Power Grid Corporation of India – Company Analysis
Objectives of the Study: An electrical grid is an interconnected network for delivering electricity from suppliers to consumers. It consists of three main components: 1) power stations that produce electricity from combustible fuels (coal, natural gas, biomass) or non-combustible fuels (wind, solar, nuclear, hydro power); 2) transmission lines that carry electricity from power plants to demand centers; and 3) transformers that reduce voltage so distribution lines carry power for final delivery. So it is essential to understand Electricity generation, Electric power transmission, Electricity distribution by various companies in India and Power Grid Corporation of India is one of the reputed company among them.
Industry Profile:
Electric-power transmission is the bulk transfer of electrical energy, from generating power plants to electrical substations located near demand centers. This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. Transmission lines, when interconnected with each other, become transmission networks. Most transmission lines use high-voltage three-phase alternating current (AC), although single phase AC is sometimes used in railway electrification systems. High-voltage directcurrent (HVDC) technology is used for greater efficiency in very long distances (typically hundreds of miles (kilometres), or in submarine power cables (typically longer than 30 miles (50 km). HVDC links are also used to stabilize against control problems in large power distribution networks where sudden new loads or blackouts in one part of a network can otherwise result in synchronization problems and cascading failures. A key limitation in the distribution of electric power is that, with minor exceptions, electrical energy cannot be stored, and therefore must be generated as needed. A sophisticated control system is required to ensure electric generation very closely matches the demand. If the demand for power exceeds the supply, generation plants and transmission equipment can shut down which, in the worst cases, can lead to a major regional blackout. To reduce the risk of such failures, electric transmission networks are interconnected into regional, national or continental wide networks thereby providing multiple redundant alternative routes for power to flow should (weather or equipment) failures occur. Much analysis is done by transmission companies to determine the maximum reliable capacity of each line (ordinarily less than its physical or thermal limit) to ensure spare capacity is available should there be any such failure in another part of the network.
Mission: The mission of the corporation is establishment and operation of regional and national power grids to facilitate transfer of electric power within and across the regions with reliability, security and economy, on sound commercial principles. POWERGRID is committed to: a)establish and maintain an efficient and effective "national grid " with due regard to time, cost, technology, and value additions. b) Sustainable development through conservation of natural resources and adopting environment friendly technology on principle of avoidance, minimization and mitigation c) ensure safe, occupational hazard free and healthy work environment, to the satisfaction of stake holders in all areas of its activities and shall endeavour to continually improve its management systems and practices in conformity to legal and regulatory provisions. In the snapshot products of the company is given as Generation, transmission and distribution. But POWERGRID is in the business of Bulk power transmission, Telecom and providing consultancy services to Power Utilities (both domestic and International)

Power Grid has consistently maintained the transmission system availability over 99.00% which is at par with the International Utilities.
In 1980 the Rajadhyaksha Committee on Power Sector Reforms submitted its report to the Government of India suggesting extensive reforms in the Indian power sector. Based on the recommendations of the Rajadhyaksha Committee, in 1981 the Government of India took the policy decision to form a national power grid which would pave the way for the integrated operation of the central and regional transmission systems. Pursuant to this decision to form a national power grid, PowerGrid was incorporated on October 23, 1989 under the companies Act, 1956 as the National Power Transmission Corporation Limited, with the responsibility of planning, executing, owning, operating and maintaining the high voltage transmission systems in the country. The Company received a certificate for commencement of business
on November 8, 1990. Subsequently, the name of the Company was changed to Power Grid Corporation of India Limited with effect from October 23, 1992. POWERGRID has enhanced the inter-regional capacity of National Grid to 22,400 MW.India is divided into 5 Regions - Northern Region(NR), Eastern Region(ER), Western Region(WR), Southern Region(SR) and North-East Region(NER). Out of all these Regions the NR,ER,WR and NER are synchronized which is known as NEW Grid. Whereas SR is not synchronized with the rest of the regions with AC lines and hence runs on a slightly different Frequency. SR is connected with WR and ER with HVDC links only. When PGCIL was formed then the responsibility of Regional Load Despatch Centres (RLDCs) was handed over to POWERGRID by Central Electricity Authority (CEA). On 25th February, 2009 the National Load Despatch Center (NLDC) was inaugurated. Now these Regional Load Despatch Centres (RLDCs) and National Load Despatch Center (NLDC) is a separate Organisation named POSOCO (Power system Operation Corporation), a wholly owned subsidiary of POWERGRID. International Business Department is created with the objective to spread POWERGRID?s engineering services in Power Transmission Business across the world. The objective is strategic to POWREGRID?s growth plans; to de-risk domestic operations by way of diversified geographic presence, to gear up for next competitive phase and to learn international best practices. POWERGRID, the 3rd largest transmission utility in the world, is continuously setting best power transmission practices that are well acknowledged by multilateral funding agencies like The World Bank, ADB, JICA, JBIC etc. who have extended multibillion loans to POWERGRID in establishing transmission network in India. As POWERGRID is a Utility turned Consultant, the feedback obtained while carrying out the Operation & Maintenance of its projects is ploughed back to its design departments for continual improvement. This point of difference (POD) puts POWERGRID as the much preferred consultant to bring in world class transmission to its clients. Based on the rich experience earned through implementation of huge transmission networks in India and abroad by adopting latest technology in multifarious topology and environment, POWERGRID has so far been assigned more than 350 nos. of consultancy assignments by national and international clients in Construction of Transmission Lines and Substations, Load Despatch Centre, Distribution and Rural Electrification. POWERGRID has taken up 45 international assignments in countries like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Tajikistan, Sri Lanka and UAE. The biggest advantage of POWERGRID is that unlike many of the renowned consultants, POWERGRID itself is one of the largest practicing transmission utility with experience in Engineering, Design, Procurement, Construction, Project Management, Construction Supervision, Up gradation of Transmission System, Operation and Maintenance of transmission system. POWERGRID has a highly experienced and skilled talent pool of over 9800 full time employees which is its biggest strength in successfully implementing domestic and international projects.

