8th Annual Conference on July 21-222, 2015, The Westin, Gurgaon Organised by: Supported by: Co-sponsors so far*: www.globaltransmission.info *Lead and Co-sponsorship slots are still available POWER TRANSMISSION IN INDIA Mission z The power transmission sector in the country has seen robust capacity addition in 2014-15, with around 18,000 ckt. km of lines being added at the 220 kV and above voltage levels (as of February 2015). In comparison, the line length addition during the same period in 2013-14 was around 13,600 ckt. km. The transformer capacity added was also much higher at 55,000 MVA during 2014-15 (as of February 2015) as compared to 45,600 MVA during the same period in 2013-14. z Progress in transmission capacity addition at higher voltage levels continues to remain steady. More than 50 per cent of the transformer capacity addition and one-third of the line length addition during 2014-15 has been at the 765 kV level. Work on the development of 1,200 kV UHVAC and 800 kV HVDC lines has also made good progress. The country’s first 800 kV HVDC line – Biswanath Chariyali to Agra – which will carry 6,000 MW of power, is expected to be operational by May 2015. z Integration of renewable energy is another key focus area for transmission planners. With the government’s ambitious plans to install 100 GW of solar power capacity by 2022 and 10 GW of wind power every year, evacuation of this power will be a challenge. Realising this, the central transmission utility, Powergrid, is developing nine high capacity green transmission corridors. The CTU has also announced a Desert Power Plan, which outlines the transmission capacity needed to evacuate solar and wind power from the desert regions of India by 2050. Recently, the company has been assigned the construction of transmission lines and pooling substations for solar parks in seven states. z Further, 11 high capacity power transmission corridors (HCPTCs) being implemented by Powergrid are making swift progress. Transmission lines and substation packages have been awarded for most of the HCPTCs and are under implementation. Most of these are expected to be commissioned in 2015-16. z The state sector has contributed a significant 42 per cent of the line length addition and 46 per cent of the transformer capacity addition during 2014-15 (as of February 2015). Most of this addition has been at the 400 kV and 220 kV level. However, the growth in intrastate transmission network has lagged behind that in the interstate transmission system. z India is planning to construct several cross-border interconnections with its neighbouring countries to boost power trade. These links are part of the country’s larger plan of creating an integrated SAARC power market. The most recent cross-border transmission line constructed was the 400 kV Baharampur (India) – Bheramara (Bangladesh) line, commissioned by Powergrid in September 2013. Four more interconnections – one each with Bhutan and Sri Lanka and two with Nepal – are either under way or at the planning stage. z The changing requirements of the transmission system are driving technology developments in the area. High performance conductors (HPCs) are already being used, while R&D is being carried out on superconducting cables. Towers are being designed to lower RoW requirements. FACTS and HVDC transmission technologies are offering increased flexibility in meeting transmission challenges. z The mission of this conference is to provide a platform for key stakeholders in transmission to discuss the current and upcoming requirements, opportunities, challenges, and the way forward for the sector. The conference will address issues such as capacity addition plans, technology developments, cross-bborder opportunities and integration of renewable energy.
