these 67 coal blocks have a capacity of 250 to 300 million tonnes. There are still many blocks which are yet to be auctioned. Recently the Supreme Court of India cancelled the auction of 204 blocks which approximately have the capacity of producing anything between 800 and 900 million tonnes of coal. So we hope that we will be able to at least either auction or allocate a large number of blocks which will give a boost to the sector.”

The recent auction of coal blocks has set standards for a transparent and objective manner for which it has got appreciation too. Increase in coal production by the CIL has been a high point for the coal sector. We have been working towards the rationalization of linkages so that coal which is unnecessarily carried to long distances could be swapped with some other company. Overall value creation of Rs. 4.04 lakh crore from 67 coal blocks auctioned and allotted so far. Narrating the challenges faced by the coal industry he says, “One of the major challenges is the quantity of coal produced in India. There is a greater demand and the supply is less. In the year 2014-15 around 200 million tonnes of coal was imported. The quality of coal is also a problem. Inherently the ash content in Indian coal is much higher than the usual, so the coal needs to be washed. Along with these one of the major obstacles which the sector is facing is the supply of coal through the railway network. The non-availability of rakes is indeed a problem but now the situation has improved and the rakes are being made available.”

Status of Coal Supply `

During 2014-15, coal dispatch to the power sector from CIL/ SCCL sources grew by 9%.

`

During 2014-15, coal materialization to the power sector from CIL/SCCL sources has been 87.6%.

`

For the period April, 2014 to February, 2015, coal based power plants have generated 732.5 Billion Units (BU) as compared to 648.3 BU generated during the same period of last year, registering a growth of 13%.

Coal stock of Power plants is monitored by CEA for 100 major Power plants. As on 31st March’15, these 100 Power plants had 26.10 MT coal stock, sufficient for 18 days coal requirement. As on 31st March, out of these 100 monitored plants, there were 12 Power plants with critical coal stock (with less than 7 days coal requirement) out of which only 6 were supercritical(stock with less than 4 days consumption).

For combat obstacles that are prevalent in the industry, he said, “We are engaging very intensively with the Railways for the supply of rakes and setting up railway lines for which we have signed MoUs with two States. We are aware of the fact that good rail connectivity will help in coal evacuation to a large extent. There is already a regime put in place for checking the quality of coal as well which is assessed by a third party. We have also planned a system for getting clearances whereby an application FDQ EH ÀOHG RQOLQH DQG LWV VWDWXV could be monitored.” Talking about the recent milestons which have helped this sector , he articulated, “The recent auction of coal blocks has set standards for a transparent and objective manner for which it has got appreciation too. Increase in coal production by the CIL has been a high point for the coal sector. We have been working towards the rationalization of linkages so that coal which is unnecessarily carried to long distances could be swapped with some other company. This would ensure that coal travels to a shorter distance and everyone gets adequate quantities of coal.” ŷ

n past decade, dc motors have been widely used in industry. However, the Mechanical commutators and brush assembly make dc motor much more expensive than ac motor. The use of mechanical commutators may produce undesired sparks, which are not allowed in some applications. The disadvantages of dc motor KDYH SURPSWHG FRQWLQXDO DWWHPSWV WR ÀQG EHWWHU VROXWLRQV instead of dc motor. An attempt was made to use ac drives include synchronous motor and induction motor. Induction motors have been widely used as the workhorse in the industry for a long time due to its easy EXLOG KLJK UREXVWQHVV DQG JHQHUDOO\ VDWLVIDFWRU\ HIÀFLHQW However, the induction motor exhibits advantages of simple construction, reliable and relatively low cost, high HIÀFLHQF\ DQG KLJK UREXVWQHVV ,QGXFWLRQ PRWRU KDV been widely used in industry (like paper and textile mills, machine tools, robotics, heat pumps, rolling mills, etc.) Variable structure control (VSC) or sliding mode control (SMC)) is known to be a very effective way for the command tracking control of closed-loop control systems due to its many advantages, including insensitive to parameter variations and external disturbance rejection, and fast dynamic responses. Consequently, VSC has been widely used in DC and AC motor drives. The system dynamics of a VSC system can he divided into two phases: (i) the reaching phase; and (ii) the sliding phase. The robustness of a VSC system resides in its sliding phase, but not in its reaching phase.

