Staff Reporter

In order to provide uninterrupted power supply during the upcoming summer season and meet with the eventualities, Tata Power Delhi Distribution ltd (Tata Power-DDl) has made an advanced preparation with 39 ‘Mobile Distribution Transformers’ (MDT) that is evenly stationed across its distribution network in North and North West Delhi.

Praveer Sinha, CEO and MD of Tata Power-DDl said "We are committed to provide uninterrupted power supply to our consumer and have made adequate arrangements to meet the peak demand and tackle eventualities during impending summer.

“The stationing of mobile transformers is a step towards restoring the power supply in any affected area in the least possible time. These transformers can be operational in a fraction of a time and will enhance the overall network efficiency for N-1 power supply,” he said.

These MDT will provide quick restoration of service during contingencies, supporting system stability and helping in the continuity of supply in case of eventualities due to high peak demand and according to network requirements. Also these transformers will significantly reduce the response time during emergency as compared to traditional transformers (fixed) and restore the supply at the earliest.

“The Mobile Distribution Transformers are also backed up by 24x7 dedicated breakdown teams to attend breakdowns and restore supply to the affected area,” said a senior official of Tata Power.
