Raichur-Solapur
line's working fine, stable now: Power Grid Power Grid's
Raichur-Solapur line has been connected to national grid. RN Nayak, the
CMD says there were four trippings in the first week. Two were to
increase reliability and were done intentionally, and the other two were
because of a few glitches. For the last month there has been no
tripping.
With the synchronization of the Southern Grid with the National Grid on January 1, the power starved Southern region is expected to get major relief with the grid becoming fully operational by July this year with a capacity to carry around 5,000 MW of power.
The Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL), which is the nodal agency for implementing this project, is at present carrying out experiments to study how the grid could be made stable. At present, the grid has a capacity to carry around 1,500 MW of power and this will go up to 5,000 MW by June or July this year when the grid becomes fully operational.
“We expect the study to complete by June-July and the operations to start in full swing thereafter,” PGCIL CMD R. N. Nayak said.
The Tamilnadu government has entered into agreements with companies in Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand and Maharashtra to source 2,158MW of power. Nearly, 1426MW would be made available to the state once the Raichur-Sholapur transmission line is operational in August, the chief minister said.
