Sterlite Power has become a pioneer in introducing some of the best global practices in the Indian power transmission sector and innovation. https://www.sterlitepower.com/innovation

1. INNOVATION

3.  AIR CRANE
 For the first time in India, Sterlite Power deployed
an air crane to set up a power transmission line in
the mountainous terrains of Jammu & Kashmir.
The company has partnered with US-based
Erickson Inc. to install transmission towers in the
Pir Panjal ranges using Erickson’s S64 Aircrane, a
heavy-lift helicopter. It will help Sterlite Power
commission NRSS XXIX Transmission Limited
ahead of schedule and ensure power for all in
Jammu & Kashmir besides improving the
reliability of the grid system.

4.  LIDAR SURVEY
 Sterlite Power has always been at the forefront of new
technologies. For the first time in India, we used Light
Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). This technology uses laser
distance measuring technology to conduct topographic
mapping with the help of aircrafts. Transmitted from the
aircraft, LiDAR beams are able to function in overcast and
cloudy conditions, can penetrate dense vegetation and
provide high accuracy at high speed. Such automation helps
in optimising cost and time and is far more efficient than
manual surveys. Adding to it, the risk of project execution
comes down significantly with the use of such technologies,
unlike conventional technologies.

5.  HELI STRINGING
 Since companies in the power transmission sector spend a
lot of time resolving socio-economic issues involved in the
projects, we have opted for newer methods for ensuring the
‘Right of Way’. Sterlite Power has joined the elite club of
global transmission companies that promote best industry
practices to build power transmission networks. We have
opted for Helicopter Stringing for the Bhopal-Indore 765 kV
and Bhopal 400 kV power transmission lines of BDTCL
project. Heli-stringing enables quick execution of installing
cables, which otherwise is a tedious and time-consuming
process. Moreover, it has reduced the project execution time
and shortened transmission line shutdown time. It also
renders minimal disturbance to the local community and the
environment, which in turn avoids complexities related to
‘Right of Way’.

6.  RIVER CROSSING
 Transmission lines of Sterlite Power traverse through some of
the most difficult terrains including rivers Ganga, Kosi and
Narmada. The vivacious Ganga during peak monsoon posed
as a major hurdle for the commissioning of ENICL. Through
its experience in any type of adversity, Sterlite Power’s team
overcame the challenges thrown by ferocious Uttarakhand
floods in 2014. Barges of 1,000 metric tonne capacity were
anchored in the middle of the river to erect the tower amid
Ganga’s high swings. Barge mounted telescopic cranes with
90-meter hydraulic boom enabled the erection of a 100-meter
high tower from the foundation level with project inputs
transported through mechanized country boats.