InDepth - Revenue protection

evenue protection is very important in every business. It has a very high relevance for the electricity distribution business, since the business is in operation 24x7 and its assets (lines, cables, transformers, meters) are never in the custody of the owner but are spread over the entire area of operation. In such businesses the revenue comes directly from the meter reading hence whenever the topic of revenue loss or protection is discussed the meter is the target. In reality, there are many other aspects to revenue protection, all of these should be considered.

R

This paper touches upon aspects of secure installation practices, their relevance, problems that commonly RFFXU LQ ÀHOG DQG WKH QHHG IRU methods / processes to detect problems during the installation of meters and metering systems in an existing network. It also explores other avenues of revenue protection like testing of meters, types and different class of meters, analysis of data logged by meter, the role of IT, role of energy accounting, detailing of networks, different practices of network designing etc.

Metering application Metering applications can be broadly

46

categorised under two types viz.

Location of the meter

1. tariff metering

The location of the meter, i.e. the type or nature of site where meters are to be installed is important and must be known in advance. Each different site needs different installation practice.

2. system metering Tariff metering covers inter-utility tariff metering and consumer tariff metering; whereas system metering covers 1. meters at grid substations with WZR ZD\ SRZHU ÁRZ 2. metering at distribution substations on incoming feeders, radial feeders and substation transformers 3. metering on outdoor/indoor distribution transformers It is important to recognise that different applications need different VSHFLÀFDWLRQV DQG LQVWDOODWLRQ SUDFWLFHV GHVLJQHG VSHFLÀFDOO\ IRU that application vis-à-vis different IXQFWLRQDO VSHFLÀFDWLRQV RI PHWHUV Taking care of installation practice alone without heed to the functional VSHFLÀFDWLRQV ZLOO QRW VHUYH the overall purpose of revenue protection. For example, with the introduction of ABT tariffs, the need for boundary meters to support frequency linked rates is essential, in the absence of which the basic function is not achieved.

The major cause of revenue loss has been lacunae in location and installation practices. These poor installation practices allow tamper by consumers. It could be with the connivance of a few unscrupulous utility employees who assist customers on different methods of tamper. Implementation of sound installation practices can certainly deter this.

Indoor-meter installation The normal practices of installing meters inside the user’s premises are as under: h The

meter may be installed with or without a sealed meter box inside customer premises which the customer can lock by covering the meter in a box or by locking the room (Figure-1)

h Mounting the meter and CTs

Meter type Meter type and installation challenges Meters of different accuracy classes (ex. 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 etc) are used for different purposes based on the requirement of accuracy. Different types of meters are.: (i) 1 phase Whole Current meters (ii) 3 phase Whole Current meters2 element (iii) 3 phase Whole Current meters3 element (iv) 3 phase CT connected meters2 element (v) 3 phase CT connected meters3 element (vi) 3 phase CT/PT connected meters - 2 element (vii) 3 phase CT/PT connected meters - 3 element It is important to note that 3-phase 3 wire 2 element meters (whether whole current or CT operated) are unsuitable for 4 wire systems. Nearly all of our LT systems are 4 wire systems with the neutral grounded at the transformer end. Utilities have now recognised this fact, but there are still a number of sites with 3 phase 3 wire meters. It is worth replacing these meters on priority, as they are a potential cause for loss of revenue especially for measurement in severely unbalanced applications.

2 Element meter vs 3 element meters 2 element meters have been used for

(Figure -4)

many decades. It is a cost effective setup, since the cost of meter, CT and PT is almost 2/3rd of the cost of a 3 element setup. But this may be a false economy as a 2 element meter set up can lead to loss of revenue for the utility .

