India, Mumbai: Siemens India has delivered 1200 kV capacitor voltage transformer (CVT) for the ultra high voltage national test station at Power Grid Corporation, Bina, Madhya Pradesh.
There are plans to move India’s transmission system to 1200 kV- the highest capacity transmission system voltage in the world, by 2017, according to PGCIL. The 1200 kV system will require less than half the space used by the existing 800 kV system as well as reducing the land footprint and overall environmental impact.
The technology will also make it possible to evacuate large amount of power from distant generating stations to load centres by interconnecting regional grids, reports The Hindu.
“Siemens is committed to be a technology partner of choice for the nation’s economic and industrial progress. The 1200 kV CVT that will form a part of the Power Grid Corporation of India’s ultra high voltage test station is yet another proof of this commitment. The roll-out of the project will deliver power to the length and breadth of the country without compromising on right-of-way, land and the environment.” said Sunil Mathur, Chief Executive Officer, Siemens India.
