Preventive maintenance will double the power quality and efficiency

India’s stockpile power generation capacity still needs to be referred to as or regarded as empowering. Looking at our progress toward developing a power infrastructure, we can see that power availability, capacity, and other factors are improving. Better planning and faster implementation can be seen in commercial and industrial settings.

“To be more specific, I don’t think it’s the surplus generation capacity,” says H. C. Sharma, Chief of Business
Development, Contracts, Stores, and Technical Services, at Tata Power-DDL.
Maintaining an efficient power supply Digital substations and modern power equipment can reduce copper infusion into a system, increasing the reliability of an efficient power supply. Meanwhile, an alchemical rectification is required. However, we must work on developing indigenous products that complement our substations well.
Improving operational efficiency and cost reduction Operation efficiencies and cost reduction are two essential matters. When we talk about increasing operational efficiencies, automation and allied technologies come into the picture—whether for operations, maintenance, or engaging a skilled workforce. Digitalisation and digital tools help identify and detect faults in a power substation right from the outset of the fault occurrence and notify us in
advance so that preventive measures can be taken.
To maintain the same, we have several self-monitoring systems available. These are pre-defined based on the data available from the equipment, which can be further analysed to take preventive precautionary actions accordingly and ensure reliable output and operational efficiency by the utility. This emphasises that digitalisation and automation are two of the power sector’s most critical yet essential aspects. Furthermore, we see widespread acceptance of the same in the Indian power sector, with utilities taking all possible steps to implement it and making room for automation, digitalisation, and other allied technologies to improve overall output.
Improving T&D efficiency to bridge the demand-supply gapPower generation companies are not directly accountable for maintaining the demand-supply gap. Distribution companies are likely to estimate the power requirements and forecast the required energy consumption every 15 minutes; that is one of their primary responsibilities. This entire procedure is known as power scheduling and is then distributed to power companies.
So, distribution companies must find new ways to balance the demandsupply mismatch. Solar energy must be
prioritised when it comes to renewable energy because its production capacity varies depending on plant capacity and patterns. Distribution companies must address all of the systemic, consumer, and prosumer uncertainties.
