CONSTRUCTION OF 220 KV GIS SUBSTATION AT THE TATA POWER CO LTD.MUMBAI

摘要

India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world with a growth rate of 6.2% in 2011 -12. Mumbai Metropolitan City in India is the financial capital of India. Mumbai power demand has increased from 2360 MW in 2004 to 3150 MW in 2012 resultingin a load density of 5MW per square km and a growth rate of more than 8% in some parts of the suburbs. To meet the rapid load growth in a metropolitan city like Mumbai, the infrastructure for Generation, Transmission and Distribution needs to be augmented. The load pattern of Mumbai includes combination of Industrial, Residential, Refineries, Continuous process industries, Railways, Airport and many other essential services which warrants for uninterrupted power supply. Therefore to meet the growing demand in a densely populated city like Mumbai, gas insulated substations are the best alternative with a reduced foot print.