Another possible cause for loss of revenue could be: HT / EHT customer is required to use a delta/star step down transformer. If at a later stage he (the customer) replaces it with a star/ star transformer, the utility will never know. If it’s neutral is earthed on the HV/EHV side the meter will underregister, this will go unnoticed in a 2 element meter. To overcome such problems, a 3 element meter is most suitable. (Figure-6)

Factors affecting measurements in CT-PT operated meters The energy audit and accounting activities at different levels of the power system are plagued by problems like inconsistent loss ÀJXUHV HWF DV D UHVXOW of poor installation practices (they contribute to errors in measurement of energy; thereby the ORVV ÀJXUHV The factors which affect CT/PT connected meters are listed and discussed below:

Influence of CT & PT wires In CT connected meters and CT & PT connected HT meter installations, the size and length of the CT & PT wires play a major role in measurement accuracy. Large voltage drops in undersized PT wires cause lower energy to be registered by the meter, hence this contributes towards measurement error. Voltage drop in PT wires cause an error which can be as large as 1% or more in energy recorded. All the “extra” investment made by the utility in high accuracy metering and PTs is undone just by PT cables. This problem is can be seen at substations with large switchyards where a common bus PT is used for metering. It is also the reason why, in HV and EHV lines, the energy recorded at the receiving end is at times more than the energy sent from the sending end. Other areas that need attention are contact tightening and status of conductors which may be at breaking point due to stress from other conductors and/or ageing.

Influence of VA burden VA burden of both CTs and PTs need to be carefully examined prior

needs to be correctly noted, and the multiplication factor needs to be documented at each installation. Another common problem observed is the wiring of Ammeter and it’s selector switch. Often they are found wrongly wired or damaged causing under-registration of energy

to installation. In case of CTs, the loop burden must be tested taking into consideration the CT leads. This needs a quick calculation or test at site. The operating burden must be such that the instrument transformers are not over-burdened or under-burdened, as that affects the accuracy of the measurement system. Normally the distance from the CTs & PTs to the metering unit should be minimised to the extent possible (the length of the secondary conductors contribute additional burden). In case, long secondary wires can’t be avoided, standard nomograph charts may be helpful to assess the length of secondary wires to be used at a particular site. In addition, joints in CT & PT wires must be avoided. The termination of the wires have to be carefully examined, In case lugs are being used, special care has be taken during crimping of the wires.

and due to it’s characteristic curve (Figure-7) do not saturate faster on heavy fault current . The current passing through the measuring element of meter will always be higher than basic current (Ib) rating of the meter leading to meter damage as well. One common source of error (or manipulation) is the nameplate for CTs. Mis-match in what is written on the nameplate and the actual CT ratio can cause revenue loss (in rare cases there may be revenue gain). Hence a ‘ratio test’ prior to installation is needed. In case of multi-tap CT cores, where wiring the CT to different CT ratios is possible, the tap position that has been adopted

It is a normal substation practice of mounting meters on a panel in the control room while CT - PTs are in the yard at a distance of hundreds of yards causing errors in measurement. It would be better to install meters in the switchyard near the CT - PT. Display units with wired communications would be more useful.

Specification of DT meter Everyone knows that it is not easy to have balanced loading on DTs but it essential to maximise revenue for a utility. Unbalanced loads can cause higher losses not only in DT but downstream in the low voltage network as well. Hence a normal meter with KW maximum demand does not serve the purpose. A DT meter must have different VSHFLĂ€FDWLRQV D PHWHU ZKLFK provides data of phase wise loading in KVA. Such meters can help in initiating balancing action. (Figure-8)

Influence of errors in wiring & nameplate In case of CTs, special caution is needed to ensure 1. correct polarity of wires 2. correct phase association 3. use of low loss core 4. use of metering core and not protection core The latter is very important as meters wired to the protection cores of CTs or protection CTs have a larger error within the normal operating range

