IIT-Bombay to provide analytics to GETCO for stable operation during crisis

Mumbai, Jun 4 (KNN) With a view to avoiding power blackout similar to the one of July 2012 due to grid failure, IIT-Bombay is developing a system protection that will provide real-time data to the load centre, which can then take emergency control action in case of disturbances.
IIT-Bombay will develop analytics to provide real time load data to the Gujarat Electricity Transmission Corporation (GETCO) in order to help Gujarat maintain stable operation during small disturbances.
"Dynamic stability analysis is necessary mainly because the grid is integrated. Any disturbance in one region can result in blackout in the other grid area as well," Getco Managing Director Surinder Negi told reporters here yesterday.
The state will also set up 29 phasor measuring units (PMUs) on the grid, across the state that will get the accurate time-stamped voltage and current information through the analytics.
"PMUs will get the information through the system protection that will be passed on to the state load dispatch centre, which can take immediate action in case of any emergency," he said.
Further, IIT-Bombay is also working with Power Grid for a similar system protection to prevent power outages in case of over-drawl of electricity.
On July 30, 2012, three regional grids -- Northern, Eastern and North eastern had collapsed, due to which the country had faced major power outage. There was no electricity across the nation for several hours. (KNN Bureau)
