HEADWINDS REMAIN FOR THERMAL POWER SECTOR
“As the macro and sectoral factors improve, backed by strong legislative and policy measures - such as amendments to Electricity Act and Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code - stress in the thermal power sector will abate but it is a long road ahead!” - Sambitosh Mohapatra, Sandeep Kumar Mohanty
Burning Bright
Strong policy thrust on renewables to drive capacity addition; AT&C loss reduction to remain key for the financial health of distribution utilities - Girishkumar Kadam
Electrical Safety Earthing
The article highlights the importance of earthing with study of different low voltage earthing systems world-wide. - Divyanshu Pal, Shahrukh Khan, Dr. Rajesh Arora
Trends in Underground Cables
The type of underground cable to be used at a particular location is determined by the voltage at which it is re-quired to operate. Underground cables are classified and used at a particular location as per their voltage rating. - Munazama Ali
Transmission Lines in Smart Grid
The power flows from power utilities to consumers whereas if wireless sensor networks are added, then the real time price information will also flow from base station to consumers. If the consumer is aware of price of power in peak times, then consumer will act accordingly and regulate his consumption as per price information sent to him. - Geeta Yadav
Wireless Power Transmission
Transmission of electrical energy from source to load without having any physical wired connection, i.e. wireless power transmission will play significant role in future electronics and electrical applications. This paper discusses about wireless power transmission, principles, advantages and its scope in future.
Transmission Losses in India
In this article, the power sector is reviewed with specific focus on transmission and distribution system losses.
Enabling Technologies for Smarter Grid
