2. Energy : The Building Block of Economy
Energy is essential for Economic growth.
Economic growth is essential for country like India.
Ratio of energy demand and GDP is useful indicator for
Economics growth.
Economic growth of country is depend upon rate of
improvement in per capita energy consumption.

3. Indian Power System
Electricity sector in India is growing at rapid pace.
During the current year 2016-17 (Up to 31.01.2017),
the Peak Demand is about 159 GW and the Installed
Capacity is 314.64 GW.
Thermal - 69.4%
Hydro- 13.9%
Renewable- 14.8%
Nuclear - 1.9%

8. Transmission System
Depending upon the quantum of power and the distance
involved, lines of appropriate voltages are laid.
765 kV, 400 kV,220 kV, 132kV, 66 kV and 33 kV AC
lines.
As on 31
st
December’ 2016, the total transmission
capacity of the inter-regional links is 63,650 MW, which
is expected to be increased to 68,050 MW by the end of
12th plan i.e. 31
st
March, 2017.

10. Distribution system
That part of power system which distributes electric
power for local use is known as distribution system.
In general, the distribution system is the electrical system
between the sub-station fed by the transmission system
and the consumers meters.

15. objectives of formation of National Grid
To transfer power from surplus regions to deficit
regions.
Utilise maximum resources from diversified regions.
Ensure reliable, economical and quality power.

16. NATIONAL GRID :THE ADVANTAGES
STRONG BACKBONE ‘ANYWHERE TO ANYWHERE’ ’ TRADING
ECONOMIC OPERATION.
OPTIMAL UTILISATION OF SCARCE NATIONAL
RESOURCES.
ADDED STABILITY.
BOUNDARY-LESS OPERATION.

18. (DDUGJY) OR (RGGVY)
Government of India has launched the scheme “Deendayal Upadhyaya
Gram Jyoti Yojana” for rural electrification.
Rural Electrification Corporation is the Nodal Agency for
implementation of DDUGJY.
Under DDUGJY-RE, Ministry of Power has sanctioned 921 projects
to electrify 1,21,225 un-electrified villages.

19. Global Energy Crises
Global Energy requirement increases continuously.
Fuel resources are depleted.
Oil price increase continuously.
It put pressure on country economic.
It is estimated that in next 50-60 year oil & gas
resources are consumed.

20. The President’s Message: Independence
Cut down energy losses.
Utilize technologies to provide
a diverse supply of
environmentally friendly
energy.
“We must achieve Energy
Independence by 2030”,
including a cut down in ALL
sectors.
Increase the power generated
through renewable energy
sources from 5% to 25%.
This is the nation’s “first and
highest priority”.
President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
(Rocket Scientist)

21. Energy Scenario in India
India is a seventh largest country and have a
population of 1.2 billion people.
To maintain growth rate, need rapid growth in energy
sector.
Potentially, one of the largest power markets in the world.
Large pool of highly skilled technical personnel.
Abundant coal reserves (enough to last at least 200 years).
