Power systems in India is growing at a fast pace to meet the future electrical energy requirement. It is a challenge for power engineers to cater to quality & uninterrupted power to the consumers. To meet this challenges it is very vital for the designers to adopt innovative technology solutions with standard modularized features, which result in less work at site, least maintenance work post erection, higher reliability and least environmental impact.
This paper focuses on the latest technologies like controlled switching, GIS, MTS, DCB; which are adopted by substation design engineers to cater to future challenges posed by fast economic development.
