India has a total installed electricity capacity of 329.30 GW as of 2017, with thermal power making up 66.6% of capacity. The highest existing transmission voltage level in India is 800kV, but plans are being made to establish an ultra high voltage level of 1200kV. This document provides information on India's total installed capacity, interconnection between regional grids, transmission voltage levels in China and planned levels in India, and asks questions about transmission line configuration, efficiency comparison methods, and a numerical problem involving voltage regulation with varying power factors.

DIGITAL ASSIGNMENT-1

1. What is the total installed capacity in India?

The utility electricity sector in India has one National Grid with an installed capacity of
329.30 GW as on 30 September 2017. Renewable power plants constituted 31.3% of total
installed capacity. During the fiscal year 2016-17, the gross electricity generated by utilities
in India was 1,236.39 TWh and the total electricity generation (utilities and non utilities) in
the country was 1,433.4 TWh. The gross electricity consumption was 1,122 kWh per capita
in the year 2016-17. India is the world's third largest producer and fourth largest consumer of
electricity. Electric energy consumption in agriculture was recorded highest (17.89%) in
2015-16 among all countries. The per capita electricity consumption is low compared to
many countries despite cheaper electricity tariff in India.

Fuel MW % of Total

Total Thermal 2,19,450 66.6%


Coal 1,93,427 58.7%
Gas 25,185 7.6%
Oil 838 0.3%
Hydro (Renewable) 44,653 13.6%
Nuclear 6,780 2.1%
RES* (MNRE) 58,303 17.7%
Total 329,226
2. Interconnection of North South Grid Connection point.

To connect the southern grid with the national grid, Power Grid has been constructing an
800 KV transmission link between Raichur in Karnataka and Sholapur in Maharashtra.
Currently, the inter-regional transmission capacity between the West and South is 1,500 MW.
With the construction of transmission lines between Maharashtra and Karnataka, the capacity
is expected to increase to 5,000 MW.

3. What is the maximum transmission level in China?

AC-1200kV in Bina s/s Madhya Pradesh. DC-800kV in HVDC Biswanath Chariali(Assam) -


Agra(UP) and HVDC Champa (Chattisgarh)-Kurukshetra(Haryana)

4. Planned AC and DC voltage level in India for future

The efforts are to set up ultra high voltage power transmission at 1200kV, the highest
voltage level anywhere in the world.

5. Design a configuration for a three phase transmission lines and calculate the
inductance and capacitance value compare with the existing configuration.
6. Compare transmission efficiency for a phi, T and end condenser method with the
help of a numerical. Compare/Infer your results.
7. Take any numerical on the topic transmission line modelling/string efficiency. Do
a graphical study.
For example: Plot a graph for the receiving end voltage and I by changing the
power factor. What is the change in voltage regulation (both leading and lagging
pf)
When the load p.f. is lagging or unity or such leading that I R cos R > I XL
sin R, then
Voltage regulation is positive i.e., receiving end voltage VR will be less than
the sending end voltage VS.
For a given VR and I, the voltage regulation of the line increases with the
decrease in p.f. for lagging loads.
When the load p.f. is leading to this extent that I XL sin R > I R cos R, then
voltage regulation is negative i.e. the receiving end voltage VR is more than
the sending end voltage VS.
For a given VR and I, the voltage regulation of the line decreases with the
decrease in p.f. for leading loads.
