NEWS BIT T&D AUTOMATION OUR SINCERE THANKS FOR THEIR INITIAL ENCOURAGEMENT TO Electrical Grid has grown phenomenally in the pa st, t en years and more. Now the power

grid s have to transmit and distribute power in the order of 18000 MW and more with different Dr.K.Thanappan MBBS DCH types of generator s viz . Hydro, Thermal, Atomic, Gas, Solar and wind, situated fa r and away from General Secretary and Correspondent load centres and cater ing to different types of loads. T he power grid man agement has become KNSK College of Engineering very complex and maintaining the power rated frequency, voltage and harmonicfree has become Therakalputhur, Nagercoil - 1 a n onerous task. Now the updated SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) System s have become very useful for the Load Despatchers for effective grid management . The system Thiru. Pon Robert Singh uses Power Line carrier communication system as well as Optic f iber Communication for Data Chairman transfe r. I nstead of conventional MW MVar measurements,t he present day SCADA measures Ponjesly College of Engineering Voltage, Current and phase angle. The real time measurements of these values at substations Parvathipuram, Nagercoil - 2 and generating stations are evaluated at the Local Despatch Centre. The real t ime measurements enables the load despatchers to assess the Load Angle Difference at the Er.I.Krishna Pillai M.Tech Generating Stations and Load Centres. Phasor Measurement Units (PMUS) Phasor Data Chairman Concentrator (PDCS) Master PDCS and Super PDCS make the measurement and evaluation Cape Institute of Technology Levengipuram mo re accurate and in real time. This enables the Load Despatchers to manage the grid effectively. Er.G.Sivasubramanin F.I.E., Chairman
