Tata Power, India’s largest integrated power company has adopted a self-healing grid technology at its 11kV distribution network in Kandivali, the first of its kind in India to be implemented by the company as a distribution utility. This will ensure uninterrupted power to its consumers, while developing a robust network backbone to support its growing consumer base.
The purpose of the self-healing grid technology is to help automate the process of restoration of power supply to keep interruptions (if any) to a bare minimum.
Unlike the conventional centralized control approach, self-healing grid (SHG) is a totally decentralized approach where, in case of power fault, every substation communicates with each other and executes the best possible instruction for rapid fault isolation and restoration of supply in the network.
