Power is an essential requirement for all facets of our life and
has been recognized as a
basic human need. It is the critical
infrastructure on which the socio-economic
development of the
country depends. The growth of the economy and its global
competitiveness hinges on the availability of reliable and quality
power at competitive
rates. The demand of power in India is enormous
and is growing steadily. Per capita
consumption
of electricity is expected to rise to over 1000 kilowatt hours per
annum
(kwh/ annum) in next 10 years (from present level of 580 kwh).
The availability of power has increased but demand
has consistently outstripped supply
and substantial energy & peak
shortages of 7.1% & 11.2% prevail in India. Coupled with
this is the
urban-rural dichotomy in supply- as per Census 2001, only about 56%
of
households have access to electricity, with the rural access
being 44% and urban access
about 82%. In the case of those who do
have electricity, reliability and quality are
matters of great
concern. The annual per capita consumption, at about 580 kWh is
among the lowest in the world.
These problems emanate from:
- inadequate power generation capacity
- lack of optimum utilization of the existing generation capacity
- inadequate inter-regional transmission links
- inadequate and ageing sub-transmission & distribution network
leading to power cuts
and local failures/faults
- T&D losses, large scale theft and skewed tariff structure
- slow pace of rural electrification
- inefficient use of electricity by the end consumer
- lack of grid discipline
We realize the fact that only good operating
practices and maintenance schedules alone
can not reduce the energy
wastage in operating energy systems. We, at MELCON
consider energy
efficiency as one of the major parameters in our transformer
designs.
Our transformers have low no-load and load losses.
