7. Total Installed capacity
Total installed capacity in India is 167 GW.

8. Power Demand 17th Electrical Power Survey of India, 2007[1,2]
– Power demand rise to peak value of 153 GW (1,52,746 MW) by
– India needs a generation capacity of at least 200 GW (2, 00,000 MW) to be installed by 2012 from the present level of 114 GW (1, 14,000 MW)
McKinsey & Company’s - “Powering India: The Road to 2017” [3, 4]
– India grows at an average rate of 8% for the next 10 years
– Power demand likely to soar from around 114 GW at present to 315 to 335 GW by 2017.
– Needs generation capacity of 415 to 440 GW
– 4 key factors behind the analysis are:[3, 4]
Two Surveys are made on India’s future power demand for 2012 and India’s power demand will raise to 153 GW by That means India needs generation capacity of 200 GW. By 2017, power demand will raise to 335 GW. That means need of generation capacity is 440 GW. Apart from demands, GOI has an ambitious mission of electrifying all rural areas by Thus further increases the power demand.
(i) Rise of industrial power demand,
(ii) Commercial demand rising at 14% over the next 10 years,
(iii) ‘Power for all by 2012’ and
(iv) the realization of demand suppressed due to load shedding

9. Transmission line
World's Leading Power Transmission Utility Ckt.Km line has increased from 3708 ckm in Substations as on Sept 30,2010
Transmission lines at 800/765 kV, 400 kV, 220 kV & 132 kV EHVAC & +500 kV HVDC levels
About 51% of total power generated in the country is wheeled through this transmission network

10. TL Parameters
All transmission lines in power system exhibits electrical properties of R, L, C & g
L and C are due to effects of electro magnetic and electro static fields around the conductors
Shunt conductance accounts for leakage currents flowing across insulators and ionized path in the air. But leakage currents are negligible compared to the current flowing in the TL.

11. Solid, stranded and bundle conductors
Solid conductor
Less flexibility
Less strength
Normally used for Lowcapacity
Stranded Conductor
Alternate layer spiralled opp.
to prevent unwinding
Cheaper
Lighter than cu.
Less conductivety
Less tensile st.
Because of less cond. and density results large dia. and reduced electric stress. Hence Corona free
ACSR
Steel--High tensile st.
Bundled conductor
Most effective way of constructing corona free EHV
Several conductors/phase

12. Benefits of Bundled Conductor

13. Effect of magnetic fields on TLs
If a conductor is carrying high alternating currents, the distribution of current is not evenly dispersed throughout the cross section of the conductor due to magnetic field effect. This effect is classified as skin and proximity effect.
Factors :
Nature of material,
Freq. of the system,
Diameter of wire,
Shape of wire

14. Skin Effect
If the conductor is composed of one or more concentric circular elements, then the centre portion of the conductor will be enveloped by a greater magnetic flux than those on the outside. Consequently the self induced back-emf will be greater towards the centre of the conductor, thus causing the current density to be less at the centre than the conductor surface. This extra concentration at the surface is known as skin effect, and results in an increase in the effective resistance/reactance of the conductor.
Skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to distribute itself within a conductor so that the current density near the surface of the conductor is greater than that at its core.

15. Proximity Effect
The proximity effect also increases the effective resistance/reactance and is associated with the magnetic fields of two conductors which are close together. If each carries a current in the same direction, the halves of the conductors in close proximity are cut by more magnetic flux than the remote halves. Consequently the current distribution is not even throughout the cross-section, a greater proportion being carried by the remote halves. If the currents are in opposite directions, the halves in close proximity will carry the greater density of current.

16. Interference with neighboring circuits
Electrostatic and electro magnetic fields produced by TL conductors are having certain freq. and magnitudes. Because of these fields, voltage and current are induced in the neighboring circuits (communication circuits).
Potential of the communication circuits are raised by electrostatic field effects
Electro magnetic field effect introduces current in the communication circuits along with speech signals.
These effects are mainly depends on the distance between two lines.
Steps to reduce interference:
Parallel run should be avoided.
Use greater spacing between power and communication.
Better use under ground system for any one line.
Otherwise change the communication system into microwave/carrier wave/fiber optical type.
