2. Introduction
Interstate & intera state transmission
system are interconnected and together
the electrictygrid by Government of
India(GOI).
IN 1963 India was divided in five region .
PGCIL(power grid corporation of india
limited) was established in 1989 to
implemented the decision of GOI to form
a NATIONAL GRID .
3. Business
POWERGRID operates throughout india.
It transmission network consists of roughly
134,018 circuit kilometers
It consisats 214 EHVAC & HVDC stations,
which provide total transformation
capacity of 278,862 MVA.
POWERGRID is listed on both the BSE &
the NSE.

Location of RLDC’s and Installed Capacity
10. • Northern Grid : Deficit Region , highly weather
sensitive load, Adverse weather conditions like fog
and dust storm
• Sothern Grid : High load , Monsoon dependent
hydro
• Eastern Grid : Low load ,High coal reserve
• Western Grid : Industrial Load
• North-Eastern Grid : Very low load , High hydro
potential , Evacuation problems
Peculiarities of Regional Grids in India :

Transmission Network - Present
20. Our Nertworks
Company owns and operates
about 1,35,319 ckt kms of transmission
lines at 800/765kV, 400kV, 220kV & 132kV
EHVAC & +500kV HVDC levels and 217
sub-stations.
Also the transformation capacity of
about 2,80,992 MVA as on
28th February 2017
21. Opportunities in Future
Indian power system is facing high AT&C
Losses, poor distribution network, wide
demand – supply gap of energy, poor asset
management etc. Smart grid technology
will bring solutions to all of the mentioned
problems and sustainability by way of
demand side management, demand
response, outage management, reduction
in AT&C losses and improved customer
satisfaction

25. Advantages of Electric Grids
o Reduced operational cost
o Increased employee safety
o Increased revenue
o Volatility arising from dynamic pricing might cause
catastrophic rate spikes (similar to Uber’s surge pricing)
o Complicated rate structures might not incentivize
(encourage) efficiency if customers do not understand what
their current rates are.
Disadvantages of Electric Grids
26. With the completion of Raichur - solapur 765KV
line India becomes
one of the largest operating synchronous grids in
the world (one grid one nation) and
Interconnection of international grids help in the
improvement of Economy of the country as well
as it builds positive relationship between
neighbouring countries by power sharing/trading
