.
Transmission sector has grown in the country with a CAGR of 30 percent from the sixth plan. Huge capacity augmentation plans has lead to an increased demand for high technology driven lines and other equipments. Players in the equipment industry have been ramping up their capacities to cater to the expected future requirement. The country is now building lines at 800 KV HVDC level. Meanwhile, the central transmission utility, Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL), has been developing a 1,200 KV transmission system at Bina in Madhya Pradesh. The major challenge in future is how fast the Indian entrepreneurs are able to acquire the technologies and source the skills for operating and maintaining it.
The present inter-regional transmission capacity is 23,800 MW. According to the latest estimates by Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the interregional capacity is targeted to increase to 32,650 MW by March 2012, to 57,000 MW by 2015 and to 75,000 MW by 2017. The aim is to create highways that lead to the strengthening of national grid while ensuring overall efficiency in the delivered power.
