Mumbai: Future Power Scenario

Bringing Bulk power challenges:-

Upgrading existing Corridor

Demand: ~4800 MW

TPC-G: 1877 MW
DTPS-G: 500 MW
Purchases: ~2400 MW
(Yr-2020)

Long outage
N-1 will not be available even
after up-gradation

New AC/DC OH lines

Extremely difficult RoW
(Mangroves, Forest, high-rise
buildings, etc.)
Even with tubular towers
electrical clearances are very
difficult

U/G AC Cable
Not possible for long distance

Existing corridor capacity: ~1500MW

Demand Source: STU 5Yr plan upto 2019-20
Confidential

U/G DC Cable
Feasible
Best suited for city infeed
Slide

HVDC with Underground Cable

Independent control of active and
reactive power
Black start capability in case of grid
collapse
No contribution to short circuit levels
Less Space required
Inherent STATCOM feature to support
flicker control
Cable friendly technology

VSC HVDC: Suited for Island city Infeed

Cost of EHV DC Cable, A Challenge
