Electrical engineering agency Empowertrans commissions Odishas first digital course of bus-based 132 KV grid station

Empowertrans, {an electrical} engineering firm, serving energy transmission infrastructure segments, for Power Utility and Power Generation industries throughout India, stated it has efficiently commissioned Odisha’s first-ever digital Process Bus-based 2×20 MVA, 132/33 KV grid substation at Agalpur, Rampur in Balangir district. 

Developed for Odisha Power Transmission Corporation Ltd. (OPTCL), this facility marks a big technological leap, being the primary of its variety by any State Transmission Utility (STU) in India, the corporate stated. 

The substation was inaugurated by Odisha Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Energy Ok.V. Singh Deo.

Asit Pradhan, Managing Director, Empowertrans stated, “The Agalpur substation represents a paradigm shift in how energy techniques are designed, monitored, and managed. This achievement displays our dedication to pioneering superior applied sciences and delivering sustainable, future-ready options.”

Unlike standard substations, the Agalpur facility employs a Process Bus structure that integrates digital sensors positioned close to gear, fiber optic communication networks, and clever automation techniques. 

This permits real-time knowledge evaluation, sooner fault detection, management and enhanced operational effectivity. The digital design additionally contributes to a considerable discount in carbon footprint, aligning with world sustainability objectives.

With a monitor report in Extra High Voltage electrical engineering, the corporate stated it has constantly delivered revolutionary options throughout India. 

It had beforehand commissioned Odisha’s first QUAD Moose 400 KV Double Circuit Transmission Line at Kamalanga for the GMR Group, and launched Monopole Tower-based Transmission Line utilizing High Tension Low Sag (HTLS) conductors for IPCL, West Bengal and BALCO, Chhattisgarh.

It had additionally constructed the nation’s first cyclone-resistant transmission line in Wind Zone-6 at Puri for Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (PGCIL), reinforcing its popularity as a pacesetter in resilient and superior energy infrastructure, it stated. 

As the ability business evolves with the rise of Renewable power and digital transformation, the corporate stated it remained on the forefront, dedicated to delivering high-quality, time-bound initiatives that redefine the requirements of transmission engineering.
