Work crawls on power transmission, sub-stations
//WEB// The task force has recommended Centralized Remote Monitoring, Operation of Substations including SCADA, Flexible AC Transmission devices (FACTs), Dynamic Line Loading system (DLL), Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS) using phasor measurement unit (PMU) and data analytics, Hybrid AC / HVDC system among others. The Task force also recommended benchmarks for transmission network availability and voltage control based on performance of global transmission utilities.
A per the roadmap of for integration of of 500 GW renewable energy to the transmission system, the additional transmission systems of high voltage direct current transmission corridors at an estimated cost of ₹2.44 trillion. Considering the availability of renewable energy based generation for a limited period during day, the plan also envisages installation of battery energy storage capacity of the order of 51.5 GW by 2030 to provide round-the-clock power to end-consumers.