Based on the recommendations of the Rajadhyaksha Committee, in 1981 the Government of India took the policy decision to form a national power grid which would pave the way for the integrated operation of the central and regional transmission systems. Pursuant to this decision to form a national power grid, PowerGrid was incorporated on October 23, 1989 under the companies Act, 1956 as the National Power Transmission Corporation Limited, with the responsibility of planning, executing, owning, operating and maintaining the high voltage transmission systems in the country. The Company received a certificate for commencement of business
on November 8, 1990. Subsequently, the name of the Company was changed to Power Grid Corporation of India Limited with effect from October 23, 1992. POWERGRID has enhanced the inter-regional capacity of National Grid to 22,400 MW.India is divided into 5 Regions - Northern Region(NR), Eastern Region(ER), Western Region(WR), Southern Region(SR) and North-East Region(NER). Out of all these Regions the NR,ER,WR and NER are synchronized which is known as NEW Grid. Whereas SR is not synchronized with the rest of the regions with AC lines and hence runs on a slightly different Frequency. SR is connected with WR and ER with HVDC links only. When PGCIL was formed then the responsibility of Regional Load Despatch Centres (RLDCs) was handed over to POWERGRID by Central Electricity Authority (CEA). On 25th February, 2009 the National Load Despatch Center (NLDC) was inaugurated. Now these Regional Load Despatch Centres (RLDCs) and National Load Despatch Center (NLDC) is a separate Organisation named POSOCO (Power system Operation Corporation), a wholly owned subsidiary of POWERGRID. International Business Department is created with the objective to spread POWERGRID?s engineering services in Power Transmission Business across the world. The objective is strategic to POWREGRID?s growth plans; to de-risk domestic operations by way of diversified geographic presence, to gear up for next competitive phase and to learn international best practices. POWERGRID, the 3rd largest transmission utility in the world, is continuously setting best power transmission practices that are well acknowledged by multilateral funding agencies like The World Bank, ADB, JICA, JBIC etc. who have extended multibillion loans to POWERGRID in establishing transmission network in India. As POWERGRID is a Utility turned Consultant, the feedback obtained while carrying out the Operation & Maintenance of its projects is ploughed back to its design departments for continual improvement. This point of difference (POD) puts POWERGRID as the much preferred consultant to bring in world class transmission to its clients. Based on the rich experience earned through implementation of huge transmission networks in India and abroad by adopting latest technology in multifarious topology and environment, POWERGRID has so far been assigned more than 350 nos. of consultancy assignments by national and international clients in Construction of Transmission Lines and Substations, Load Despatch Centre, Distribution and Rural Electrification. POWERGRID has taken up 45 international assignments in countries like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Tajikistan, Sri Lanka and UAE. The biggest advantage of POWERGRID is that unlike many of the renowned consultants, POWERGRID itself is one of the largest practicing transmission utility with experience in Engineering, Design, Procurement, Construction, Project Management, Construction Supervision, Up gradation of Transmission System, Operation and Maintenance of transmission system. POWERGRID has a highly experienced and skilled talent pool of over 9800 full time employees which is its biggest strength in successfully implementing domestic and international projects. Very few consultants in the world have this kind of trained manpower that POWERGRID has today. POWERGRID has rich and varied power transmission experience which it can replicate in global projects and service clients to maximum satisfaction.
