Over the last twenty years, the telecommunications sector in India has undergone a major revolution. Today, India is the world’s second-largest telecommunications market with a subscriber base of 1.16 billion (Source: India Brand Equity Foundation). Over the next five years, rise in mobile phone penetration and decline in data costs is expected to add 500 …

In a previous blog on Health Assessment of Transmission Towers, we underscored the importance of regular maintenance in order to ensure the optimal performance of any infrastructure asset. Improper functioning of earthing and lightning protection system (LPS) would render critical infrastructure at electrical substations at grave risk. Therefore, it is crucial that routine testing and …

Most of the Low-Carbon Technologies (LCTs) used today (mainly EV battery charging, rooftop solar systems and data centre loads) are all non-linear loads. Ohm’s law is not applicable to such loads, meaning that the current is not proportional to the voltage and fluctuates based on the alternating load impedance. Utilities face many problems as their …
Utility companies transitioning to Smart Grid operations can significantly benefit from real-time knowledge of the internal operating state of their assets. For power Transformers, the key parameters for optimal performance are oil and winding temperature indications (OTI/WTI). These two parameters are the key indicators of efficiency losses and constraint levels of the quantity of power …
The United Nations, through its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), has formulated a global agenda to spur economic growth while tackling climate change at the same time. Goal 7 of the SDGs directs member states to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for everyone. Low carbon technologies (LCTs) such as electric vehicles, …
