invVEST USA-India Enery Initiatives.

1. INDIAN POWER SECTOR
AND
SMARTGRID
INITIATIVES

2. Power Sector in India
• Ministry of Power deals with development
of power sector in India which includes legal and
policy initiatives, R&D, capacity building , financial
and technical interventions to improve distribution
efficiency
• Works with the Policy guidelines laid by the
Cabinet which is responsible to the Parliament
• Planning Commission and Standing committees of
the Parliament also give directions to MoP
• Interacts with CERC and SERCs
• MNRE deals with Renewable sources of energy 2

3. Power Sector in India
• Central Electricity Authority (CEA) is the technical
arm of the Ministry of Power.
• Central Transmission Utility (CTU) ie PGCIL is
responsible for inter regional and inter state
transmission
– Private sector is also involved in transmission
• State Transmission Utilities (STUs) is responsible
for transmission within the state
• National Tariff Policy, National Electricity Policy
and Rural Electrification Policies are in place
according to the Electricity Act, 2003 3

4. Power Scenario in India
• Total installed Capacity : 178 GW
• Mix: Thermal 66%, Hydro 20 %, Nuclear 3%,
Renewables 11%
• Plans for 100 GW addition in next plan
• 4 ultra Mega Power Plants of 4000 MW each
sanctioned
• 20 GW solar generation by 2020.

6. Power Scenario in India
• Transmission Voltages: 765 KV, 400 KV and
220 KV
• Initiative taken for 1000 KV transmission
• India is divided into five electrical grids
• National despatch center, RLDC and SLDCs
are in place
• All census villages to be electrified by 2012
6

7.  Total 85 entities are in operation in the country
[ 7 - in central / joint sector , 78 in state sector ( 32 -
DISCOMs, 16-TRANSCOs, 4- SEBs, 15 -GENCOs
and 9 PDs, others -2) ]
 Beside above there are power exchanges (PXIL, IEX,
NPEX),Central and State Electricity Regulatory Commissions,
Training Institutions.
 In addition, there are two dedicated financial institutions- REC
and PFC- in the country for funding power sector.
 The distribution of power is mainly with state power utilities
(about 88%), Balance 12% is in the Private Sector.

8. Concerns in the sector
• Has to keep pace and help to sustain the 9-10%
growth rate achieved by India, maintained even
during the world economic recession
• Access to electricity – grid or non grid- to all in
hamlets and remote areas
• High AT&C losses (reduced from 38.86% in
2001-02 to 28.44% in 2008-09)
• Aging infrastructure

10. Restructured Accelerated Power
Development and Reforms Program
• A $ 1.2 Billion program was launched in 2008
to ensure actual demonstrable loss reduction to
15% on a sustainable basis in towns and cities
with population > 30,000 (10,000 in special
areas)- 1401 towns under the program.
• Establishment of reliable and automated
systems for sustained collection of accurate
base line data, and the adoption of Information
Technology in the areas of energy accounting
10

11. R-APDRP
• Part - A: Metering of Distribution
Transformers and Feeders, Automatic Data
Logging for all Distribution Transformers and
Feeders, SCADA / DMS system, Preparation of
Consumer Indexing, GIS Mapping of
consumers and entire distribution network, IT
applications for meter reading, billing &
collection; energy accounting & auditing; MIS;
redressal of consumer grievances; establishment
of IT enabled consumer service centres etc.

12. RAPDRP
• Part - B: Renovation, modernization and
strengthening of 11 kV level Substations,
Transformers/Transformer Centers, Re-
conductoring of lines at 11kV level and below,
Load Bifurcation, feeder separation, Load
Balancing, HVDS (11kV), Aerial Bunched
Conductoring in dense areas, replacement of
electromagnetic energy meters with tamper
proof electronics meters, installation of
capacitor banks and mobile service centres etc.

13. For the systemic growth of the Smart Grid
in the country, Government of India has
constituted a
Indian Smart Grid Task Force (ISGTF)
And
India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF)

14. India Smart Grid Task force
 Smart Grid Task Force is an inter ministerial group
and will serve as Government’s focal point for
activities related to “Smart Grid”.
 The task force is chaired by Mr Sam Pitroda,Advisor
to Prime Minister on public Information
Infrastructure
 Objective : Development of Smart Grid technologies
in the Indian Power Sector.
• Role : Ensuring awareness, coordination &
integration of the diverse activities related to SMART
GRID technologies , R&D, inter-governmental
activities, interoperability frame work, review &
validate recommendations of SMART GRID forum
etc

to join the forum /institution.
• More than 100 experts have given their nominations
for contribution for various working groups.
• ISGF has signed an MoU with Korean Smart Grid
Forum & Japanese Smart Grid (NEDO)

20. Signing of MoU with KSGF at Jeju,
Korea on 8-Nov-2010

22. India Smart Grid
…….WAY FORWARD
• Devise low cost /cost economical solutions & hardware for
SMART meters for all consumers:
• AMR meters at the customer level eliminating the need for
human intervention in reading.
• Use the GSM backbone for the long haul back to the
DattaCenters
• Cost of meters to be well within $ 20-30,keeping in view
the large volume required
• Identification of pilots for development of Smart Grid
• Identifying areas of improvement in policies/ regulations for
development of SMART GRID
22

23. India Smart Grid Forum
…….WAY FORWARD
• Need for formulating of required protocols/ standards
• Development of SMART GRID for integration & usage of
renewables & reducing carbon foot prints making world more
livable.
• Energy storage mechanisms to be evolved to smoothen the
variations in the wind and solar generation.
• Evolve DDG systems to bring far flung villages into the
power coverage