Meter Testing Periodic testing of meters and replacing defective ones Many installation surveys and audits have revealed that in residential and commercial category with 1 phase and 3 phase whole current meters 10% to 25% meters are defective. Out of these defective meters 30% to 40% do not register energy (stopped meters). Many electricity regulators have directed utilities to test 1 phase meters once in 5 years, 3 phase meters once in 3 years and HT meters every year. Only a few utilities follow the directives and these utilities test 20% of the installed meters every year. They follow the practice of testing all the meters in a selected subdivision, with ‘stopped meters’ being replaced the same day. It has been observed that they KDYH EHQHÀWHG IURP WKLV SUDFWLFH

cause error in current and potential measurement which ultimately registers lower energy in the energy meter

A decade ago none of the utilities could think of testing CT-PTs, since this was possible only in the laboratory. The CT-PT had to be dismantled and sent to a laboratory which was time consuming and expensive. For some years now, portable CT-PT testing facilities are available to utilities. Also many organisations offer mobile testing services which can test a CT up to 1000 Amps and PT up to 132 KV at site. Many utilities have opted for such services. This is good practice as, universally, it is normal practice to get both systems and processes audited by external agencies. In the case of HT customers many electricity regulators have directed utilities to test CT and PT along with HT meters every year. For a utility billing of HT and EHT customers constitute a large part of their revenue and a small percentage loss creates a big dent in the revenue. CT-PT are silent gadgets in the network and often they are ignored. A utility must take on site testing very seriously, conduct it as a

‘health check of the CT-PT’, (even if no error is found) every year.

Energy accounting and reconciliation Utilities serve large areas and have a large customers base. It is impossible (literary) to weed out bad consumers. Energy accounting (energy audit) can help to locate areas with high loss by providing meters at 11KV feeders and DTs. This requires proper documentation of the 11 KV network, HT customers, DTs and connected customers. (Figure-9)

Electronic meter data analysis Electronic meters have been designed to register energy accurately and to reduce the possibilities of energy theft / pilferage. Further, these meters log many useful and important parameters. Utilities have used such meters to achieve loss reduction and revenue protection. A lot of data is generated by these meters but if it is not analysed and used by utilities the full value of the data from such meters can’t be realised. The data that should be analysed: 1. Tamper data (data of illogical events ) 2. Demand violation with duration 3. Peak and base demand

In the case of HT meters, either meters are tested or replaced by freshly tested meters

Testing of CT-PT CT is a continuously connected device in electricity network. It is always subjected to switching surges and burdened with fault current and high loading which contains DC component in the current. This causes drifting of CT characteristic and saturation of the CT core creating undermeasurement of current. Similarly, PT also develops defects and produces lower secondary voltage. Both these defects

Revenue loss due to harmonics Utility never supplies harmonics to a customer but non-linear loads (electronic gadgets and switched load) used by customers generates harmonics. Harmonics are partly absorbed by the utility system creating excessive heating of network and transformers. It also causes high neutral current and excessive I²R loss in the neutral conductor.

electricity at a voltage within its variation band. However, customers have to tolerate low voltages and compensate for it by using voltage boosters to run their gadgets. Voltage boosters increase current on the network which increases T&D loss (I²R loss). This is bad for the end user as well, they use a lot more energy, increasing the cost.

Load forecasting and reducing UI penalties Load forecasting and reducing UI penalties These days almost all the utilities have powerful tool that enable cost effective purchase of power, thereby protecting their revenue. The load curve and other relevant meter data can be used effectively to build a demand curve for their operational area. This can be utilised to reduce UI penalties and earn rewards by managing the demand and the load.

Balancing DT meter energy By balancing energy sent out past the DT meter and energy received by customers high loss area can easily be located. It will be a question of a few connections only and these can be dealt with easily and effectively.

