Power Transmission Tower

Power Transmission Tower  A  transmission tower  or  power tower  (alternatively  electricity pylon  or variations) is a tall  structure , usually, a steel  lattice tower  used to support an  overhead power line . Power transmission tower consists of the following parts:- 1) The peak of the transmission tower  2) Cross arm of transmission tower  3) The boom of transmission tower  4) Cage of transmission tower  5) Transmission Tower Body  6) Leg of transmission tower  7) Stub/Anchor Bolt and Baseplate assembly of a transmission tower.  The main parts of these are shown in the pictures. The peak of Transmission Tower The portion above the top cross arm is called the peak of the transmission tower. Generally, earth shield wire connected to the tip of this peak. Cross Arm of Transmission Tower Cross arms of transmission tower hold the transmission conductor. The dimension of cross arm depends on the level of transmission voltage, configuration and mini

HVDC Transmission Substation

HVDC Transmission Definition : High voltage direct current (HVDC) control frameworks use D.C. for transmission of mass control over long separations. For long-separate power transmission, HVDC lines are more affordable, and misfortunes are less when contrasted with AC transmission. It interconnects the systems that have diverse frequencies and attributes.  In a transmission, exchanging rushes of voltage and current goes in the line which alters its course every millisecond; because of which misfortunes happen as warmth. Not at all like AC lines, the voltage and current waves don't alter their course in DC. HVDC lines increment the productivity of transmission lines because of which control is quickly exchanged.  In a joined AC and DC framework, created AC voltage is changed over into DC at the sending end. At that point, the DC voltage is upset to AC at the less than desirable end, for dispersion purposes. In this manner, the change and reversal hardware are likewise requ

Substation and its Components

Sub-Station It is a conversion point between transmission-level voltages (such as 138 kV) and distribution level voltages (such as 11 kV). A substation has one or more step down transformers and serves a regional area such as part of a city or neighborhood. They are connected to each other by a transmission ring circuit. Equipment and its function 1). Lightening Arrestor This is the first component in an electrical substation, and the principle capacity of these segments is to shield the segments of the substation from passing high voltage just as stops  the amplitude and duration of the flow of current . The light arrestor segments are associated among the earth just as a line which mean parallel to the parts under resistance at the electrical substation.    Bushings and Lightning Arrestor These parts divert the flow of current to the ground and hence secure the framework's conductor just as protection from damage. Th Lightning Arrestor does not let the

Sustainable Energy in India: Current Status and Future Potential

Sustainable Energy in India It isn't covered up any longer that India has a huge supply of inexhaustible assets and it has one of the biggest projects in the world for sending sustainable power source items and frameworks. India is the main nation on the planet to have a restrictive service for sustainable power source improvement, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) which has propelled one of the world's biggest and aggressive projects on the sustainable power source. This article gives a short review of different sustainable power source assets, their status in India, the financial effect of sustainable power source assets (RES), challenges related with it and the eventual fate of RES in India. Renewable Energy versus Coal Vitality is viewed as the most critical structure hinder in human advancement and it is a key factor that impacts the manageable improvement of any country. The ordinary sources have a scary shadow on our present and future worldwid
