PowerGrid to set up a smart grid on pilot basis

14 Nov 2011 Evaluate

In a bid to build a smart city that can be a model for power distribution and consumption, State-run transmission utility, PowerGrid Corporation of India is exploring the possibility of setting up a smart grid on pilot basis.

In this regard, the company will convene a meeting in December with all the stakeholders, including manufacturers/suppliers of equipment, companies involved in the transmission and distribution, developers of green technology and other related industries, to chalk out a plan for a pilot.

Smart grid will reduce transmission and distribution loss besides controlling theft, ensuring better availability in rural areas and increasing reliability and quality of supply in urban areas.

The country has one of the largest T&D losses in the world, with almost 30 percent of the installed capacity of 1,82,345 mw being lost in transmission. The transmission network of the country is 2,65,000 circuit km (ckm).

PowerGrid is India’s principal electric power transmission company. It owns and operates most of India’s interstate and inter-regional electric power transmission systems with inter-regional power transfer capacity of about 20,800 MW and wheels nearly 45% of total power generated across India. GoI holds 69.42% stake in PGCIL as on March 31, 2011.