India is the world’s sixth-largest consumer of energy and fourth in power production. The role of power sector for Indian economy is analogous to that of backbone for a body and hence the power sector is given importance while creating laws, regulations and planning for the nation. With its huge population, India has always suffered acute power shortage and demand supply mismatch. The power sector reforms were started in the mid-1990s era and many SEBs were restructured during this time.

Overview The generation installed capacity of the country from all sources was 1362 MW in 1947 at the time of independence has now increased to 275912 MW at the end of July, 2015. Coal based generation contributes around 65% of the total installed capacity whereas of hydel generation is contributing only around 16%. The focus of Indian government has also now shifted for development of renewable energy which resulted that the proportion of renewable energy has become approximately 14% at the end of July, 2015. The wind energy contributes around 65 % of total renewable power. The Government has issued several incentives and promotional policies for promotion of solar energy which resulted that the proportion of solar power increased rapidly in last few years. The source wise and sector wise details of the generation installed capacity as on July, 2015 are given below:

Demand vis-a-vis Supply status The annual Load Generation Balance Report (LGBR) for the year 2015-16 issued by CEA has provide the assessment of unrestricted peak demand, unrestricted energy requirement and peak and energy availability of constituent states of each Region based on the projections made by the states, past data and the trend analysis. The LGBR also provides the data of actual unrestricted peak demand, actual unrestricted energy requirement including the actual peak and energy availability during FY 2014-15.

Anticipated power supply during FY 2015-16 As per the LGBR, the country is likely to experience the energy shortage of 2.1% and peak shortage of 2.6%

only, despite very high shortages likely to be experienced by Southern Region. The peaking shortages are likely to prevail mainly in the Southern Regions to the tune of 19.8%. State-wise power supply position shows that almost half of the states would be either surplus or balanced, and the remaining states would face both peaking and energy shortages in varying degrees during 2015-16. However, the actual shortage in a state would depend on the extent to which the state is able to get additional power from the surplus states.

Today, solar module manufacturers stand at a critical position within the industry, as they determine benchmarks and quality and eventually define the future of Indian solar projects. hough PV manufacturing industry can now be safely termed as ‘mature’, the way modules are being produced have changed significantly over the past few decades and it continues to change at a phenomenally rapid pace with technology and the quality of raw materials improving every year.

The lack of Quality Standards in the industry has a negative effect on the quality of modules being installed in the country today. All manufacturers build their modules in their own way with little standardization or adherence to quality processes and methods, which are commonplace in other manufacturing industries. ,QYHVWRUV ÀQDQFLHUV DQG OHQGHUV stand the most to gain from PV systems over the long-term, but also the most to lose if the modules fail to perform. Investors, developers, EPC, O&M must appreciate that manufacturing quality be taken more sincerely and proactively or they are bound to face untoward risks of failure all along the way. Except for some seasoned veterans, many fail to comprehensively evaluate the quality of the module. Contrary to popular belief, PV modules are not a commodity, and it must be noted that modules of the same power wattage can differ drastically in quality.

hese days with emerging developments in all sectors and growing demands, electricity has become priority for every individual and every organization. The basic procedure for power supply includes power generation, power transmission and power distribution to the destinations. Naturally owing to few technical losses may occur due to power dissipation by some devices. These losses can be minimized using the fast developing technology, but what about the other kind of losses? These are the losses caused deliberately by human beings for the sake of illegal access to the power distribution. This is called power theft.

In developing countries like India, power theft is one of the most prevalent issue which not only cause economic losses but also irregular supply of electricity. It hampers functioning of industries and factories, due to shortage of power supplied to them. It also causes shortage of power supply to homes. It leads to loss of revenue

and increases corruption in form of bribes and many more. Ultimately it is the country economy which suffers along with the country’s political reputation. In the power taping the power theft is done by illegal tapping of the power lines to divert the power to the required destinations. It is also done by illegal connections to the power grid stations, which are cut at the time of billing. In many areas where manual reading of the meter is done, the person is often bribed to give false readings and thus the amount paid is the lesser amount of power compared to the power actually consumed. Also meters are tempered by obstructing the motion of the disk or by using different devises in electronic meters.

