SUMMARY
The Indian Power Sector is growing at an accelerated pace. Peak demand is expected to be more than
157,000 M b! "01" which necessitates installed capacit! o# abo$t "10,000 M. %$rther, to meet the
growth rate o# Indian econom!, installed capacit! o# power generation shall be abo$t &00,000 M b!
"0"5. To keep pace with generation, transmission s!stem needs to be strengthened #or power trans#er #rom
generating stations to the load centres. 'onsidering the serio$s di##ic$lt! o# a(ailabilit! o# )ight o# a!
*)+,, it is considered pr$dent to adopt 1"00k- .' as next transmission (oltage le(el in the co$ntr! #or

established at /ina, Madh!a Pradesh in central part o# India in association with "5 Indian man$#act$rers.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
In India, ma0or primar! energ! reso$rces, i.e., coal and h!dro potential, are concentrated in #ew pockets.
%or example, coal deposit is con#ined to 1astern part, while h!dro potential is located in <orth8eastern and
$pper parts o# <orthern )egion. There#ore, to ens$re optimal $tili7ation o# reso$rces, it re4$ires
de(elopment o# large si7ed reso$rce based generating stations and trans#er o# b$lk power to the #ar8o##
load centres thro$gh long distance transmission network. -ario$s iss$es like )ight8o#8a! *)+, and
social aspects etc. are posing ma0or challenges #or the de(elopment o# e##icient transmission s!stem. To
address abo(e aspects, it has been considered pr$dent to adopt power transmission at 1"00 k- .' and
=;00 k- >-3' le(els to ha(e high intensit! power trans#er per metre o# )+. P+1)2)I3 is alread!
operating h!brid 1>- .' and >-3' s!stems in their <ational 2rid which has pro(ed an e##ecti(e tool
#or e##icient network operation and management.
Since limited experience is a(ailable in the world on 1"00 k- .', it was decided to establish a 1"00 k-
Test Station at /ina, Madh!a Pradesh in the central part o# India. The test station shall consist o# " nos.
ba!s o# 1"00 k-, " sets o# 1"00 k- trans#ormers *1000 M-. each /ank, and one single circ$it 1"00k-
Transmission 6ine 5 one do$ble circ$it 1"00 k- Transmission 6ine * abo$t 1 km each,. The experience
gained on (ario$s 1"00k- e4$ipments shall help in #ine t$ning the technical parameters #or 1"00 k-
transmission pro0ects which are expected b! "01?@19. The detailed #ield testing shall be taken $p #or
