BSES Rajdhani Power limited (BRPl) and BSES Yamuna Power limited (BYPl) have started deploying innovating solutions like 'Double Decker Sub Stations' (DDSS) and 'Electronic House' in congested areas to augment their distribution network.
By implementing this, BSES have become the first discoms in Delhi to deploy these space saving solutions. These solutions will take 40 to 50 per cent less space than conventional sub-stations, making them ideal for congested areas.
BSES spokesperson said "Since inception, the discoms have taken a lead in adopting innovative technologies to reduce "Aggregate Technical and Commercial losses" and to ensure reliable and quality power supply to more than 38 lakh consumers.
BRPl has commissioned Delhi's first DDSS' in Sangam Vihar that is heavily congested area in South Delhi. After the successful completion of the project, 50 more DDSS are planned over the next few months. While BYPl has installed Delhi's first state-of-the-art packaged Grid or Electronic House (Electronic Compacted Switchgear) in Krishna Nagar, a congest area in East Delhi. The 36 MVA E (Electronic House) in Krishna Nagar's C Block, will substantially improve the area's power supply by adding 36 MVA capacity. This will cater to the area's present and future needs.
"A Grid is typically commissioned in about 18 months. On the other hand, this E Hub has been commissioned in less than 8 months, thereby saving a lot of time. Another unique feature of this compact packaged grid is that it does not need separate premises to house the panel as it can be encased within the existing enclosed compartment," said a BSES official.
BRPl and BYPl are premier power distribution companies and Joint ventures between Reliance Infrastructure limited and GoNCT.