The graph presented below shows the reduction in losses due to various actions suggested by ERDA as knowledge support to MGVCL. High Voltage Distribution System: HVDS was implemented on 11kV Bharoda feeder. Based on our past experience, this scheme may reduce the T&D loss from existing loss level to approximately 8% of particular feeder. However, it again depends on the length of feeders. In case of 11kV Bharoda feeder (HVDS), T&D losses have decreased from 25.72 to 21.87%. Similar reductions can be expected for other feeders after implementing HVDS. Replacement of LT AB Cable: LT ABC is replaced. Based on the experience, this will lead to reduction in commercial loss by 2.5%. ERDA observe an appreciable reduction of 1.85% in AT&C losses. Anti-Theft Drives: By conducting Anti-Theft drives twice or thrice in every month by setting up of

vigilance squads, carrying out surprise inspections etc., losses due to thefts can be reduced. If this exercise continues at this pace then after one year, the impact would be around 1.6%. Replacement of Meters: Total 1241 faulty meters were replaced and total loss reduced due to replacement of meter is 0.72% Ring Fencing: Reduction of losses calculated based on the installation of meters at boundary locations at all desired places. Loss reduction is estimated as 0.6%. Shifting of Meters: Losses are estimated based on shifting of 3781 meters from inside of premises to outside. Total loss reduction was calculated as 0.21%.

wire/cable in an electrical circuit. It has wide application in industries like Auto-Electricals, Electrical, Electronics, Switch Gears, Control Panels, Tele-Communication and White good appliances. TT is serving leading OEM’s in these industries, directly or indirectly through their Tier-1 / Tier-2 vendors.

“The purpose of business is to create and enhance value for customers stakeholders & societyâ€?. T e r m i n a l Technologies (I) Pvt. Ltd. ( ‘TT’ ) was founded on the basis above principle in 1993. Started by two young boys having small experience RI WKUHH \HDUV HDFK LQ WKH Ă€HOG RI marketing, commonly known products, as cable terminals. Mr. C.A. Anto & Mr. Sanjay Negandhi started this humble beginnings by WKH VPDOO Ă€QDQFLDO VDYLQJ RI 5V 000/-, as the seed capital which was saved from miniature salaries in those days. C A Anto

A small industrial gala (unit) of 600 sq. feet was taken on rent, in Goregaon, 0XPEDL 7KH YHU\ ÀUVW SRZHU SUHVV was purchased on instalments and WKH YHU\ ÀUVW SURJUHVVLYH WRRO ZDV commissioned with the help of external tool manufacturer.

of Customer delight, Integrity & Transparency, Innovation in products & process were key to the manufacturing practices. Adoption to the latest Sanjay Negandhi technologies in the ÀHOG RI WRROPDNLQJ PDQXIDFWXULQJ were key elements for success of business. Opening up of Indian economy in early 90’s and arrival of Japanese Automotive Manufacturers in India gave TT large opportunities for manufacturing such components that can be used in automation of building wiring harness products. This brought in the need for delivering high quality terminals in chain form for the mass manufacturing needs of the auto wire harness industry. Previous manufacturing practice was completely manual producing low volume as well as unreliable qualty. Started with basic products as standard Cable Terminals made out of Copper material being used in Control Panel wiring application, TT today manufacture wide range of complex and challenging interconnection parts.These products are being used for termination of

