Tata Power Company has reportedly implemented ‘island system’ for power supplied to its consumers at Haldia in West Bengal, which will ensure continuous supply of electricity the town even during grid failure. The islanding system is increasingly being used by cities to ensure reliable power supply.
In case of breakdowns in the grid, the islanding system automatically isolates itself from the rest of the grid and ensures that generating units continue to function. During the national grid failure in June 2012, cities across India witnessed power failure whereas Tata Power’s Islanding System ensured that Mumbai had an uninterrupted supply of power.
Tata Power is India's largest integrated power company with a significant international presence. The Company has an installed generation capacity of 8747 MW in India and a presence in all the segments of the power sector viz Generation (thermal, hydro, solar and wind), Transmission, Distribution and Trading.
