Tata Power-Delhi Distribution Ltd (Tata Power-DDL) has partnered with Japan-based Nissin Electric Co Ltd to launch India’s first micro substation with a power voltage transformer (PVT) in Delhi. This innovative project is part of the International Demonstration Project on Japan’s Energy Efficiency Technologies, supported by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO). The primary objective of this initiative is to provide a low-cost and reliable power supply to consumers in remote areas of India.
The micro substation with PVT technology is designed to address the challenges of providing stable power to areas that are far from the power grid or lack a fully developed grid. By converting high-voltage power directly from transmission lines to low-voltage power, this technology can enable the supply of power to residential consumers without the need for a large network of power lines. This approach is not only cost-effective but also requires minimal installation space.
A key benefit of this technology is its ability to manage peak loads efficiently, resulting in lower operational costs. Unlike traditional generators, which require frequent refuelling and maintenance, the micro substation with PVT technology eliminates these needs, making it a reliable and low-maintenance solution. This innovation has the potential to transform the way power is distributed to remote areas, providing a stable and efficient supply of electricity to millions of consumers.
Tata Power-DDL, which serves around 9 million consumers in North Delhi, is at the forefront of this initiative. The company’s collaboration with Nissin Electric Co Ltd and NEDO demonstrates its commitment to adopting cutting-edge technologies to improve the reliability and efficiency of its power distribution network. With the successful commissioning of India’s first micro substation with PVT technology, Tata Power-DDL is paving the way for the widespread adoption of this innovative solution across the country. This project has the potential to make a significant impact on the lives of millions of people in India, providing them with access to reliable and efficient power supply.