Recognising the need for in-house expertise of progressive tool making, a small setup of basic tool-room was started in 1994 where making of new progressive tools stated taking birth. Gradually TT started getting necessary expertise in the field of tool designing and tool making. Tool room engineers & tool designers were inducted to take the new challenges in component development. Hence, all the tools subsequently were successfully developed in-house by internal team. In 1999 as TT felt the need to shift to bigger and better premise from existing combination of four individual galas (Industrial Unit ) with a separate tool-room.While shifting to a bigger premise in Vasai, just outside Mumbai, TT ordered and commissioned the first Taiwan’s high speed stamping press machine. During this year along with two high speed progressive tools to be run on this machine. This gave opportunity to understand the design concept of high speed progressive tools .TT adopted this new techniques in tool making which was subsequently deployed for designing new progressive tools. In the same year, TT commissioned new tool room with latest & imported machineries and equipment like EDM Wire-Cut, EDM Spark, Grinding and Milling .This gave a big boost to HIÀFLHQW WRROPDNLQJ DQG OHDGLQJ WR shorter development time. By this time, TT was producing more than 1 million pieces per day. Next 9 years witnessed hectic activity in all the fronts like New Product development, New Customers

Addition, Commissioning of more numbers of imported high speed lines and necessary process and equipments for developing manufacturing and delivering critical and challenging components. The production capacity was increased to 3 million parts per day. In year 2008, TT’s expansion of the capacity was carried out by setting up of a modern manufacturing factory at Western India’s automotive hub, Chakan at Pune. This 20000 sq. feet new facility was stared keeping in mind requirement of growing demand of Automotive industry. This unit was primarily focused on designing, developing & manufacturing of injection moulded plastic components like wire to wire connectors, housings, Fuse Boxes & Relay Bases. Engineering design centre, Modern tool-room equipped with latest Japanese Machines were installed.

As an addition of a New Product Line, TT started designing and development of insert moulded plastic parts/components. Highly complex and challenging components were developed, many of which are being exported, earning substantial amount of the forex for the country. Currently, TT has a capacity to produce over 5 million parts per day and tool room can be leveraged to produce almost 100 tool& molds per annum. Believing in the best ,most of TT’s machines are Japanaese origin for reliable and continous production. Facilties are backed by the latest in Inspection and Measurement technology, which includes many non- contact measurement devices. Continuously investing in the latest technologies, TT has recently adopted camera based on-line inspection systems which can measure parts on-line at a speed of 500 SPM, at an acuuracy levels conventional

measuring equipements can not even measure.TT invest in latest technolgy sourced from world over and adopt them for delivering the consistency in quality, which is the back bone for such critical product in any electrical circuits. Backed by rich experience of over two decades, TT is well positioned to undertake development of most complex parts in stamping and moulding technologies. TT also offers new design concepts in new products UHVROYLQJ FXVWRPHU¡V GLIĂ€FXOWLHV DQG concerns. Development of such parts, with closely working with customer’s R&D dept. has helped achieving substantial saving in cycletime, product cost reduction and achieving Poka-yoke in the process .

Government targets bringing down T&D losses to 15% by 2019 Government is targeting to bring down transmission and distribution (T&D) losses in the power sector to 15 per cent by 2019 from 22 per cent at present."The power ministry has set a target to bring down the T&D losses from the current 22 per cent to 15 per cent by 2019," said a source. T&D losses happen in transmission between sources of supply and points of distribution as well as during power supply to consumers. The losses also include pilferage. "The various schemes of the government, including Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana and Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS), will play a great role in bringing down the T&D losses," the source said. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in July, focuses on feeder separation (rural households and agricultural) and strengthening of sub-transmission and distribution infrastructure, including metering at all levels in rural areas. The Rs 45,000-crore Integrated Power Development Scheme was launched by the Prime Minister on Friday. It will cover works relating to strengthening sub- transmission and distribution systems, including provisioning of solar panels, metering of distribution transformers/feeders / consumers in urban areas and IT enablement of the distribution sector. Central Electricity Authority has said that T&D losses in India are still very high when compared to international standards.The government had earlier said that power sector is set for $250 billion investments across different segments, including transmission and distribution.
