Power grid, the central transmission utility (CTU) of the country and one of the largest
transmission utilities in the world, is playing a strategic role in the Indian power sector and is
considered as the nerve center of power sector establish in 1989 as a government of India
enterprise, Power Grid Corp. of India Ltd. is today among the world’s largest and best managed
power transmission utilities, committed to lighting up the nations landscape. The corporation’s
core competency lies in bulk transmission of electricity across the nation as well as the
establishment and operation of regional and national power grid.
This is the first power utility in India to be certified an ISO-9001: 1994 in the year 1995.
As of today, Power grid’s expensive network comprises of 55,121 circuit kms of transmission
lines and 93 substations accounting for nearly 45% of total power transmitted.
Best operation and maintenance practices at par with international utilities; ensure over 99.74%
availability of the transmission system on an annual basis, exceeding MOU targets.
Leveraging its immense intellectual capital, Power Grid today is renowned global consultant,
executing consultancies rupees 50,000 million, beyond the countries shores.
Looking beyond power, Power Grid with a view to its massive infrastructure has setup a
nationwide broadband telecom network of 20,000kms, connecting about 60 major cities/metros.

ELECTRICAL SUB-STATION
An Electrical Sub-station is an assemblage of electrical components including
busbars switchgear, power transformers, auxiliaries etc,. Busbars are conducting
bars to which a number of incoming and outgoing circuits are connected. Each
circuit has certain electrical components such as circuit breakers, isolators, earth
switches, current transformers, voltage transformers etc. These component are
connected in a definite sequence such that a circuit can be switched on/off during
normal operation by manual/remote command and also automatically during
abnormal condition such as short circuit. A sub-station receives electrical power
from generating station via incoming transmission lines and deliver electrical power
by outgoing transmission lines. Sub-station are the integral part of a power system
important link between the generating stations, transmission and distribution
system load points.
FUNCTIONS
The task associated with a major sub-station in the transmission system includes
the following:
1. BUS-BARS
When a number of lines operating at the same voltage have to be directly
connected electrically, bus-bars are used as the common electrical components.
Bus-bars are copper or aluminium bars and operate at constant voltage. The
incoming and outgoing lines in a sub-station are connected to the bus-bars. The
most commonly used bus-bar arrangements in sub-station are:
Bus-bars are either in the form of aluminium tubes or ACSR conductors. Aluminium
tubular bus bars are mounted on post insulators. ACSR bus bars are flexible and are
supported on strain insulators.
