Hartek Power has bagged a prestigious order from the Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) for augmenting an extra high-voltage 400KV substation project spread over three states. Encompassing Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan, the project will cater to a population of about 7 crore. The scope of work of the project entails complete execution of the substation package involving conversion of fixed line reactors into switchable line reactors with the purpose of curtailing outages. The project, which will go a long way in strengthening the northern grid, is scheduled for completion by February 2020. Hartek Power will convert fixed line reactors to switchable line reactors so that these devices can be optimally used to curtail line outages at 400-KV substations located in Ballia and Sohawal in Uttar Pradesh, Kankroli in Rajasthan and Abdullapur in Haryana. Current-limiting devices which counter rapid variations in voltage, reactors stabilise the frequency at which electricity is transmitted and distributed by filtering the disturbances in the power system. Switchable line reactors have a distinct advantage over fixed line reactors as unlike fixed line reactors.
