1. CHALLENGES IN DEVELOPMENT OF INDIAN POWER SYSTEM Mr. V. Ramakrishna Member (Power System), CEA

2. HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT EMERGING SCENARIO CHALLENGES IN PLANNING

3. CHRONOLOGY POWER DEVELOPMENT INITIAL YEARS  Isolated Systems around Urban and Industrial Areas ELECTRICITY (SUPPLY) ACT,1948.  Rationalisation of Production and Supply of Electricity and creation of CEA for this purpose.  Extension of benefits of Electricity to Semi-urban and Rural areas in most efficient and economical manner.  Linking together contiguous areas to establish ‘Grid Systems’.  Enabled Provincial Govts to set up SEBs for development and administration of ‘Grid Systems’.

6. DEVELOPMENT OF INDIAN POWER SYSTEM CONCEPT SO FAR  Generation & transmission development on Regional self sufficiency.  Inter-regional lines for limited exchange of operational surpluses through asynchronous links.  Exchange in radial mode between ER - NR, WR - SR & ER - NR.  Surplus available not being fully utilized in other deficit regions as previous plans were not for bulk inter-regional transfer.

8. GENERATION SCENARIO PROJECTION 2011-12 16TH EPS INSTALLED CAPACITY210 GW PEAK DEMAND157 GW ENERGY (Average)2.7 GU per day

9. DEVELOPMENT OF GRID- WHAT NEXT ?  Regional Grids consolidated  Stage set for optimization at National level  Disposition of energy resources is uneven  Major Hydro resources in NER & NR  Coal reserves mostly in Bihar/ Orissa/ West Bengal.  Not much further Hydro Potential in WR & SR.  Not much further coal potential in NR & WR.  Environmental problems limiting further exploitation of Hydro Potential  Optimal location of new generating resources in ER / NER.

10. DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY PERSPECTIVE  SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS POSSIBLE WITH POWER DEVELOPMENT PLANNED ON COUNTRYWISE BASIS AND THE SYSTEM OPERATED ACCORDINGLY  SAVINGS ON ACCOUNT OF:  DEMAND DIVERSITIES  RESERVE SHARING  OPTIMAL LOCATION OF GENERATION  ENHANCED UTILISATION OF OPERATIONAL SURPLUSSES AND MERIT ORDER GENERATION ON A WIDER SCALE.  TO ACHIEVE THE ABOVE A NATIONAL GRID IS BEING DEVELOPED

11. Physical Links SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TRANSMISSION SYSTEM  MUST BE ADEQUATE AND RELIABLE TO MEET EVACUATION REQUIREMENT FOR EACH STATION SEPERATELY.  MUST PROVIDE RELIABLE DISPERSAL TO DISTRIBUTION NETWORK OF EACH AREA.  SHOULD FIT WELL INTO LONG TERM SYSTEM NEEDS  AMENABLE FOR STAGE DEVELOPMENT  OPTIMALLY UTILISE TRANSMISSION CORRIDORS  PLANNED TO MEET EXTREME CREDIBLE CONTINGENCIES In case of inter regional lines this would mean increased surplus in normally surplus regions and simultaneously increased deficit in normally deficit region.
